SOURCE: Frigidaire Front Load Washer won't Spin

i fixed mine about 5 times and its always some thing diffrent.
try buyng the inexpencive parts first and leave for last the electronic control panel.
it could be that your washing a smaller amount than the recomended.
Take it to a profesional. dont do like me a DIY guy. Some times i need to take pictures when taking the monster appart and then because they are somany screws missing duct tape, rope or hangerwire becomes usefull.
All mechanics are wise guys you and me are thevictims.

SOURCE: Frigidaire machine error codes E5E and Error Code 59

OK, I had an awful unbalanced load that was banging like crazy for about 5 seconds before we hit cancel. After that the machine wouldn't rotate at all in any cycle.
After opening it up and checking the belt, I found a wire harness just siting there unconnected. Now sometimes machines have unused harnesses but clearly this had to be it. In my case it was a 5 wire harness coming from the top of the unit (control panel).

It turns out this was knocked off the motor control circuit board from the motor banging around. I could see impact marks on the white plastic housing of the control board.
From the back, undo the one screw on the L bracket holding the white housing in place. Then gently ease the housing around the motor just so you can access the top better. You won't be taking it out, just twisting to a better angle (you can, but no need to disconnect all the other wires). Lift the housing lid and you will see a another wire harness on the right side next to the green ground wire that goes to the motor. The loose harness goes right on the circuit board edge - you are not looking for pins to connect to like most harnesses you may be used to. You will see an indent for this 5 wire harness in the middle of the circuit board, so snap it over with wires towards motor. Close up the lid and reinstall the white housing back into place, making sure to get the leg clipped under the sheet metal on the front side.
One important note - the circuit board map on the printed troubleshooting sheet says this hardness goes on J3, but the correct spot on the circuit board says J2. J3 has 7 connection points and is actually not used. Nice one Frigidaire.

I actually did this twice because the first time it didn't work. The second time I just made sure I pushed ALL the connectors I c ould see in nicely in case there was a bad connection. And that did it. the machine and works fine.
Mine was a Frigidaire LFT2140ES3, but I woudn't doubt that this could happen to other models.

SOURCE: Frigidaire FTF2140FS2 front loader-how to tell whether I need to replace the main control board or the motor control board. Machine won't spin,already replaced door lock switch,that's not it.

please see the causes with common sense, before to proceed to exchange some error parts. God bless you
Water Level Control / Pressure Switch
his is the most common reason a washer will agitate but not spin. To check this on most , with no water you should have continuity on pins 7&15. With the tub full 7&16 should have continuity. This video walks you thru checking another type of switch.

Lid Switch
This can be the problem for the washer not spinning . Most whirlpool styles this will effect both agitate and spin but some models will still agitate but not spin.This is easy to check. You will need to remove the switch, this varies with model type but the testing will be the same. When the lid is closed the switch should have continuity when the lid is opend the switch should have no continuity. If it differs replace the Lid Switch.

Timer
To check the timer you will need to refer to the wiring diagram or disassemble to access the motor. Check the leads from the timer to the motor when turned to a wash cycle this should have 120 volts. If not replace the Timer, if it does the timer is not the problem.

Motor
To check the motor you will need to disassemble the washer to access the motor. First you can check the motor windings, to do this remove the plug and connect ohmeter to terminals. Refer to the tech sheet or service manual for the proper reading. Check motor for shorts by connecting ohmeter to terminals and motor housing should have no continuity. Connect voltmeter to motor wire connector and check for voltage. You should have 120 volts, if you do and the motor does not run replace the motor. If it does not have power the problem is elsewhere.

Belt
If your washer is a belt drive type make sure the belt is tight. Check for black soot from belt wear. Replace if it has excessive wear or broke.

Motor Coupler
This is a fairly common problem with direct drive machines but inexpensive and easy to replace. The Motor Coupler transfers power from the motor to thetransmission. The following video will walk you through the replacement of the Motor Coupler.

Transmission
The transmission does not usually fail. To check this on a direct drive remove the motor and then turn tub inside. If it spins freely with no noise theproblem is elsewhere. If it is noisy it needs replacing this is expensive and depending on the age of your machine you may not want to replace it. On a belt drive remove the belts and spin tub.
