Frigidaire fws445rfs2 will not spin but agitates

Question edited for clarity 'make model (what it is).
Question moved to Frigidaire Washing Machine.

This is the Transmission unit, which I would say puts it beyond economical repair.

Frigidaire H Transmission #WCI-134735700
List Price: $765.13
Sale Price: $637.61

On first reading, I thought it sounded like the pump, but then no agitation, but it spins. This makes it sound like the control board. In view of the confusing actions and the cost involved, I would call out a Service Engineer.

either belt loose or agitator cogs under agitator bad

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand your Frigidaire washer, model# FWSB5700DS, will agitate but not spin. I suggest resetting your appliance, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your homes circuit breaker, for 3-5 minutes. When power is returned, select any cycle and run the wash. If you are still noticing that it is agitating and not spinning, I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose your washer and determine why it will agitate but not spin. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

No spin, try these:

Using a multi meter check for continuity the door switch, which when bad may not allow agitation or spin. The lid switch assembly can fail either mechanically or electrically.

Check the clutch, brake assembly and transmission, one way to check for slipping is to get under the machine after a spin cycle ( this is if u get a lil spin but not much leaving clothes still wet) mix in a spray bottle a lil water and some dish detergent, then spray it on the clutch assembly ( the metal round pc. Connected to the tranny) if it sizzles and steams up then u know its bad and slipping. Another way to check clutch if u get no spin at all? Is to take it out and use ur hand to try and turn the inner spring assembly pushing it around the inside? If its very easy, it BAD should be hard to push by hand.


Next check the motor coupler which engages the tub and tranny to the motor. ( if its bad u usually get no wash or spin or very little of either)

Next check for a loose, worn or broken belt if belt driven.

On some front load models u may need to check the STATOR assembly.
The stator is essentially one half of a motor, it interacts with the tub by creating a strong electro-magnet. If the stator burns out the washer won't spin or agitate. Check the stator for continuity. This part is often misdiagnosed.

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.

Hello,for your machine to agitates slowly, the problem is probably the agitator dogs or coupler is probably bad.
The agitator dogs are located inside the agitator and the coupler is the one that connects the motor to the agitator.
Thanks

when you try to spin the Agitator dose it spin freely both ways if so the DOG EARs are stripped and need replacing Take cap off top off agitator to access the bolt holding the n in place and the Agitator off

Should be in the manual or advertising info. Go to frigidaire.com and you should be able to find it. Thanks, please leave feedback or contact me again for more info if you need it.
