Hello,
What you want to check is the lid switch..remove the front panel..on the switch/lid lock asm.will be
the main switch which is part in the black body of the lock asm. the 2 terminals their will have contunuty with zero ohms when lid is closed

when lid closed the white switch will be open and closed when lid open

the one in the black body on the main lock asm. will be open when lid open

IF it does turn out that the lid lock is the problem the part number for it is 134101800
it could be purchased online at;
repairclinic.com
apdepot.com
apwagner.com
searspartsdirect.com
midwestapplianceparts.com

If the switch checks to be good test for power into the drain pump if no power the timer is what is wrong the washer (not dryer) timer is part# 131758600

Frigidaire gallery series Model GLGH42FS1 stackable washer leaking

see this causes and fix it. God bless you
Water Inlet Valve
If the hose connections are good to the water inlet valve check that water is not leaking from the valve itself it is replace the water inlet valve.

Drain Pump
Check the drain pump housing and all hose connections. The drain pump is down under neath. To disassemble your washer follow the appropiate tutorial. Hoses can be tightened. If hoses or pump housing is leaking replace the pump assembly.

Tub Seal
This is in the center of the tub. The seal is inexpensive but will require some labor to install. Check the tutorials on disassembling the cabinet then remove the agitater and inner tub. Enter your model # above for a diagram or illustration.

Can you buy a frigidaire stackable washer separately?

Have you had a qualified service man look at your machine? I would think that the burned rubber smell would direct you to examine the belt (found in the very bottom after removal of front cover).
If it is the belt it is a very easy fix on this machine. The not draining part wouldn't be related to the belt the pump that does the draining is driven by its own electric motor and is easily visible when the front cover is off. Its located on the bottom left side. If a sock or other small item manages to get over the side of the basket it always ends up jamming the pump.
You would have to take the pump apart to retrieve the item and restore pump function
Good Luck

Frigidaire Stackable Front Loader Washer

Jane, check to make sure that the drain hose has a air gap in the drain. Sometimes you will get a siphoning effect if you don't have the gap or it is pushed down to far in the drain. If this is not your problem, it's probably a timer issue...Catriver..post back
