Bernie January 30, 2020 for Model Number LTF2140FS1 Washing machine will not go into high speed spin with clothes in the drum, however when the drum is empty it will go into high speed spin. Ordered a motor and will replace the drive belt.
1 Answer Bernie, It sounds likely that the motor is weak and would need to be replaced for this issue. Read More...
John March 13, 2019 for Model Number 417.44152400 kenmore/frigidaire 417.44152400 Front load washer. Does not agitate or spin. Fills and drains ok. I can hear what sounds like a relay click at the point where agitation should begin. Belt is ok. Door lock seems to be ok. What is the best way to determine if the problem is the motor control board or the motor
1 Answer John, The best option would be to access the tech sheet inside the unit and run a service diagnostic and check for error codes. If there are any error codes this will lead you to what may be defective. Read More...
Aj July 23, 2018 for Model Number FAFW3801LW3 Machine wouldn't turn off (clothes did ultimately wash and spin); drum was stopped but machine just whined and smelled like perhaps an electrical problem. Day later tried to wash but no action, just hum. Since no water would enter washer, I replaced the water inlet valve. Started another load however about 1/3 of the way through the wash, water leaked from under the machine. The cycle completed as normal except for leaking. (not coming from hoses...) Now I have Error code E52. Could the problem actually be the drive motor or do you think it's the water pump? What is the best way to determine where the leak is?
1 Answer AJ, the error code E52 is a problem with the motor, check the basket to see if it spins freely and make sure it does not have any play which would mean the bearings are bad. If you can, take the top of the washer off and watch it run, you can possibly see where the water is leaking from with the top off. Read More...
Broderp December 22, 2017 for Model Number FWFB9200ES0 Washer shows ER 59 stored in memory. The washer was not draining, and this turned out to be a bad pump. I replaced the pump. It now drains properly. However the washer still will not go into the final spin. The washer normally turns at a slow rpm in both directions before engaging the final spin. What it does now is it seems like it can't turn the tub. It try's to turn in the slow rpm, but can not usually make one revolution let alone the high speed spin. When it times out the cloths are still very wet. However, when I lighten the load, by taking out 1/2 the cloths or more the washer completes just fine and I do get the high speed final spin like normal. How is the load playing a factor on this? I thought the belt could be slipping, but the motor would still spin and the control board would still get the tach signal. Parts are fairly expensive to guess at and I can't have the unit down. It's also in a tight space where access is very difficult. Any advise would be appreciated.
1 Answer Broderp, The E59 is a tach error no signal received. You will want to do the following, remove the belt from the motor and spin the motor pulley, does the motor spin free?, No then replace the motor, if yes then disconnect the plug from the drive motor and measure the resistance between pins 4 and 5 in the motor. If the meter reads other than between 105 and 130 ohms then replace the motor. If the reading is betwen 105 and 130 then go to next step. 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 then replace the speed control and if incorrect replace the motor. Also spin the tub pulley and if it does not spin freely then the bearings would be the issue.

Donnie Robinson September 13, 2017 for Model Number Frigidaire Affinity front load washer When washer in high spin cycle, it sounds like a jet engine sound. This is the only issue. Is this normal sound. I am purchasing used one from someone and when I tested it out, I heard this sound.

Stacy S. March 02, 2017 for Model Number LTF2140ES3 Frigidaire Front Loading Washer At first my washer was pausing/stopping on the rinse cycle which seemed to be only on heavier/larger loads.Then I replaced the door lock assembly. But just before I replaced the assembly the washer started to pause/stop on the wash cycle and again it seems to be on larger/heavier loads only. I did the check and it seems to be an error code of 56. When the machine would stop/pause on either the rinse or wash cycles I would unplug it and wait an hour or more and try again with removing half the load and it would do a complete cycle. Could the motor be going bad since the washer seems to not work correctly on larger loads? Could the larger loads be putting to much stress on the motor. When the machine would stop on the wash and rinse cycles I could hear a slight humming/buzzing noise. Now even when the machine does a complete cycle with a smaller load I can hear that same slight buzzing/humming sound while it is on and working. Please help!! Thank you Stacy
1 Answer Stacy, It does sound like the motor could be weak and causing this issue to occur. Read More...
Victoria September 28, 2016 for Model Number ATF6000FS0 Everything works properly on my Frigidaire Affinity Front Load aside from a Loud humming/vibration when in the high speed spin cycle/drain is about to start, and throughout the cycle. What could this be?
1 Answer Hello Victoria, You will need to replace the spin bearings by replacing the outer tub/seal and bearing assembly 134507120. Read More...
Alan May 17, 2016 for Model Number ATF6000FS0 I have a loud growling noise whenever the motor is to engage. This happens in the agitate cycle or the spin cycle. Plus, the speed of the spin cycles is very slow. The rear bearing is good, the belt is good, and the noise begins before the motor spins. Does this sound like the motor control board?
1 Answer Hello Alan. If the bearing is good, you will need to replace the motor on the unit. It does not sound like the board. Read More...
