My Frigidaire front loader had the same problem. I spent $70 on a door latch/switch. It took about 30 minutes to do the swap. It was very easy. It fixed the problem. You can do it yourself with a square bit screwdriver. To get to the switch you remove the front bottom panel, then the front panel, then unscrew the switch. Swap wires one at a time from the old to the new switch. Then reverse everything. You'll want a helper to help with the panels. Good luck.
I could have saved money by buying online, but it ain't no fun when the washer is broke.
At first the pump was making awful noice, so i took it all apart and made sure it wasnt clogged. now when you turn it on, the pump is till noisy and the water is not coming into the washer at all
Hi
Thank You
for using FixYa. If your
washer won't drain, check these:
It spins, but doesn't pump
If your washer
spins but doesn't pump the water out, the drain line is probably clogged. In
many washers, a small sock or other piece of clothing can get between the
clothes tub and the outer tub that holds the water. If the clothing gets
between the tubs, it may then get into the drain hose that's attached to the
pump--or even into the pump itself. If it's in the pump, you need to remove the
hoses from the pump and pull the item out.
To remove the
sock from the outer tub port, open the washer's main access panel and remove
the large-diameter rubber hose that connects the pump to the bottom of the
outer tub. Then, using needle-nose pliers try to grab and remove the clothing
through the port.
Sometimes you
can't remove the stuck clothing from below. Then you have to remove the
agitator, top of the outer drum shield, and inner clothes tub. This isn't easy
to do--and you may need special tools--so you might be happier getting a
qualified appliance repair technician to do the job.
If the drain
line isn't plugged, the problem may be with your pump. Even if the pump appears
to be turning, the internal impeller may be broken. If so, you need to replace
the pump.
It doesn't spin
or pump
If your washer
doesn't spin or pump water out but the motor is running, your washer probably
has a frozen pump pulley. If so, you need to replace the pump. To check the
pulley, remove the pump from the washer and try to rotate the pulley manually.
If it doesn't turn freely--if it's frozen or stiff--replace it.
It pumps, but
the water returns
If the water
that pumps out of the machine goes back into the machine after the spin cycle,
your washer may be siphoning the water from a laundry tub that has a slow
drain, back into the washer. The usual remedy for this is to improve the
draining of the laundry tub. (Is something stuck in the drain?) Also, check for
these problems:
If the drain
hose reaches more than about 4 inches into the laundry tub, cut off the excess.
If your drain
hose is lower than the washer's cabinet, install an air gap/siphon break
assembly.
Please do
accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further
assistance.
Thanks
