Larry S December 31, 2014 for Model Number GLTF2940ES0 Will not go into spin cycle. When timer gets to spin cycle it beeps screen goes blank like it is done.
1 Answer Larry, You will want to put the unit into a diagnostic mode and see if there are any error codes stored. The tech sheet would be located inside the unit to do this. The most common and most likely cause for this would be a door lock issue. Read More...
Chriss December 13, 2014 for Model Number Frigidaire washer LTF2940ES3 The washer stops in the middle of the cycle. I have done the diagnostic tests on the washer tech data sheet and everything works fine with the last error code showing as E59 (No tacho signal for 3 seconds.). I have checked the belt (no problem), checked for anything down the drain holes in the agitator and anything clogging the drain (nothing), checked the resistance on the motor (all measures within specs), checked the door lock switch (resistance = 1365 ohms) and have replaced the motor speed control board (didn't solve problem). It seems like everything is working and it works on a test run (just running the drain/spin cycle), but once I try a regular cycle it will get to a point when the washer needs to agitate or spin and it will stop. Then I unplug it, get the door to unlock and open and try to spin the agitator and it will feel locked, like something is keeping it from moving. If I keep trying to move it back and forth I can eventually get it to 'break free' and then it will move freely and I can get the drain/spin cycle to work as usual. The I try a cycle and it all starts all over again. Only thing I can think of is that it is the mail control board??
1 Answer Chris, If the drum of the unit will not move freely when this is occurring then the main control board would have nothing to do with the issue. This would be more likely that the drum bearings are seizing up. If the drum is moving freely then the main control board would be the most likely cause. Read More...
John November 30, 2014 for Model Number Frigidaire ATF7000EE0 The washer stops at 6 minutes with no high speed spin. It has error code E47. The door lock led lights and I can hear the lock engage and disengage I've checked the wax motor on the door latch with an ohm meter and it reads 1490. I've checked for loose wires. I can go into diagnostic test number 6 and the drum will go into high spin. What would be my next step or does that narrow it down to the part to be replaced? Thanks John
1 Answer Hello John. It sounds like the board is not getting the signal for the door lock. If not, it will not reach high speed spin, but will in diagnostics. It sounds like the door lock or wiring harness is bad. Read More...
Carlos J November 21, 2014 for Model Number GLTF2940FS The machine was showing err 3 times beep beep beep. Then if any button is pressed the only action I saw is the water temperature change. Then if I unplug the machine for about 12 hours and the plug it again, I push start and the machine makes the normal cycle. If I press any other button different than start the machine starts to change the water temperature selection and the doesnt matter what key you push or turn the knob the machine still stuck on the temperature selection.
1 Answer Carlos, Based on the information provided it sounds like the issue will be caused by a faulty main control board which is part number 137006000. Read More...
Kenny November 14, 2014 for Model Number GLTF2940FE1 Error Code E11 (takes too long to fill). The symptoms: when washing on any cycle, the washer stops at random times and displays "Err". If I start it again it will wash for another display minute (which takes a couple of actual minutes). Then it pretty much stops until I press the button to start it again. The washer door switch has been replaced but has not helped.
1 Answer Kenny, You will want to check the following to repair the unit. 1. Is the incoming water fl ow normal? Yes, go to step (4). No, go to step (2). 2. Are the incoming water faucets turned on? No, turn water faucets on. Yes, go to step (3). 3. Is the incoming water pressure above (30) psi? No, have customer correct pressure problem. Yes, check for kinked or blocked incoming water hoses, clean incoming water screens. If problem still remains, replace the water inlet valve assembly. 4. Does the fi ll water continue to enter the washer? Yes, go to step (5) no, go to step (6). 5. Remove power from washer. Did the water fi ll stop? Yes, go to step (6). No, replace the inlet valve assembly. 6. For Better models, check the electronic pressure sensor. For Good models, check the pressure switch. Pressure sensor checks good. Go to step (7). Pressure sensor checks incorrect. Replace pressure sensor. 7. Replace the Main Control Board. Read More...
Chrissy October 19, 2014 for Model Number GLTF2940FS0 It runs throughout wash cycle fine but gets to the spin cycle and shuts down. It does one loop and drains a small amount of water. When it stops all but one light goes out.
1 Answer Chrissy, You will want to put this unit through the diagnostic mode per the tech sheet located inside the unit. While in the diagnostic check to see if there are any stored error codes which will give you an idea of where you want to test. Read More...
Badwasher September 09, 2014 for Model Number GLTF2940FS2 My washer goes through all the steps but stops at spin. This behavior is intermittent. I get the error code E43. The data sheet has a test (no. 7) and the diagnosis from that test points to control board sometimes and the door lock switch sometimes - not the same result every time. I replaced the door lock switch, didn't help. I also replaced the control board - the spin works, but other functions are messed up - e-g "pause/cancel" starts the wash cycle instead of "start" and the wash cycle choices (delicate/drain and spin/quick .. etc) are not sensed correctly. When I put back the original control board, everything worked fine for a few days, but back to the same no-spin problem. Can you please tell me what to do next ?
1 Answer BadWasher, Recheck the J3 and J2 harness and wires between the control board and door latch assembly. If all's Ok reorder another control board 137006000 and handle it carefully. It sounds like you received a defective or mispackaged part previously. Read More...
Leigh September 07, 2014 for Model Number GLTF2940ES The washing machine will not go into the spin cycle. I checked the manual, it said if no power to pump replace pump, I replaced the pump, water is pumped fine from the drum, but will not go into spin cycle.
1 Answer Hello Leigh. You need to check the door lock assembly 131763256 and see if it is bad and needs to be replaced on the unit. 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...

Mark June 25, 2014 for Model Number LTF2940ee0 Washer stopped with one minute left and never progressed any further. I unplugged it for a few days and it worked for a whole cycle but stopped again with one minute. I got an error code of e56. I replaced the control board that is located beside the motor. After doing that, in diagnostic mode, it am getting E5E error now. All cables seems to be fine, but will check again. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Mark, This is what the tech sheet says to do in the case of the E5E code. This is the fault code for a High motor current. 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...
