Older Frigidaire stacked top-load - loud ticking during agitation




By Brval on Aug 01, 2009

" "
It's the older Frigidaire stacking top loader model with the wig-wag transmission and is belt-driven washer. I actually can't find the exact model number, so the one in the here in the post may not be correct. The only model number I can find is FLC271GW1.

It makes a lout ticking noise during agitation and the motor seems overloaded when starting to spin. (I know this is the badly designed model where it spins and drains simultaneously)

I have recently replaced the belt with the correct type.

Any ideas?

- Figured it out on my own. Turns out the last "repair technician" didn't think the pile of shredded belt material laying in the bottom of the washer might have something to do with the tensioning pulley being fried. The pulley and bushing were not even connected and the hole in the pulley was so big, it would catch every once in a while and fry the belt. We asked him to check the machine over really well, but this part appears to have been not replaced or working properly for a long time. It was possible to use some epoxy putty to revive it temporarily until I can get a new part.
