Frigidaire Tumble Action Washer

Good Morning Heather,

I understand that your Frigidaire washer, model# FTF2140, begins to fill and then turns off. You unplugged it, trying to reset it, and now the lights are not coming on and your washer is not working. Since you have already reset your washer, by unplugging it, I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose your appliance and determine what the cause of your washer not working is. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

Remove the 2 screws on the top panel and remove the panel. Check the wiring connections on the control board.

Yes. On top loading machines, it is very easy to see. On front loading machines, not so easy to tell. Front load machines fill to a very low level, (which is why you should only use 1 to 2 tablespoons of HE soap with them) then when they begin to tumble (wash motion) the clothes absorb water, causing the water level to drop, resulting in the fill of additional water until the original water level is acheived again. This process generally takes several times to get all the clothes saturated and the water level to stabilize. Additionally, water valves may cycle on and off several times as the machine adjusts the water temperature, even if you were running an empty washer through a cycle. Gentle cycles will use more water, as more water = less abrasive scrubbing action. Normally, using front loading machines, you will not see much if any water through the door window.

Hello there:
If your cycle does not complete or The cycle doesn't advance When the cycle should advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem: It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer. It may be a cold-water supply problem, if the washing machine fills with water, agitates, drains, and spins, but then doesn't fill with rinse water. than check the cold water supply line and the filter

you might have a damaged door lock mechanism.it might be jammed in the closed position,and should be changed

Because F04 is not a clearly defined failure, the possible cause of your situation is a timer, a lid switch, a belt, a drive motor, or an agitator.

Solution, before proceeding watch your timer (does it follows its cycle?) if no replace timer, if yes, then check your lid switch replace if defective, check your belt if it broken or worn replace it, check your drive motor for functionality, and check your agitator--your agitator can become worn, strip out the spline that allows it to properly grip the shaft.

Can u help? Have same problem

check to see if your drain hose is too far down in the stand pipe this will siphon water out as it fills.

a 90* wash will fill mainly with hot water / a 40* wash will fill mainly with cold water, this is normal action, rinses fill up with cold water only

is this what you are describing, if so thats normal, especially if its doing the job correctly
