Gltf530dso frigidaire washer

The drum paddles are screwed from the outside of the bowl. To access them, you have to completely strip the machine and remove the wash bowl. The paddles are rarely available as a spare part. You may be able to repair it or remove it. This will affect the wash action to a certain extent if you take it out. Its a big job.

Thank you for your inquiry, Dawn Leonard!

From what you have described you want to remove your washer paddles and replace them on your Frigidaire washer. I am unsure which paddles you are referring too? Could you provide further information, please? With that I would be able to assist you further. -Matt

Hi friend, thank you for your post!

Based off the information you have provided the paddle (vane) inside your Frigidaire washer broke. I would recommend having a technician come out to diagnose and repair your appliance due to some of these intricate parts requiring precision and patience. When replacing such components or removing them from your appliance I suggest seeking professional assistance. One must be very careful as these replacements can lead to potential harm. Hope this helps. -Matt

Not sure about the frigidaire,but most front panels can be removed from front. If you look around outer edge of trim piece there might be little screwdriver slot. Carefully pry off trim piece(faceplate),disconnect electrical plug on back,set aside.Once removed you should see you solution for removing paddle.

Hello - Generally speaking, there is not a paddle on a front load washer however there is a "vane" which is where the water comes out of. What issue is the unit experiencing exactly? Can you tell me if it is displaying any specific error codes? If I know more information on what the issue is, I can try to better assist you further.

Hello,
With some of these machines now they have sealed drums.On some models you can access through the bottom sump hose and others you may be able to get access through the hose by the soap box.There are a couple of drums where you can drill a hole in the top to get at the tags on the paddles and some drums where you cannot do without changing the complete tub.

Hope this helped.
