Drew February 09, 2015 Hello. I have a fridgidaire affinity washer that's about 4 years old. Whenever I plug it in the system will go right into drain me saying 3 minutes but not ever changing. I can turn off. Set to a mode then hit start and it gites right back. Clicking sounds in door and control area heard. Have done factory reset and won't let me enter diagnostic mode to check codes. Put in new door lock and then new control board. Still same problem. Repair man came out and couldn't determine. Said to just repair main contol board and that could be it. About to go old school and buy top load with no computers. Help? ??
1 Answer Hello Drew, Blow through the pressure hose and make sure it is not clogged. Also, make sure the pressure switch is good. If it senses a full tub, it will go into drain mode to remove the water. We will need your model number to help you more with this. Please call 1-877-477-7278 or post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Oscar February 04, 2015 for Model Number GLTF2940FEO Front load washer would not cycle through completely. It shows error E62, which is not listed on my error code manual. I have to unplug and plug it many times to complete the wash cycle if I'm lucky. Other times I have to wait the next day.
1 Answer Oscar, With a error code that is not listed for your model coming up, this issue would be caused by a faulty control board. The part number for the control board is [AP2891780]. Read More...
Keith January 28, 2015 for Model Number FAFW3511KWO Washer would not work, got a e59 code. followed all test procedures and everything checked OK. Replaced speed control board as per test. Washer worked for 3 washings and than quit working. E59 code is back again. Also tub turns 1/2 turn one way and jams, turns 1/2 turn the other way and jams. Will turn freely if you force it around. Cleaned out the trap by pump, found lots of trash. HELP. Is something jamed between the tub and tub housing causing the speed control to burn up ?
1 Answer Keith, As far as something being jammed between the inner and outer tub, this would be something that you would need to check by pulling the tub. The other thing would be to check the motor and make sure that it is good and recheck the motor control. If all checks ok then the main control would be the issue. Read More...
Mark January 22, 2015 for Model Number LTF2940ES1 The washer will not spin. No error messages it just won't spin. I replace the door lock assemble. No change, it still will not spin. What should I try next?
1 Answer Mark, If you access the tech sheet and run a diagnostic mode it will most likely have a error code stored. Based on the door lock not correcting it would most likely be the speed control board part number 134743500 that is faulty. Read More...
Jan Ruane January 21, 2015 for Model Number ? The repairmen came and said the timer was broken that is why it was a grinding noise....we called the appliance center he represented and got new washer / dryer as that it whAt we had before stacked...it came today and when they installed it the dryer started smoking so they took appliances away.What I would like to know why couldn't the timer be fixed he said there was no parts it was to old.
1 Answer Jan, In most cases the timers are sold as a whole and not as individual parts so if the manufacturer has discontinued the part there would be no replacement that is suitable. Read More...
R M Maxfield January 17, 2015 for Model Number ATF7000FG1 My washer, when connected with new hoses, will leak around the back of the hoses going into the washer, big time. Water will not go into tub.
1 Answer RM Maxfield, You will want to make sure that the hoses that are being installed have rubber washers in them. If they do not have washers in them then they will leak. Read More...
Jeff N. January 13, 2015 for Model Number GLTF2940FS2 My washer will occasionally pump all the water out quickly and cycle normally, mostly it does not. Typically, on say 'Quick' wash, it will fill, reverse tumble wash for 5 min., and then when it tries to remove the water, the pump motor can be heard churning away, but the water is not removed. It will churn for perhaps a couple minutes, and then rest for a minute or so, and then churn for another couple minutes, rest, and repeat. It will do this 4 to 7 times, and then the door will unlock and 'Pause' will be displayed. I have been advised to check the pump and drain hose for obstructions, because apparently there can be an obstruction that can intermittently affect the ability to drain. I have also been advised that the motor control board is likely at fault, because unless the motor is jammed, it should run and run and run, it should not 'rest', and the machine should not go into 'Pause'. If I do need to replace the MCU, will I be able to access it properly while I am checking the pump and drain hose? (I don't see a repair video for MCU replacement) -- Thank you!
1 Answer Hello Jeff, If there were an issue with the motor control board the tub would not move at all so I do not believe there is an issue there. I would access the pump and check the hose between the pump and the tub assembly. Debris accumulates in there and prevents the pump from being able to evacuate the water from the tub. If debris gets into the impeller area, the impeller can separate from the pump motor shaft, causing the pump motor to run but no water to be moved so it may not be a bad idea to have a new pump 137221600 on hand before the dis-assembly to prevent having to access it a second time.

Dave January 12, 2015 for Model Number GLTF294EE0 Washer won't always do high speed spin between wash and rinse cycles. Have to manually force the rinse mode to get it to spin out. E41 code stored. Replaced door switch/latch assembly. Can not get rid of E41 code, even for a second. Left washer unplugged for 5 hours code was there as soon as it was plugged in. Tried the unplug replug in and open close door 6 times also. Code still there.
1 Answer Hello Dave. Control board thinks the door switch is open. Disconnect the plug from J2 on the control board and check for continuity between the pins in the plug. Open. Check the door strike. If good, replace the door switch assembly. Closed. Replace the control board. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
1 Answer Hello Bwltyw. It sounds like the motor is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Mark December 29, 2014 for Model Number Frigidarie LTF290ES0 On the last spin, the machine would not stop spinning. Had to stop by pushing cancel button. Now the machine won't go into the final high speed spin on any cycle. It only does a slow back and forth a few times and then wash cycle stops. Any thought on what is causing this?
1 Answer Hello Mark. First, make sure the drain pump on the unit is drain properly. If so, you will need to check the door lock assembly 131763256. If it is bad, the unit will not spin out properly. Read More...
