I HAVE A FRIGIDAIRE FRONT LOAD WASHER MODEL GLTF2940ES3, THIS WASHER WON'T SPIN ON SPIN SETTING, I SET IT ON DRAIN AND SPIN, IT WILL DRAIN AND THE TUB WILL TURN BACK AND FORTH A FEW TIMES, AND THEN THE DONE LIGHT WILL COME ON, BUT NO SPIN, I WOULD HAVE SUSPECTED THE DOOR SWITCH, BUT THE DOOR LOCK LIGHT IS ON ANT THE DRUM WILL TURN BACK AND FORTH LIKE IT IS RINSING OR WASHING.

There could possible be a dead spot in your control module. The module uses a series of gears driven by a timer to send electrical signal to the different components of your washer. If a gear loses a tooth or the timer is running sporadically this could cause the drive motor or capacitors to recieve electrical pulses in the wrong order, leading to the unusual behavior.

I too had the same problem, I closed the soap tray and a magnet popped out and got stuck to the door. Same problem with it acting like it was going to start and then beeped. This is where the magnet goes, just stick it back in, its held in with pressure (barely) :)

I took the whole control panel off to locate the magnetic reed switch, then just reverse engineered where the magnet is supposed to go on the soap drawer.

Don't have much experience on Frigidaire. Is the motor a brush type, capacitor type or one of those new DC types? If it's got brushes and they are ok, then I would say your armature is up the creek. If it's a capacitor type (unlikely) then the capacitor is most likely duff. If it's the new DC type it could be a lot of things, most likely the module which breaksdown and passes an AC component in the motor supply which make the motor tremble but not rotate

It appears your timer/main controller/CCU has failed in this instance.

For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.
