Joel S Derry , NH January 26, 2016 Odor and mold Our washing machine door boot seal was getting moldy and causing odor problems. Cleaning tablets and bleach weren't helping so it was time to be replaced. While I had the top and front off I changed all the hoses that could be collecting soap scum and mold, all other wetted parts were removed and washed. The video on the door boot seal, and inlet valve assembly were extremely helpful in understanding how these parts are removed and reassembled. Although the door boot seal is the most visible part that could show mold, the drain hose and drain pump to drum hose were by far the dirtiest, and must be washed or replaced if trying to eliminate smells. The whole project took me 3-4 hours to complete (I have done washing machine repairs before), but the machine runs and smells like new. Note: The included spring retainer tools were extremely helpful when putting the door boot seal back together.

Cathy K North Kingstown , RI October 02, 2015 Frigidaire washer leaking from bottom After removing the bottom panel, I found that the machine was leaking from a torn drain hose (or more commonly referred to as the "boot"). I was able to easily remove the three clamps that held the hose in place and found the hose had collected many coins over time that were left in clothes! I immediately looked up the part at Applicance Parts Pros and easily found the part that I was looking for (all I needed to supply was the Make and Model No.). I ordered the part on a Sunday night and received it early Tuesday morning.I am always amazed at how quickly Appliance Parts Pro fills the order. Tuesday afternoon I was installing the part and back in laundry business. A job that would have cost me over $150.00, I was able to repair in less tat 30 mins. Thank You Appliance Parts Pro!!!! You are the best! Cathy, North Kingstown, RI Read More... 24 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Adjustable Wrench, Screwdrivers
Levi G Wytheville , VA March 06, 2017 Appliance: Frigidaire Washer ATF7000ES0 Wouldn't spin at first then no activity at all e23 code We had a power surge that tripped the washer breaker. It showed an E23 error code so I replaced the main control board (part number AP4362398.) All washer activity back to normal except it still wouldn't spin and still had E23 code. I removed the tub to pump hose (part number AP3837322) to find all sorts of goodies inside such as underwires from bras, a quarter, nickel, penny, and dime stacked perfectly on top of each other inside the filter, and tangled yarn from a rug. Ended up replacing the tub to pump hose since the underwire from the bras punctured the hose in several places. Washed several loads and so far so good.
