The ball bearings are shot on this unit. I have a matching dryer, that still works fine, stacked on top of this washer. I'm told this washer is no longer produced by Sears. Can I buy a newer unit and still get it to stack? If so, how and what model?

Hello Jennifer Christie, thank you for your post!

I see that you have replaced the belt and bearing drum in your Frigidaire dryer but the unit does not start. It sounds like you could be experiencing an issue within the motor or timer. I would recommend having a professional come out to properly diagnose and repair your appliance, to avoid any further unnecessary part purchases. I hope this is helpful. -Matt

washer timer, or door lid lock , check volt in water solniod

Hello,

WHat ya need to check is for proper power going to the entire unit it sounds as if either a breaker is off or their is burnt/broken wire from the main power connection.

All symptons listed i suppose occured suddendly?? and to me its a lack of proper electrical power that is causing all of them.

Transmission bearing has failed. The transmission has to be replaced as a unit.
The transmissions are relatively inexpensive (around 150 to 175 dollars) I have replaced 3
of these and they are rather difficult.

sounds like rear tub bearing on dryer ,,,,,,washer needs new lid switch

Your problem could be a bad bearing...The drum rides in a bearing at the rear middle of unit..Its basically a plastic insert...When the dryer is first started the bearing will squeal until the plastic warms up..Normally you will hear the squeal at the back middle of dryer...Your problem may also be the belt tensioner...Again a plastic wheel with a metal bearing inside...Normally this squeal will be from start to finish..

In the cradle where the center drum bearing fits is a plastic bearing mounted on a metal bracket. When that plastic bearing wears down the ball begins to contact the metal bracket. Bad things are ahead also. Because now as the drum turn the bracket is cutting into the ball.

Very possibly not the belt but the associated components like the drum: motor bearings bearing strips support:rollers (if you have them) etc. Truthfully i would just continue untill something malfunctions then do an extensive repair. Once you start repairing these small ****, it esculates into a relatively large expence.

a stack unit is a very risky investment, altho it's understandable if you have limited space. if the hold downs on the washer are rusted out or broken thru you need to have someone weld them for you. That's how we used to do it where I worked but stacks are not usually easily worked on. I'm afraid you will probably have to get an entirely new unit or maybe a used one from a reputable used appl. dealer in your area. Check around, you might get lucky and find one relatively inexpensive

It sounds like the dryer motor please change thanks
