Frigidaire washer will not take a overloaded tub without causing belt problems. Unplug the washer. Remove the 2 screws on the very bottom of the front washer panel. Slide the front panel down slightly and remove it from the cabinet. Inspect the belt around the motor pulley and transmission. If it is worn at all it needs replacing. You could plug the washer back in and set it to Spin cycle and watch for the motor to turn and the belt slipping to verify a bad belt. Keep your hands,fingers and tools away from all moving parts.
If you think that the washing machine belt is the cause of your troubles you can find it in the very bottom of the machine (behind the front panel)
Would need more info on the dryer problem, (Is it running with no heat or not running at all)
the washer drive belt is the only easy fix on this model.
Good Luck

Remove the front panel to the washer. Screws across the bottom. Push down on the front panel, then pull it out. Belt should go around transmission, motor pulley and tension roller.
