Our ATF8000fs1 wash machine stopped doing the spin cycle. The drum still turns slowly during the wash/rinse cycle, but it won't do the high speed spin. I tried a spin cycle only with no clothes in it and had the same issue. I saw where to hold down Start/Pause and Cancel and that gave me "E47" code. Any ideas?
E47 error is for the door lock assembly. Here is the part to order.
Here is a video to show you how to make the repair.

Clean out coin collector thoroughly. Replace drain pump if necessary. Water will drain if you can place drain hose on floor and let water siphon out.

This is exactly what my machine was doing, as well. I fixed it by cleaning out the filter in front of the water pump.
Searching here, I found that you can remove the lower front panel (three screws along the bottom edge is all it takes) to get to the filter. With the panel removed, you'll see a round white plastic cover (about 3-4 inches diameter) that screws out. Get a bucket under the cover to catch the water that's in it (could be 2 quarts or more) and unscrew the cover.
The cover pulls out, revealing that is actually a screw-in plastic strainer. I found tons of coins, broken pens, paper clips, etc. in mine when I did this. A lot will be deep inside the black rubber hose that connects this filter housing to the washer drum. You can rake the stuff out with a bent wire clothes hanger. Shaking the black hose will help hurry the junk along and out of your machine. Screw the cover back on after the clean out and your machine should go back to normal.
Thinking about it, front loaders will have lots of small items flushed into the pump compared to top loaders. Coins you alway found in the bottom of the drum in a top loader, they all wind up in the filter of a front loader. And once it slow the drainage to a crawl the machine will shut down multiple times when it can't drain the water out completely, and it will never step up to it's max spin speed with all that water still in the drum.

I should have said: this is a Frigidaire Affinity
Richard Roth's answer is right on the money. I found the part locally for $84 and installed it last night. Then sat and watched for 10 agonizing minutes as it when through it's slow spins in spin cycle. The last 2 minutes of the spin cycle it kicked into high gear and we were off and running. Thanks!
I'm glad you are up and running! Have a great Holiday season!
