Matt September 04, 2014 for Model Number frigidaire stack unit I have had some trouble with the washer portion of my unit. About a year ago it quit mid cycle and wouldn't fill the tub. I took it apart to find the controls plugged with lint. After cleaning and tinkering, it started working again and I attributed the problem to a bad contact in the control due to lint. Well, the same thing happened again and after a good cleaning, nothing is working to get the unit to fill, spin or make any sound whatsoever. The power to the dryer is functioning fine. My question then lied in whether there is another control, module, solenoid, etc that receives power before the control knob. It's $132 guess! What can I do to make sure this is indeed the problem?
1 Answer Hello Matt. Test for power to it. If it has power and is not working, it will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Steve November 10, 2011 for Model Number FLXE52RBS8 In my attempt to fix my dryer (stacked unit), I was pulling off all the knobs on the front, the one attached to this one would not pull off so I pried it pretty good only to find out it screws off. Now I can fill it click as you rotate it but it will not activate the filling of the tub etc.... Pretty sure I am hosed and need this part. Is that the case and any hints replacing it? Thanks
1 Answer Hi Steve. You will however need to replace the timer part # 131437400. Remove the power. Remove the lower panel under the controls, it is the one right above the washer lid. Remove the Left and Rt. Screws holding the control panel end caps. The panel then should unfold off the inner frame edges. This will give complete access to the timer. remove front timer /panel screws. Unclasp the timer electrical connector. Observe that you plug it back in squarely and firmly. Make sure the connector locking tab is fully reinserted. Reassemble in reverse. Thank You. Read More...
