Hi my washer model is frigidaire fex831.
The washer fills but will not agitate. It does fill and it definately spins. It does not agitate in any mode. In fact the only thing getting agitated is me! Ha ha!
I wonder if you could diagnose this.
Thank you,
Jamie Hershberger
Hi thanks for the question it looks like a problem with the transmission but only if afer the water fills the tub the motor starts running if te motor docent start after its full look for a timer problem . so if motor runs on wash cycle and no spin transmission problem thanks the appliance doc please rate me.
Im having the same issue, my washer fills ill open the lid when it starts to adjitate i can see it trying to go but it doesnt, when its done with the timer it drain then spins just fine. every 3 to 6 months i noticed i have to replace the thing that makes the washer adjitate, i think is called a adjitater coupling? is there something else wrong with my washer?
Hello Marjorie, thank you for your post!
From the information you have provided water will fill, drain and spin but your Frigidaire washer is not agitating. This could be a problem with your motor, belt, or pulley. Locating the problem is not a simple DIY job and I would suggest seeking assistance from a professional. They have the appropriate tools needed to disassemble your washer and prevent any future issues. I hope this information is helpful to some degree. -Matt

We have the same problem. The tub fills but does not agitate or spin. You can't look in to be sure because the top locks, but there is no sign of movement inside. Any sloutions are appreciated
Same problem - washer won't agitate, but will drain and spin. It doesn't try to agitate, just fills and stops. If you move the dial to the end of the rinse cycle it will start to drain and then spin, but no agitation. We don't know if it is something to do with the timer, or if there is a problem with the motor, or transmission.
does it sound as if its trying to agitate????motor turnig and tub staying idle?adn although water is draining, it it actually spinning???
