Hello friend, thank you for your post!

Please help me understand the question you are asking about your Frigidaire washer. Is your washer cutting on and off? Or is it coming on without any one pushing start? Is it flashing an error code? Thank you for any additional information you can provide. I look forward to your response. -Matt

Can we get 90 Inches of rain and a frequent lighting alert hail is possible

Who are you asking? Anyone reading this only has a vague idea of what you need. No specific APP is mentioned and in reality, your question should be directed at the maker of the APP, not on FixYa

90 inches of rain?

There seems to be an electrical fault, as when I turn the machine on it kicks back at the electrical box in the hall. Also the fuse in the plug has blown twice.

Please do not use the washing machine again, as you are risking the possibility of a fire at your place. The fuses & circuit breakers are there to prevent fire. It seems you have a dead short in your washer.
Someone will need to repair the washer before you attempt to use it again, this needs to be a certified repair shop. You may have had nothing to do with the problem, for example, it could have been a lightning strike in a storm.
God bless your efforts.

Why will my washer not bring any water in?

It is possible that the electrically operated water inlet valve has failed closed. This is a common occurrence with washers. If unsure about replacing it, call a service tech

I've had my emachines for about four years and after a rain storm my tower is not working. When ever I turn it on theirs and error page that shows up. Its been doing that for about two years now.

Hello Aretta,


The storm you referred, you didn't mention if it was torrential rain, or a lightning storm, either way, there could have been a build-up of static electricity on the telephone line and if your P.C. was connected to the internet and to the mains at that time, it maybe the build-up of static earthed itself through your P.C.. If that is the case, then you are lucky it did not kill your machine. My advice is to get an engineer to look at it BUT! don't tell him about the storm unless he asks.

Regards,
Ron.

Does not spin

If you pull out your washer and take of the back panel you should be able to see the motor. Check the belt and see if its still attached. Since these washers spin at high speeds its a common occurrence for the motors to burn out.

Lightning Storm/Affinity Washer

During a lightning storm, a lightning strike could have induced a high voltage surge in your incoming power lines. Left unprotected from these power surges, the weakest link ( normally low voltage electronic controls) are the most susceptable. Just because you had power available at the wall receptacle after a storm doesn't mean that your washer control system wasn't exposed to one of these surges and got damaged. On the contrary, it is extremely likely that the washer took a 'hit' and was damaged.Other devices plugged into the same receptacle may have survived that hit because electricity travels the path of least resistance.. In this case.. that path may have been thru your washer.. My point being is that your washer could have sustained a power surge and was damaged so don't rule that out. Of course, that surge could have taken an internal fuse or other component out too..

Frigidaire Tumble Action Washer - lights flash, beeps, does nothing else...

If you have had a lightning storm or power surge it may have fried the electronics panel. That is what happened to mine. Once it is fixed you should put a surge suppressor on it that is rated for major appliances.
