Gary October 04, 2021 for Model Number 41743142200 Kenmore front load washer Regarding my previous question, checked voltage from control panel to motor and obtained a reading of 114 volts. Could the motor be bad? If it is a bad motor control or panel control, you indicated replacements are discontinued by the manufacturer, so am I out of luck trying to repair this machine?
1 Answer Gary, If you have power to the motor then the issue will be a faulty motor that would need to be replaced. Read More...
Gary October 04, 2021 for Model Number 41743142200 Motor does not run in any dial position. Motor does turn freely, but only loud humming at control panel is heard. What's wrong?
1 Answer Gary, it would be recommended that the timer 134148500 (part has been discontinued by the manufacturer) is tested for 120VAC going to the motor control 134149220 (part has been discontinued) to identify if the failure would be in the timer or the control. If there is 120VAC going out to the control, the motor control has failed. If not, the timer has failed. Read More...
Leon September 02, 2013 for Model Number frigdaire washer FTF530FS1 My washer fills in with water and empties, but does not spin. I've checked the back of the washer and the belt seems fine, Only way if the washer spins is if i pinch the rubber belt together and the motors starts working, I did replace my belt with a new one and the same problem presists. Do i need to replace my motor?
1 Answer Leon, Based on the information provided it does sound like the motor would be the issue with the unit not operating properly for the spin cycle. Read More...
Steve May 15, 2013 for Model Number Fridgidaire FDE336RES2 My dryer makes a high-pitched squeal...not all of the time, but much of the time. I have an idea what the problem is, but what would you say?
1 Answer Steve, In most cases a dryer squealing noise for this unit would be caused by either the front drum glide or a bad rear bearing. Read More...
Steven May 10, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore 417.41052000 My washer seems to be leaking from the bottom of the tub...especially when it spins. There is a fairly steady drip coming from the bolts that seem to hold the bottom of the tub together. The water even runs down the legs of the two shocks (especially the left). Is there a gasket or something that can be replaced or would the whole tub need replacing? The drain pump is not leaking at all, by the way. Thanks, Steve
1 Answer Steven, The part number for the gasket between the 2 tubs is part number 134146100. Read More...
Steven May 09, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore front loader washing machine 417.41052000 The washer started making a somewhat loud sound when it spins. I took the water pump off and didn't find anything clogged (though there is a leak somewhere). I removed the back panel and the sound is definitely connected to when I spin the drum. I took off the belt and isolated the loud noise to when I spin the motor (not the drum). Is it safe to assume that I need a new drive motor? And is it worth it on a 13 year old machine that also has a leak (possibly bad pump?).
1 Answer Steven, For the leak you will need to check to make sure that it is not leaking from the tub, bellow, water valves or the drain pump. If the motor has a noise when you turn it then the motor is bad and would need to be replaced. Read More...

Phil January 30, 2013 for Model Number 417.43042200 When the machine starts to rotate one way and then back the other way, it most of the time stutters. I changed the computer and timer and the next thing is the motor or door sw.
1 Answer Hello Phil, You will want to make sure that the bolt holding the motor in place is tight. Check the belt for damage and if these check ok then the issue would be in the rear tub bearing. Read More...
