Frigidaire 134149220 Washer Motor Speed Controller Assembly OEM Part

We love our Frigidaire front-loader workhorse -- it can handle quilts, jeans, and all the pet blankets and towels we can stuff into it. But when it stopped going into the final spin cycle, and left a load of sopping wet blankets, we were afraid we would have to pony up the $2k for a new heavy-duty machine. Fortunately, the internet revealed the likely cause of the problem, where to get the new part, and how to install it. About the only thing we didn't find right away was where to recycle the old board, but I think we have a local place for that. I can't recommend this site enough: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/642885/ The fix was as simple as pulling out the washer (actually, this was the hardest part because the washer and dryer are stacked), then turning off the power and the water to the units, disconnecting the water supply hoses, and removing the back panel for the machine. Then, all that remained was unplugging the old board, taking out two more screws, plugging in the new one and screwing that into place, and replacing the panel on the back, re-connecting the hoses and turning on the water and power, and running a test load to make sure everything was working before pushing it back into place. While I had everything open, I checked the suction pump and the drain hose for clogs and leaks, but there were no issues. Everything is fine now. We're only out about $160 for the part plus the two-day shipping, but it's a lot cheaper than a new machine. My husband is very pleased, since there was almost no interruption in the flow of laundry, and I saved us the price, and the pain, of a new washing machine. Although I am the mechnicly-minded person in our household, except for the physical moving of the machines, a child could do this.

I determined that it was most likely the motor or the speed control board, but had read that the motors are less likely to fail, so figured I would try the speed control board first. 1. Unplug the washer 2. Turn off both of the water supply line valves (if you don't do this water will get everywhere) 3. Disconnect the water supply lines from the washer with a pair of channel lock pliers (hold a towel or rag underneath the connection when you unscrew to catch the residual water) 4. Remove all the black, Phillips head screws that were holding the metal back 5. Lift off the back and put it aside The speed control board is to the lower left when looking into the back of the machine. 6. Disconnect the two plugs to the board 7. Unscrew the two Phillips head screws holding the board down and lift it out (there is a small tang that the front that slides into on the base) Reverse the steps 8. Slide the tang of the board into the hole and attach the two Phillips head screws 9. Attach the two plugs to the board 10. Put the metal back in place with black, Phillips head screws 11. Connect the water supply lines (hot to the connection by the H stamped in the metal back and cold to the C) 12. Turn on the water supply valves (check to make sure there are no leaks) 13. Plug machine into wall 14. Turn on the washer and hopefully watch the tub spin and agitate.

Followed schematic troubleshooting supplied with unit. Found blown fuse on speed controller. Replaced fuse and it immediately blew again. Measured board resistance and motor resistance per schematics. Determined the speed controller was the problem. Ordered and replaced.

Took the back off unplugged the wires r and r the controler

Super easy fix! After unplugging the laundry machine, just screwed off the back, screwed out the speed controller assembly (only 2 screws!), and screwed the new one back in. Plugged the machine back and tested it empty: worked like a charm!
