 Frigidaire no final spin Brand: Frigidaire Model Number: FWT647GHS0 Age: 5 - 10 years
This washer has been operating fine until recently the bearing seal leaked and left us with black marks on the laundry and very loud final spins. After the "factory authorized" repairman left me with a half completed project (changed out the rear tub/bearing assembly-with a hammer! Then decided midway through that he had better things to do and left) I finished by constructing my own "bearing installer" (a piece of all-thread, a washer, a nut, a 1 5/16" impact socket, and a 15mm wrench) and pulling the inner drum shaft through the bearing. I then had to file the end of the shaft for approximately 1 1/2 hours to repair the damage done by the hammer (and the idiot attached to it). After installing the pulley and the belt, reconnecting the water hoses, and the drain hose I through in some dirty laundry and some detergent and started the regular wash cycle. It seemed to be normal until it came to the final high speed spin cycle. All it did was tumble the clothes back and forth slowly. When the cycle finally ended, the clothes were still soaked. I tried the various different cycles to see if the final high speed spin cycle worked on any of those, and it didn't. Do you think something was damaged in the midst of the other repair that was made, or is this the "5th Horse of the Apocolypse" trying to tell me something? |
