I have a fridgidaire front loader washer that stops working mid cycle in the quick and normal cycles. The timer counts down but gets stuck and never completely counts down. However the spin cycle is still working. Any ideas?

The filter on your pump is probably clogged with lint and
stuff. You have to remove the bottom front panel, 3 torx screws
underneath. The
panel will drop and come off. Drain off the excess water from the hose
you
see.The white filter cover is right in front.
Get yourself a bunch of towels or a good big plastic bag to collect
water.
Unscrew the filter cover and twist the filter out. Clean out all the
stuff and
put it back in carefully.
Next: You can use Affresh to clean your front loader. Deposits
of soap and other such things can be
stuck around the inside tub of your washer. Try this product, it works
great on
all front loaders. Use quite hot water with the Affresh pellet with no clothes
and
run the machine through a cycle.Also
helps with any stagnant water smells. Have you cleaned out your pump
lately.Put the pellet inside the
machine, not in the soap dispenser.
Pl give me a good rating for the free help, thanks.
Your timer has gone bad and you need to replace the time. Best bet is to get a Technician out there but you can do it yoursel. It is behind the face plate where it counts down the time
We had a similar situation with our LG washer. It was not a timer problem.
The machine was not entering the spin cycle and was just stuck in limbo. A sensor or something was not being satisfied and allowing the progression to the next cycle. Our problem had to do with the drain line; it seemed as if it was air locked?? After lowering the drain line height (to reduce the head pressure), and manually draining some water out of the drainage cap (where the strainer is located) onto the floor, the sensor became satisfied and the machine completed its cycles properly.
What told me that it was not a timer issue was the fact that on different wash settings (normal, heavy, quick cycle), the machine timer would get stuck at different countdown points (22mins, 12mins, etc.).
