Nicole November 20, 2013 for Model Number Ftfb4000gs1 Ftfb4000gs1... Initially, washer would not drain. Replaced the drain pump which initially solved that problem. Then washer began to not advance through cycles. Diagnostic said to replace door lock switch so I did. Same issue. Now it will not drain or advance. What's my next step? Control board?
1 Answer Hello Nicole. Yes, it sounds like the control board is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Mike October 26, 2013 for Model Number Frigidaire FTF2140FS0FS Our control board has been flakey for awhile. It will randomly start blinking lights and making noises. Still works, but getting toucher lately was stuck on 8hr delay for a bit today. Opened the washer and found this on the label on the control board cover. Electrolux Home Products - 134667500 (also WFHG8000-0730-0116C) Is this compatible with the AP4354654? They look the same, just want to make sure before I buy. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Mike, This sounds like you may have buttons sticking. If there have been any spills on the unit such as liquid detergent or fabric softener, this can cause the issue as well as damage from the unit being transported or moved improperly. You will need to examine the unit for the possible cause by looking for cracks or any sticky substance around the buttons. If you find a substance, you can normally disassemble and clean the area with rubbing alcohol and reassemble to correct the issue. If any cracks or damage is located around the buttons, the damaged part will require replacement. If nothing is obvious, you could have a support screw missing from the board or panel. This would have to be corrected to hold the panel and control in the correct position to prevent the issue. If the control requires replacement, you will have to use the 137005000NH. Read More...
Ben September 12, 2013 for Model Number CFW8000GW When not in use the pump runs constantly until the washer is unplugged. There are no lights on. When you turn on the washer and it try's to fill with water it can't because the pump runs and pumps the water out. When you turn the washer off the pump still runs. What could be the cause of this?
1 Answer Ben, You will want to check the wiring from the pump to the control board and look for broken or damaged wiring. If the wiring checks ok then the issue would be with the control board sending power to the pump when it is not calling for it. Read More...
Kevin August 22, 2013 for Model Number CFW4000FW1 The washer would not start the water when the knob was set to Heavy load. When set to Normal it functioned correctly. Just recently BOTH Heavy and Normal load setting do not work. The door locks but no water flows. I did try permanent press setting and that still runs through its cycle. Would this point to the control board (137005000) as the issue?
1 Answer Hello Kevin. If some cycles work and others do not, you will need to order and replace the control board 137005000NH on the unit. Read More...
Perry June 30, 2013 for Model Number Ftf2140fs1 I ran all my codes and diagnostics and came up with a code 56. I Checked my motor with a meter as per test 11-3 and test 12-3 and the motor checks out. Could I be getting a false code? Ready to replace control board . Is there a test to check the control board before I do that?
1 Answer Perry, Since the motor checked ok when you did the checks on the windings then you would want to replace the speed control board 134743500. Read More...
Josh May 16, 2013 for Model Number ftf2140es1 My washinging machine is having a couple issues. When the wash cycle finishes, the clothes are still soaking wet. I change the cycle to the drian/spin which would normally drian the water and do another complete spin cycle to get the water out. The machine starts up normally and begins to drian the water, but then it just sits ther for a while and does nothing. After about 15 minutes or so, the drum will turn, very slowly, in one direction, stop, then do the same in the opposite direction. It does this about 4-6 times, then the cycle signal goes off as if it were done, but the clothes are still soaking wet because it never spun the way it would normally. In addition to that, every so often, no matter which actual wash cycle you choose, it will run through and signal that it's done. I will go out a short time later and when I open the door a bunch of water comes pouring out. Also there are times when the machine is empty and has had nothing in it for a day or so, and when I open it to put clothes in, it will be full of water, which then comes pouring out on to the floor. I changed the main control board out, and tried to run the drain/spin cycle to get all the wet towles I had in there rung out so that I can dry them, but it continues to do the same thing. I have only had the board switched out for a day, so I don't know if putting a new board in has helped the water issuse because that only happens every now and again. I would say the water issue happens about every 15 loads or so. Thank you for any help you can provide.
1 Answer Josh, Based on your post information, you'll need to check a few things. Replace the water inlet valve 134371220. There shouldn't be any water in the tub, when the machine is in the off position. Check the water level pressure switch and hose 134528801 disconnect the hose from the switch and blow in the end of the hose, this should clear any debris or residue from the hose. If the pressure switch doesn't reset to the "empty" position, the washer will not spin. Also check that the door is locked, and remains locked the whole cycle, and the washer drains the water in approximately 60 seconds or less. Read More...
Kp May 10, 2013 for Model Number FTF2140FS1 Washer starts to fill for 1 second, stops, and spin light comes on.
1 Answer Hello KP. Check and make sure all the wiring connections are good on the unit. If so, then it sounds like the control board is bad on the unit. Also, make sure none of the buttons are sticking on the unit as well. Read More...
Mark April 02, 2013 for Model Number FTF2140ES0 I have a frigidaire washer model:FTF2140ES0. Everytime I press start usually water starts to fill up the machine but not anymore , I am assuming the control board is the problem. I just want a confirmation that this really is the problem. Thank you
1 Answer Mark, You will need to check the pressure hose for being clogged and check to make sure that it does not have any punctures that would not allow it to keep the pressure for the water level. Also check the air dome for clogs. Read More...
George R March 24, 2013 for Model Number LTF2140FS2 No action, no LESs on, no noise, no smell. Previous problem was LEDs would flash and beep for no reason. Now, no nothing.
1 Answer George, Aside from check the wiring and make sure that your getting 120 vac to the control board, then it would appear that your control board 137005000NH is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Al March 16, 2013 GE front load washer, would not spin all other cycles except normal. Now it seems to only work intermittently in that mode as well. Control board issue? It does not attempt to spin. Pump comes on, shuts off, no spinning, a slight tumble and then the machine shuts down.
1 Answer Hello Al, This will be one of three things: (1) A poor electrical connection at the motor, speed controller, or main board, (2) A bad Speed controller, (motor control board), or (3) A bad motor. The most common cause would be the speed controller, (motor control board). I would have included part numbers but, the specific part numbers cannot be obtained for sure without a model number off of the units' I.D. tag. Read More...
