Frigidaire front load FTF530FS

Good Afternoon Amy,

I understand that your Frigidaire washer, model# FTF530ES, knocks during the spin cycle. I also see that the drum moves from front to back and not up and down. I suggest making sure that your washer is level from front to back, side to side, and from corner to corner. If after leveling you washer, the drum is still moving from front to back, I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose your washer and determine why the drum is moving from front to back. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

Good Morning Friend,

I understand that your Frigidaire washer, model# FTF530ES, is having trouble with the drum rocking back and forth, from front to back. I suggest making sure that your washer is level. I would check from front to back, side to side, as well as from corner to corner. If you have leveled your appliance and are still noticing the drum rocking from front to back I would suggest contacting your local authorized technician. Hope this is helpful.

Hi,
The pins just push out...they are hard to get too and push hard...a screw driver and a hammer are what I used...
Get them started and then a pump pliers on the other end and you can pull them the rest of the way out...

Washer Problems Washer noise when spinning

Seems you have possibly 2 problems. One, check to see if the element is not faulty. If no heat during heating cycle, the washer wont proceed for a long time.. Two, if noisy, especially on spin cycle, the bearings (2 of them) and the seal are faulty. Replace them as soon as possible.

If it is brand new are the transit bolts removed? try spin with nothing in it and see if it turns smoothly, if not there is something broken inside, id spins smoothly it will be a fault in the dampers.

The bearings are bad. My sears kenmore did the same thing. Do you have hard water, that would be one cause. Or maybe it's still under warrenty because it is not a cheap fix.

seawolrf your going to have to do a little work...open the door now looking at the washer i want you to take a knife or screw driver and take that gasket off right next to the door switch,,the black gasket is glued ,,yes glued pull it up..only by door switch..now remove door switch screws (2) now replace that connection...onthejob

Have you checked the filter, it may need emptying/cleaning out. If you take bottom front panel off you should be able to see it -- I think it's toward the right.

Kill Yourself

Take off the lower panel. Inspect the shocks too see if they are damaged. If they are OK turn the wash basket by hand if the knock is heard then most likely you have a broken wash basket.
