Frigidaire washer not spinning?

i have a front loader Frigidaire that i have had about 3 or 4 yrs now. It just stop spinning and leaves the clothes very wet all other cycles work and it does turn regularly with the normal cycles it just doesn't spin. Also i have not had any problems with the door lock it still works fine. What is wrong with it and how do i fix it?Frigidaire washer not spinning?
Unfortunately, It's not an easy thing to diagnose. The motor speed which must go to high for proper spin is controlled by the motor speed control board. It is located in the bottom right rear. You can only get to it by removing the fill hoses and taking off the back. It could be the rpm sensor on the motor itself. This would require a new motor.The door lock could still be at fault. It has three switches on it. Frigidaire came with two types of controls. Manual timer or all electronic(push button). The electronic version could also be bad. Sorry, you can't tell the defective part just by looking. You need a service tech. Make sure it is someone familiar with Frigidaire front loaders.Frigidaire washer not spinning?
could be the spin belt pulley.
You and me both. This is a very common problem with the front loaders, I see free washers of this sort all day long with one problem, they won't spin.





So far as I know there is no answer. I've tried lessening the loads, heavying the loads, speaking to the washer kindly, all sorts of things. Sometimes it spins, sometimes it goes through bouts of depression where it refuses to spin the water out of anything.





So what I did was, I got another top loading washer for free, and when the water in the front loading washer isn't totally out, I throw it in the top loading washer and only use the spin cycle. This washer isn't hooked up to water at all, it's just plugged into the wall, and it's outlet hose drains in the laundry room sink.
