Clean tub options keeps blinking on affinity frigidaire fafs4474lwo model

Hello Larry Occhipinti, thank you for your post!

If you are pushing the necessary buttons on your Frigidaire washer to perform a system clean and they are not working, it could be a possible issue within the control panel. I would recommend a reset on your appliance which can be done by disconnecting power from your appliance for roughly ten minutes. If that does not correct the issue, you can run a hot water wash cycle with a cup of bleach inside the tub to clean your appliance out as well. I hope this is helpful. -Matt

clean it by using 5 cups bleach fill soap cup put rest in tub wash in hot water long cycle run another or 2 after to make sure bleach is gone

The control lock feature has been activated. To toggle this off, press and hold Options and Select for 10+ seconds. There is a small padlock indicated in the middle of a line between the buttons that toggle the lock on and off. This feature prevents anyone from changing a wash program when in use or a child starting a cycle with the cat or another child in the washer.

The manual for most Frigidaire appliances are available here: http://www.frigidaire.com/manuals . Enter the model number and click Search. Frigidaire lists several models of the Affinity ATF7000E. The direct link to the operating instructions manual for the ATF7000ES0 is here: http://manuals.frigidaire.com/prodinfo_pdf/Webster/134602700ef.pdf . In this manual, the control lock is described on page 2.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Please press the "Options" button until the light next to "Signal Volume" is blinking, then hit Select until you have the desired volume.

Good luck!

Hi, "LOC" indicates that the control panel settings are locked. Press the SELECT and OPTION button simultaneously to toggle this 'feature' on or off. Hope this helps.

I was doing a search for infor on how to clean my affinity front load washer, and came across this infor and this did not work for me either, but when I turned my dial to rinse and spin then hit clean the clean option appeared.

Suggestion:
Plug off the mains. You have to look for screws below the front kick-panel, the panel comes down & out. The pump is on the right side. Be prepared for dirty water. There is a drain hose here, disconnect & drain out. There could be a lot of water. Inside the big flexible tube (coming from the tub bottom) is the filter, be prepared to find all sorts of junk here, clean out. Examine your pump also, clean out the impeller. Carefully refit all. Your machine would be fine. Don’t wait for the machine to jam to look into your filter.
For some front loader models after removing the panel, the filter is in the compartment having the white screw able lid. The big hose from the bottom of your tub leads to this compartment.

Try holding the 'options' & 'select' buttons together till the door lock button comes on. This is the child lock function. You can do it again for the lock to come off. Hold down for over 3 seconds

Control Lock
To avoid having someone accidentally start or stop the
washer, press Options and Select at the same time and
hold for 10 seconds until “LOC” is displayed alternately
with the estimated cycle time. To unlock the controls,
press Options and Select at the same time and hold 10
seconds until ”LOC” is no longer displayed.

that was just happening a few seconds ago with mine and i just tried pusing the control button and the options button at the same time for a few seconds... i reopened the door and pressed start again...it's running now... good luck
