Frigidaire FTF530FS Front Load Washer Logo
Anonymous Posted on Dec 15, 2010

My fridgidaire front load washer just started having an issue last night while washing a load of jeans. My said said it made a noise like the load was uneven but she did not think anything of it. When I went to put the jeans in the dryer they were soaked. I tried to re-start the washer several times on different settings and no luck. It starts off like it is fine and then kick off but the lights stay on. I have unplugged it to reset but this did not help. Any suggestions??? PLEASE

    When you say starts out fine what do you mean? Does the water start and then as soon as the cycle starts shuts off?

    Yes, the water starts and then shuts off a few seconds later. If I change the cycle to spin for example it will try to start and shut right off. The actual model number is FTF2140ES.

    I have also checked the drain hose to make sure it is not restricted/clogged...

It sounds like you have a broken piece somewhere in the unit. If you can pull the machine out and then take the back off. Then start it up and see what you can see. I'm still thinking that a belt slipped or snaped ergo the clunking. It shutting of tells me something is out of wack. The drum might have sliped off aswell. Good luck let me know what you see when you take the back off.

I have a WD 1049C front load washing machine and behind the front seal there appears to be a mould buildup. How can we clean this area?

you would need to take out the whole drum assm....in other words you will need to dismantle the whole unit.....first thing first get lysol aerosol spray and spray around were there is mold.....i would take the unit outside and then spray it.....becuase once the mold have been disturbed it will find another place to live on......next u will need to use front load HE detergent......when you wash your laundry....start with the cold water clothes first then the last loads use hot water so it will wash clothes and disinfect at the same times...
lastly after all luandry have been washed ........open washer door over night so it can air out.......if not opening it at all the water and detergent that sits over night can cuase mold buildup and foul odors.....the gaskets are air tight and can not evaporate when door is closed.....
if your house has a/c i would put a fan in front of the washer over night..............

a feed back would be good if this helps anybody.....
my opinion........
the older top load washers are better..............
