Model: Frigidaire GPDB998JC0 It fills and drains

Question edited for clarity 'make model (what it is).
Question moved to Frigidaire Washing Machine.

This is the Transmission unit, which I would say puts it beyond economical repair.

Frigidaire H Transmission #WCI-134735700
List Price: $765.13
Sale Price: $637.61

On first reading, I thought it sounded like the pump, but then no agitation, but it spins. This makes it sound like the control board. In view of the confusing actions and the cost involved, I would call out a Service Engineer.

The circuit board has a Cycle generator and sequencer that accepts commands when you manually do a setting. When the sequence enters the spin phase a block occurs and discontinues further action. It is not the timer, but the command center on the circuit board. Because the board has many functions, it is like a set of Christmas Tree lights in series, and when one bulb fails, so goes the set. You will no doubt need a new command board for that model.

I had a similar swooshing sound under the vehicle on a '90 4 runner. Turned out to be water trapped in the running boards. Removed rubber plugs, water drained out, swooshing was gone.

The drain hose might be too low. Make sure the drain hose is at least three feet above the floor.

if it was the speedometer cable, the speedometer wouldn't work

To javed_iqb904, does the drum actually fill or does it seem like that water is draining out as it's filling?


To neonllama19, if it fills with the tap on and the machine off, it sounds like a defective water valve. If it never stopped filling it sounds like a defective pressure switch or hose to the pressure switch is loose or diconnected.

Very likely your drain hose is set too low. You can solve this with a standpipe or a kit called a siphon break.

You'll very likely have something caught in your drain pump. First set the washer to drain and spin. If you hear a hum or grinding noise and the water in the tub isn't draining or it's draining slowly you have something in the pump. If you take the rear panel off you'll reveal the drain pump at the right front corner or maybe middle on this model. if you empty all the water from your machine you can take off the spring clamp (this can be tricky) attaching the thick rubber hose from your tub to your drain pump. (you may want to have some old towels ready) With this off you can feel around for what's blocking the drain pump's impeller. You may want to take the screws out that secure the drain pump to the base and the other spring clamp that attaches the drain hose to the drain pump. Good luck!

it sounds like your water valve is bad or you pressure switch is bad or hose from pressure switch to tub is cloged

The transmission might have locked up causing the motor to overheat.
