Joseph March 09, 2015 for Model Number glwy1343as1 Our washer is leaking I think it is at the drain pump. I check the hose they look ok. It starts to leak just as soon as the water start going into the tub.
1 Answer Joseph, You will want to take the front panel off and check to see if the leak is coming from the area above the transmission. It sounds like you may have an issue with the tub seal or a crack in the tub. Read More...
Joy L. February 16, 2015 for Model Number FWT449GFS1 My washer is making the high pitched whining noise when it begins to spin.......sounds like a jet engine taking off......sounds like a bearing or something.......any idea what it is?? And can it be fixed?? thanks for your time!
1 Answer Hello Joy, If it is a high pitched squeal, it is most likely debris in the drain pump 137108000. If the noise is lower frequency and sounds like a roar, it is more likely the spin bearing 131525500. Read More...
Pepe October 25, 2014 for Model Number FWT647GHS0 Water comes through the drain hose constantly so the machine takes a very long time to fill and then needs to stop and refill often. It doesn't come through full blast, I'm pretty sure the pump is not running, but it's bad enough that a cycle can take a few hours. I assumed there was a solenoid stuck open but I don't see one. I took the pump out and don't see anything obviously wrong but I don't see what is supposed to keep the water from draining out all the time.
1 Answer Pepe, You will want to make sure that the drain hose is not pushed down into the standpipe too far and also make sure that the standpipe is at a minimum of 29" off the floor. What is happening is that the unit is siphoning the water back out as it flows in. Read More...
Oscar June 11, 2014 for Model Number Frigidaire FWT645RHSO My washer won't drain and go into high speed spin cycle. The pump makes a loud clicking noise. Is the pump bad or is there something with the timing? The washer does step through and completes the full wash cycle but leaves the clothes fully wet and soapy.
1 Answer Hello Oscar. If the pump is clicking and does not drain, you will need to replace the drain pump 137108000 on the unit. Read More...

Randy May 24, 2014 for Model Number gLTF2940eso I have a Frigidaire washer just replaced the drain pump due to it would not spin dry, it will spin to wash the cloths wht could be the problem be
1 Answer Randy, If the unit is not spinning fast enough it is possible that the issue could be the door latch assembly not allowing it to enable the spin. Also check the drain hoses from the bottom of the tub to the standpipe to make sure that there is no obstructions. Read More...

David January 22, 2014 for Model Number Frigidair CRTF1240AS0 My washer is behaving erratically, it continuously lets water in and and the drain pump activates and pumps all the water out, where upon water is let in and again gets pumped out. This occurs throughout the wash cycle and is consuming about 100 gallons per wash. What can I do to fix this, otherwise everything is working properly.
1 Answer David, The first thing that you will want to determine is whether there is power getting to the water valve at all times during the cycle. With the washer running and once it starts to agitate or goes to a drain after filling, check to see if there is still 120 vac going to the water valve. If there is then most likely the timer contact is stuck and you would need to replace the timer 134014700. If not then the water valve 134190200 would be the issue. Read More...
1 Answer Danielle, It's not likely to be a drain pump issue WPW10276397 or washer issue at all. Your first check needs to be at the drain/stand pipe, the top of the drain pipe where the drain hose from the washer is inserted needs to be at least 38 inches high from the floor. If the pipe is not high enough, the water reaches a certain level, then will "syphon" through the tub and pump, and the wash tub won't fill. You also want to check and make sure the end of the washer drain hose is not "stuffed" into the pipe, or that there is tape or towels sealing the hose to the pipe. Read More...
