Customer Questions and Answers for Control by Frigidaire

Hello Dave, There seems to be some controversy over the fault codes. Some are claiming it is the fault of the individual reading the codes and others say it is the fault code list being wrong from the manufacturer. Regardless of who is at fault, the problem seems to be that while the fault code says to replace the control board, the door lock assembly should be tested to make sure it isn't the cause of the issue. If it tests out good, the control board in the bottom of the machine which is referred to by Frigidaire as the speed controller, is the board that should be replaced. As I said, the control board should not be replaced until the cheaper part is tested. Testing it is as follows: Access the door lock assembly and measure the resistance of the wax motor on the assembly. You will need a resistance meter to test it. If it reads 1500 ohms, give or take 10%, then its fine, and the problem would be the speed controller, (control board in the bottom of the unit).
