Question about Frigidaire 14 Cycle Tumble Action Washer

Automati Washer Spin Cycle

Last night when I went to put clothes from the washer to the dryer, they felt very wet. I found out that the spin cylce was not working at all. Is that an expensive item to repair, or do I need to purchase a new washer???? A friend had told me that to get whites whiter, pour some vinegar into the rinse water. I did that - and then when the batch was done, I found it had not spun the water out. I doubt that the vinegar caused it - but who knows????

same problem when washer gets to spin cycle it does not work. I took the front off and squeezed the rubber boot and the water cycled out. This problem repeats with me having to continue to do the same action every couple times we use the washer.

Frigidaire 16 cycle 3 speed washer will not spin during rinse cycle,water drains out but tumbler just sits and makes a grinding noise like the sound of a bad bearing.Ican turn the tumbler freely by hand counter-clockwise but when I try to turn it clockwise it makes a metallic click sound and will not move.Motor and belt seem to turn freely when moved by hand both directions.A buddy told me it was the timer,any help would be appreciated.

Never heard the vinegar in the rince water thing but who knows! do you know if the washer drum is working in the wash cycle? as you know it should tumble in both directions. if you ca check that it would be a big help to know if the motor is working. it could be something as simple as the belt broke. so get back to me with the answer and we can go from there. thanks

Clothes are still wet after last spin cylce

Most washing machines do not dry the clothes completely. Make sure that your clothes are evenly spaced & the weight is balanced to get the best spin speed. When the cycle is complete, you will need to put the clothes into a dryer or hang them up to get them completely dry.

Frigidaire Affinity Front Load Washer wont drain.

If your pump had something in it, it wouldn't have had to clog it, but rather just stopped the internal spinning. My coworker removed a dollar bill from his water pump, and it fixed the problem he was having (same as you've described) and the water pump worked well after it was re-installed.
Worst case scenario, you reinstall it and it doesn't drain and you spend 40 or 50 bucks online for the part. I would reinstall and see if it works. I'd bet on it.

Samsung front load dryer will turn on but not spinning or drying. I was wiping it out and turning the drum I heard a snap sound.

I was cleaning mine and doing the same thing last night. Washed a load of clothes tonight and went to dry them and everything works on it except it won't spin or heat. Heard the same type of popping noise last night cleaning it out. Have you found any solutions? Mine is just over a year old. I did some reading and thing that the dryer belt came off its assembly possibly. Have you found a solution?

Wont spin

Yes you will find a belt under the bottom of the machine. Check out first that it did not just over balance and cut out while spinning if so you will need to hit the reset buttonand check out spin cycle. Hope this helps

Mildew/Stagnant water smell in washer

you know, this does happen.

run it on a full cycle, warm, with either of these in solution.

baking soda, at 1/10 concentration

non chlorine bleach, at 1/6 concentration

you most likely need to do this more than once, until your nose is happy.

Also, consider doing this at least once every 200 wash cycles.

essential oils have same effect, and do a nice anti microbial as well.

we did this in commercial laundries all the time, as part of standard health code compliance issues.

WILL NOT SPIN ON HIGH

The spin normally does not work when the outlet filter is clogged; if the filter is clean you should then check your pipe coming out from under the tub (plug off the wall first before doing all these things). Last check your outlet pump, could be blocked with something. Refit carefully, you might need a nice pair of pliers to get the grip clip on and off the pipes.
The outlet pipe into the wall stands at a particular height, refit exactly to this height, about 3 feet from ground
