Jeff H Moscow , ID April 17, 2015 Brushes wore out on motor Had to install a new motor. Would have rather just put in new brushes, but no one sells brushes for that motor. Good price for the motor, fast shipping, and my washer runs like new. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers, Screwdrivers, Socket Set
Nicholaos G Astoria , NY December 21, 2015 Appliance: Frigidaire Washer FWT449GFS0 Noise when spinning After I heard noise that I assumed was the bearings in motor, I ordered and replaced motor which was easy to install but hard to get to in my situation because my washer is setup as a top & bottom and was custom installed in a hard to get corner. Once completed it runs as silent as if it was original. Mind you my washer is dated 1998 and in its 18 years I have only had to replace pump 2 times because of the extensive dog hair it has to deal with which cause a leak in the seal and the shocks once. It's an awesome washing machine and yet in a few years I will want an updated model that can hold a bigger load. Read More...
