Cg May 05, 2014 for Model Number GTR1040AS0 The washer drum starts to turn and stops during agitation and spin cycles. The wash fill and drain cycles operate properly. Is it possible that the motor control board could be at fault?
1 Answer CG, With the units drum starting and stopping, the issue would most likely be caused by the speed control board being faulty. Read More...
Emily March 07, 2014 for Model Number GLTF1670ASO My washer stopped working after shaking violently due to a heavy load. I checked the belt and it is intact. I found a broken shock absorber but that does not explain why the washer lights will no longer turn on or cycles will not start. My first guess is the shaking may have broken the door latch...any other suggestions if that doesn't fix it? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Emily, You need to open the unit and check for any damage to the wiring harness. Since a shock broke, there is a good chance that some wiring has been pulled loose. Read More...
Gary C. February 23, 2014 for Model Number LTF530ds0 I have a Frigidaire front loader washing, model LTF530ds0. Fills, drains when I manually move the knob forward. Does not control knob does not automatically advance nor does the drum agitate or spin. I have been told the speed controller needs replacing, but I see in other posts that you recommend the timer. Can you advise? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Gary, The timer motor gets its neutral through contacts 6 to 6T. This contact should be checked through the timer at the pins. If it reads open during the cycle, the contacts are burned and the timer 137394000 will require replacement. If there is electrical contact through 6 to 6T, the issue is more likely the speed controller 134149220. Read More...
Mark January 24, 2014 for Model Number kenmore 417 washer Washer fills and drains, but will not spin or agitate on any cycle. Drum turns freely in both directions. Belt is in good shape. Motor doesn't seem to be running at all. All wiring connections seem to be intact. Door lock engages. Do I need to replace the board #134058400?
1 Answer Mark, You would want to check the speed control board to see if it is getting power when the unit is supposed to be in the agitate or spin mode. If there is no power going to the speed control then it will either be a wiring issue or main control/timer issue (based on model). If there is power then most likely it will be the speed controller assembly 134149220. Read More...
Jose November 20, 2013 for Model Number 417.43042200 My washer does everything up until the final spin cycle motor is running slow but not spinning machine.
1 Answer Hello Jose. Make sure the pump is not clogged and the door lock assembly is good on the unit. Either will cause the issue you are having. Read More...
David October 27, 2013 for Model Number 417.4314220 My washer does everything up until the final spin cycle. Motor is running but not spinning machine.
1 Answer Hello David. If the motor is running, but the unit is not spinning fast enough, you will need to check the pump and the door lock assembly. Either can cause the issue you are having with the unit. Read More...
Andy October 06, 2013 for Model Number GLTF1570FS0 The timer on our Frigidaire washer does not advance without moving it manually. We can make the washer fill and drain by moving the timer manually but doing so will not make the washer agitate or spin. I am considering replacing a control unit P/N 134149220. Am I on the right track? What could I check before buying this part? Thanks.
1 Answer Andy, The speed control would most likely not be the cause of the unit timer not advancing. The Timer would be the most likely cause. Read More...
Martin September 22, 2013 I have a Kenmore front loader washing machine (970-C44102-10) that have a bad motor controller (134393900). I have weld twice a thermistor (NTC 2,5) at the back of the board and changed also a capacitor (400V, 1uf). The last repair last one week. What is causing this thermistor to always unweld?? What part? I fear to change the motor controler and the new thermistor will be burned within one week... What do I have to ckeck now? Thanks, Martin
1 Answer Martin, You will want to check the voltage coming to the machine and to the speed control board as this would be caused by an overvoltage issue. Read More...

Levi March 26, 2013 for Model Number 417.43142300 My washer works normally till the rinse and final spin cycle. It speeds up very fast even when set on slow. Yesterday it was sounding like a jets engine and suddenly it made a loud bang and heavy scraping. Can you please help!
1 Answer Levi, It sounds like the bearings on unit have gone out due to the jet engine sound and the loud bang and heavy scraping noise you heard. The Speed of the motor would be caused by the speed control 134149220. On the bearings you would need to get outer rear tub 131525500. Read More...
