Linda March 04, 2019 for Model Number FTF530FS3 I've been told by repairman that this washing machine needs a new timer. Here's the problem - On the Normal/Heavy cycle, it doesn't enter a spin cycle, thus leaving water in the tub. On the Knit cycle, I can get it to enter a spin cycle. Do you agree with his diagnosis? Thank you!
1 Answer Linda, it is very possible that the timer [137394000] is the issue. If the motor is not receiving 120VAC in the normal cycle when it is supposed to be in a spin, then the timer would certainly be a likely cause. Read More...
1 Answer Doug, You will want to check the fabric softener cup to make sure that it is not clogged. Check to make sure that the ports at the top of the dispenser is not clogged. If these check ok then it may be an issue with the main board not sending power to the dispenser when it is supposed to dispense fabric softener. Read More...
1 Answer Hello James. You will need to check for a bad drain pump or a bad door lock assembly on the unit. Read More...
Craig February 23, 2016 for Model Number FTF530FS1 Fills with water but wont spin. Makes a humming noise and motor tries to turn over but makes a "thunk" noise and nothing happens. New motor time?
1 Answer Craig, If the motor turns the drum during the agitation then the motor would most likely not be the issue. You can check the motor by checking from M1 to M2 , M2 to M3 and M1 to M3 for 2.6 ohms and check form M5 to M6 for 184 ohms. All of these will have a 7% variation. If this checks ok then it could be a bad speed control board that is the issue. Read More...

Paul July 01, 2014 for Model Number FTF530FS1 Hi, The cycle selector knob does not engage the cycle knob (timer knob bezel) to select a specific wash cycle. Both the timer knob and timer knob bezel have been replaced. Any suggestions? Thank you. Paul
1 Answer Hello Paul. If both are new and it will not advance, you will need to replace the timer on the unit. Read More...
Cheryl June 08, 2014 for Model Number LTF530FSO Frigidaire Washer Hello, My washer cycles all they way thru from start to finish but does not seem to go into full final spin cycle (no excess speed on the spin and the clothes are soaking wet). It does spin in the wash/rinse cycle and does not have access water sitting in the tub so I think it is draining. Any recommendations? Would a timer possible fix this issue? Thanks.
1 Answer Cheryl, In most cases the issue with the unit not going into the full spin would be caused by a faulty door lock assembly. There is a spin enable switch that has to be activated in the lock assembly and this is normally what fails which would require the lock assembly to be replaced. Read More...
Ling August 31, 2013 for Model Number FTF530FS0 Hi, lately the washer has been having issues, it finish the cycles but clothing comes out still soaking wet. What do you think is the issue and which part I should replace? Thank you.
1 Answer Ling, Normally the clothing coming out wet on a washer will indicate that there is a clogged or restricted drain. You will want to check the drain from the tube on the bottom of the tub, through the drain pump and check the drain pump as well and all the way to the standpipe. Read More...
Pam August 25, 2013 for Model Number FTF530ES0 My washer "gets stuck" between the light was cycle and the rinse . I can slowly turn the selector and it will start the next cycle but then it stops again and continues this until it is finished. i have to move the the dial between each cycle. Do i need a timer? there is no problem with the selector knob itself and I do turn it very slowly to catch the next "click". Thank you
1 Answer Pam, Based on the information provided it does sound like the timer is the issue and would need to be replaced. Read More...
John January 06, 2013 for Model Number LTF530DS1 The motor will not spin, I have 120v between terminal 5 and 6. The timer will not advance on the heavy load side but will on the delicate side. I checked voltage between pins 1,2,6, and 10 and 2,6, and 10 are suppose to have 120v and 1 is 0v. I have 120v on pin 1 and 0v on pin 10. I also have a blown fuse on the motor control board. It appears to be both the timer and the board are bad, but just seems strange for both to go out at once.
1 Answer Hello John, It is possible that the timer went bad first and caused board to go bad but it looks like you did the correct testing and need to replace timer and board. Read More...
