I have a frigidare affinity front load washer the drum seems very loose is this normal?

from under neth?

Hello gen0313 - From what you are describing it sounds like the unit could possibly have a broken shock/bearing or damaged tub. A certified technician will need to accurately diagnosis the bearing and pulling system behind the drum for repairs.

Hello zabbster - Typically the DR or DO error code indicates that the door switch is not closed. Make sure that the door lock is completely closed. If the door is closed, make sure the door latch is not broken. If the latch is broken, you may possibly need to replace the door lock switch.

There is no lint trap on this washer. There is a filter in the hose that goes from the tub to the pump that occasionally will get plugged with lint, but it is not designed to be regularly cleaned. During normal usage, the lint is designed to be pumped out with the water.

Clean the cold water filter on the back, then try again. This should work. Mine was doing the same thing and the repairman had no idea what it meant.

If you open the top of the washer , there is a "tech" sheet in there to tell you how to reset the error codes.

My washer started this. Then stopped spinning. Now it will not even wash a load. It stops mid-cycle. The ER 20 means that something is not draining right. We checked all of the tubes leading to the pump. Nothing was clogged. The technition seems to think it is a motor controller error.

are you using he detergent?. if what you see on floor is pure detergent then look at dispenser housing for cracks. remove drawer, open, depress lever in back and pull out, to see inside housing. If the screw or mounting for the loose paddle (baffle) broke and slammed housing in some way then you would also have a hole in the tub. You can easily remove top, 3 screws in back to check this. If tub is broke, buy new machine!
baffles are usually attached with screws from outside basket, requiring removal from tub

the loose vane cant affect leaking first open the drawer look on the back Left side of the drawer push down on the tab and remove the drawer take it apart and clean it well top and bottom clean the inside of the drawer hsg and look for cracks on the top panel remove the two screws at the back and remove the panel reassemble the drawer assembly put detergent in it start the washer take a flashlight and look for leaks

The usual factory warrenty periord on the Frigidare Affinity washer is 1 Year from date of purchase. You can find your Model number and serial number of your washer on the inside of the door. It is on a white label towards the bottom of the dorr.
