Question about Frigidaire GLWS1233A Top Load Washer
It's been a gradual problem, but our washing machine will fill with water, rinse, empty the water; but after pulling clothes out, we'll notice soapy residue (or some small patches of bubbles... never more than 1 or 2 patches) still on the side of the tub. We do not over fill the machine; in fact, I've tested it with only a t-shirt on a low load setting and it still happened. Any ideas? (We purchased our home a few months ago and before that it sat vacant for a year. I am guessing the washer/dryer are from about 2001, since that's when the house was built.)

Try wash it empty add no soap.. at the end of the wash cycle before it goes into spin open the lid and see if you have soap bubbles.. if you do have have a build up of soap and are using to much or the wrong soap for you area... let me know what you find out...

A very common fault on washing machines is when the program timer fails to complete the cycle and stops part way through. Many people blame the program timer for this but although it is a possible cause, there are many more likely causes for this fault. The program will stick if the heater isn't working, if the thermostat fails, if it can't fill up with cold water for the rinses, if it can't empty the water etc. There are too many possible causes of this fault to be able to give anything other than rudimentary advice. However, the common causes of a washing machine sticking that can easily be fixed are filling and emptying problems.

We'll change soaps... a handful of the pros on Yahoo answers suggested that we pour in white vinegar on an empty cycle and that should clean it out.
We have harder than average water for our area, so that very well may be it.
thanks!
