My Frigidaire front load stacked washer/dryer makes a horrible noise and won't spin. It works perfectly except for the spin cycle

a knob part for the washer

Hello Laura Clark - Does the drain pump make a humming noise? If so, you possibly have a restriction in the drain line or siphoning. Try setting the cycle to spin only and verify if water pumps out. If it does not, the unit could possibly be experiencing an issue with the pump, door lock assembly or timer. Since it is such a complex unit, I suggest contacting a professional to move forward accurately

Hello Dorothy - Does the drain pump make a humming noise? If so, there may be a restriction in the drain line or siphoning. Otherwise since it is such a complex unit I would recommend contacting a professional to have either the pump or timer diagnose.

Most important in such a case is a perfect observation. So remove power and look for the motor drive. Manually check for the drive turning the pulley of the motor , check if there is any jamming or mechanical fault in the drive shaft , if so you will need to reset - over haul - this section.

you need to remove the agitator and check the bolts that hold the trunion to the shaft and make sure they are not broken.if one is just replace them make sure that the bracket is in the flat key way on the tub hope fully the tub seal is still good.

Hi,

When my washer did that, I found that the shocks that hold the tub were bad...

Check out this tip I wrote about the noise and vibration that front load washers can make..

Need more information to make an accurate diagnosis, try removing the front panel (two screws at bottom) and visually check first the belt (all the way around) and then the springs that hold the tub suspended.
I would bet on the belt.
