Ann April 15, 2014 for Model Number Frigidaire FAFS4272LW-WW My Washer is stating Door open after the start button is pushed. The door is closed. I had the same issue on my Frigidaire dryer and they replaced the control board because after replacing the door latch it still stated door open. Please recommend the best course of action.
Ricky M February 16, 2014 for Model Number model# FAFS4272LWO has a error code: E9F MB-FCV Comm. Can you tell me what this code means please?
1 Answer Hello Ricky. Communication protocol. Communication problem. Check the wiring between the main control board and the motor control board. Wiring bad, correct wiring problem. Wiring good, replace the main control board. If the problem is not corrected, replace the motor control board. Read More...
Debbie January 11, 2014 for Model Number FAFS4272LWO My washer stops during the wash cycle with an error message 'no water'. Have to hit cancel & either wash the clothes again or choose rinse & spin. Also, the fabric softener dispenser fills up with water & doesn't empty into the washer.
1 Answer Debbie, It sounds like the unit may be stopping at the rinse cycle and you may want to check to see if there is something caught in the screen of the water valve. Also check the pressure hose to make sure that it does not have any holes in it that may cause the pressure switch to think that there is no water in the unit. For the dispenser you will want to check to see if the ports above the fabric softner are not clogged and make sure that the drawer is clean with no clogs. Read More...
Bart December 19, 2012 for Model Number FAFS4272LW0 The washer is in the garage. Does the cold temperature affect the machine? Because one night the washer started beeping. Is there a certain room temperature the washer needs to be under?
1 Answer Hello Bart, It is a possibility that the cold weather could affect the operation of the unit. Could cause belts to slip, if there is a transmission with oild it could cause the oil to thicken and cause noise til it thinned back out. The control unit could potentially be affected by extreme cold. There is no set recommendation from the manufacturer about the temperature that the unit should be in but the best scenario is anything above 40 degrees. Read More...
Bobby December 13, 2012 for Model Number FAFS4272LWO I have a code on my frigidaire washer that says E 58. Is this the part I need to fix it?
1 Answer Hello Bobby. Test: 1. Remove the belt from the motor and spin the motor pulley. Does the motor spin free? No. Replace the motor. Yes. Go to step (3). 2. Spin the tub pulley. Does the tub spin free? No. Check the tub bearings. Yes. Go to step (3). 3. Disconnect the plug from the motor and measure the resistance of the windings (pin 1 to pin 2, pin 1 to pin 3, pin 2 to pin 3). All readings should be between 4 and 6 Ohms. If the readings are correct, replace the speed control board. If the readings are incorrect, replace the motor. Read More...
Bobby December 12, 2012 for Model Number FAFS4272LWO My front load washer quit working and has an error code on it that says E58. When I noticed it the clothes were not run through its spin cycle and now the washer won't even let me set it to anything at all. Is this the part I need?
1 Answer Hello Bobby, The main control 134958213 may be the part you need, but I always check for "voltage in and voltage out". If you have voltage into a control component and no voltage out of that control component, that component is bad. This can quickly be done with a voltage indicator TJMA-49858A. You should unplug the unit for 2 minutes to see if the control will reset to factory default. The fault code indicates a high current situation in the motor so you should check the resistance in the motor with a test meter as per specifications on the tech sheet. In light of the fault code given, it is more likely that you will need the motor control board or the motor. Of course, you should make sure the tub will turn freely by hand first since an item between the tubs will cause a high current situation. There will be a tech sheet in an envelope in the base of the machine that will guide you through the repair. Let us know if we can assist you further. Read More...
