Because of the high spin speeds of front load washers, the doors are equipped with a latch and lock mechanism to prevent the door from being opened during the washers operation. These locks will often be actuated by a solenoid or wax motor to ensure they remain latched during the wash cycle. This model uses a two stage lock that latches the door when the load starts, and then when it is time to spin, the second lock engages to ensure the door is properly secured prior to beginning the spin. When this second lock engages, it also closes a set of switch contacts (the auxiliary door switch) telling the control board the door is closed and locked. If for some reason this switch is not closed, the washer will tumble during what would normally be the spin cycle until the entire cycle is complete.

Atiston front loading washer flashes f-11 code

Check the Motor and Drum: Sometimes, issues with the motor or drum can trigger the F-11 error. Inspect the motor and drum for obstructions or mechanical problems. It's possible that something is impeding their movement.
Verify Water Supply: Ensure that there is no issue with the water supply. If the washer doesn't fill properly during the spin cycle, it can lead to an error code. Check for water inlet valve problems or water pressure issues.
Verify Electrical Connections: Double-check all electrical connections and wiring, not just those accessible from the bottom panel. Issues with the control board or other components may not always be visible from the outside.
Sensor and Switch Inspection: Look for any faulty sensors, switches, or pressure switches that might affect the spin cycle. A malfunctioning sensor or switch can lead to the error code.
Professional Service: If you've thoroughly checked the visible components and the problem persists, it's advisable to contact a professional appliance technician who can perform a comprehensive diagnostic and identify the root cause of the issue. They may need to use specialized diagnostic tools to pinpoint the problem accurately.
The F-11 error code can sometimes be challenging to diagnose because it can result from various underlying issues. If you've exhausted your troubleshooting options and the problem persists, professional service is likely the most effective way to address the issue and get your washer back in working order.

Frigidaire front loading washer drainage

Hello - Is the washer draining or not draining? If it is not, this particular issue could be caused by a variety of reason. I would suggest trying the following steps:


1) Verify a circuit breaker isn't tripped

2) Advance the timer control dial slowly 360 degrees-

If the washer starts spinning, then that means the motor and drive belt are fine but that there is something wrong with either the timer control dial or the agitator solenoid. Call in a professional for this.

If the washer doesn't budge, then verify that the drive belt(s) is attached and not broken by removing the back panel. If the belt is broken, replace it. If it is loose, then tighten it by loosening up the bolt holding the motor and moving it on its swingarm (much like a car alternator) until there is a 1/2 to 3/4 inch deflection in the belt.
Some washers use reversing motors. It's possible the motor works on the spin cycle but not on the wash cycle. If so, call a pro.

3) Visually inspect the lid safety switch- Is it loose or cracked? If so, the washer might work intermittently, stopping at different cycles.

4) Check motor and drive belt- Remove the main access panel (usually in the back). Is the motor spinning, but the drive belt isn't? If so, then you have a drive belt problem.

Look for loose wiring connection at the motor capacitor (located beside the motor). Remove the connectors to the capacitor (one at a time), adjust connectors so they crimp the capacitor connection tabs tighter if necessary, and re-install. *Be very careful not to touch both capacitor connection tabs at the same time or you will get a good zap!*
If that doesn't help, you may have a defective motor.
Good luck!
