Frigidaire front load washer GLTF1240AS0 - noisy and leaves dirt/oil on clothes in dotted pattern (so dirt being put on thru drum at final spin?). Could it be oil leak? bearing?

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand your Frigidaire laundry center, model# FGX831CS, is not spinning water out of your clothes completely. I see that on the first spin cycle the drum is not spinning and is just making noise, and on the second spin cycle the drum spins to the left very slowly and loudly. First check to see if your washer is overloaded. Try taking some clothes out and spinning them again. Secondly, make sure that the load is not out of balance. Try rearranging the clothes to allow for proper spinning. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your dryer status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

so it is the spin cycle that does not work that is the drum does not turn. Have you tried other levels such as delicate wash and see if spin works. LASTLY, disconnect power and reconnect.

Could be oil from drum bearings gone...if its noisy too

operate one quick cycle with not load with hot water and detergent to clean the drum

You have a blockage in pump or an item of clothing between drum and pump if water cant get out or is slowed the spin speed wont rise

do not overload washer. use a minimum amount of detergent. [hint-if there are still suds in final rinse,use less detergent].

The rear drum support must be replaced.The supporting ball has eaten into the support cup.The belt will have stretched and must be replaced also. You can do the job yourself.

The problem with your front load washer is a broken rear bearing. If you remove the rear panel, you will see brown "gunk" all over.
If you want to repair it on your own, order this:

Good Luck!

Have a GLTF2940. Error code E20 and E30 came up. Will not drain and spin.
What to do?
