Question about Frigidaire Washing Machines
There is an auxiliary switch in the door lock and switch assembly that
is activated at the end of the wash cycle for the machine to advance to
the spin cycle.
This is a safety feature to prevent the door from opening during the
spin cycle and the machine will not spin unless the switch is activated.
The machine works except advancing to the spin cycle and this signifies
that the auxiliary switch cannot be activated and the door lock and
switch assembly is faulty. Replace the door lock and switch assembly to address the issue. Indicate the complete and exact model number of the machine for the right replacement part number.
Disconnect power to the
machine then open the washer door and look for the retaining hoop securing
the door seal around the lip of the door opening. Use a pair of long-nose pliers to grasp the wire hoop at the spring
location and expand it to clear the door gasket and remove the spring
and wire hoop.
Carefully
peel off part of the door seal from the lip of the door opening near the
door lock and switch assembly. Remove enough of the door seal to gain
access to the door lock and switch assembly.

securing the door lock and switch assembly to the front panel. Once the
screws are removed, lift the door lock and switch assembly then pull it
away from the Washer won't spin. If washer - 1a4b866.jpg.

out of the machine. Disconnect the electrical connections then

secure it with the securing screws.
Properly put the eased part
of the door seal back over the lip of the door opening then secure it
with the retaining hoop to complete the procedure.
