Frigidaire FTF2140FS Front Load Washer / Dryer Logo
Anonymous Posted on Jun 27, 2010

Have a Frigidaire front load wash machine model# FTFB4000FS1. I believe my wedding ring is at the discharge pump. I was told by a service tech if I remove a baffel I could turn the drum to line up with the pump. I want to access the area before the pump. How does this baffel come off. NOTE: Onthe left side of each baffel, there is a round opening formed in the plastic baffel that looks like there should be a screw installed. I have oned the unit since it was new in 07. Please help. I have limited floor space in laundry room.

You cannot remove the baffles without disassembling the entire tub assemblys.
To access the inside of the washer cabinet remove the two or three phillips head screws at the bottom of the front of the washer and the lower panel below the door will come off to give you access.
If your ring is anywhere it is probably caught inside the lint/debris trap #40 on the diagram. You will want to remove the entire rubber drain boot that connects between the pump and the bottom of the outer tub. Also try to reach inside the tub with your hand through the hole where the rubber drain boot connected if you do not find it in the lint trap.

I would not recommend anyone other than a skilled technician attempt to disassemble the wash tubs on this machine.
Good luck to you on this!!

Testimonial: "Thank you very much for the info. I did realize the front cover comes off after I had the machine on its side. With the lower front cover removed, and the access slot in the bottom floor of the cabinet gave the room I needed to get the hose clamps back on. I did find my ring and about &2.00 in change. What a releif, the world is right agsin!. I'm glad I did not force the baffle off. Sounds like I would have had to replace it."

Model #ftfb4000fs1 frigidaire front load washer will not go into final spin --- drains but will not spin dry

Just had this problem last week. The problem was the door switch, which made no sense to me since the drum still turned on the other cycles. But the repair shop replaced the ($76!) switch and the machine now works fine.

Frigidaire front load washer LTF2940FE0 wont drain

That loud noise is most likely debris bouncing around inside your water pump. Pull the 2 hoses off and try removing it by hand, or un-bolt it from the floor pan and tip it sideways to shake any small objects out. I found a mans wedding ring in there once.

I had the same problem. The service tech came out and replaced the pump, it has been working fine ever since. I couldn't believe the pump went out in only a couple of years.
