Susan S Pelkie , MI October 31, 2014 Appliance: Frigidaire Frg(V1) / Washer FWS445RFS0 Top loading washer would not agitate or spin h20 out after a clicking noise; the motor wouldn't engage or would start & then stop finally figured that it was the motor &/or capacitor I found your site which was most helpful. I saw on your forum, that others had replaced a motor & capacitor with + results. I was willing to spend what I thought was a reasonable amount & your guarantee was the clincher. I knew that if I called the appliance store where we had purchased the washer in 1998, it would be very expensive & even more important, it would take many days as they would have to order the part & then schedule a service call. I installed the motor & capacitor & was "back in business"!! I also have to say that your videos are "state of the art" . I really appreciate your website (fast efficient s&h) & reasonable prices & shipping.

Andrew P Newport Beach , CA December 25, 2017 Appliance: Frigidaire Frg(V1) / Laundry Center FLSG72GCS9 Burning smell and washing machine no longer worked From the smell it was pretty clear the drive motor had burnt out so I decided to replace it along with the capacitor. It made sense to replace the Idler Pulley and drive belt at the same time as these are both wear and tear items and were not too expensive. The video was excellent and helped a lot, the drive motor, belt and capacitor were simple to replace, with the far corner nut of the drive motor being the most fiddly but I have large hands and access is tight. The Idler Pulley proved to take the longest time, with the circlip a pain to remove as it was compressed by the washer and very hard to see. As I have a stackable washer/dryer I did not have the clearance to move the drum upwards. To get around this I put the unit on its side that allowed me to see and gain better access. All in all, a great job and the parts came in only 2 days with standard shipping. I can definitely recommend AppliancePartsPros.com, awesome. Thank you!

Harry M Front Royal , VA August 26, 2019 Appliance: Frigidaire Frg(V1) / Washer FWS445RFS2 Washer would not agitate nor spin out, motor jammed The parts came in 2 days. They are top quality, OEM parts. The job was quick and easy. The 20-year-old Frigidaire is "out of retirement" and working better than our 2011 GE scrap heap. I'm SO GLAD automotive engineers don't design washing machines. THANKS, APP.COM. You have my back, AGAIN!!! Coach Read More...
