 Washer doesn't stop agitating when spin tries to start Brand: Frigidaire Model Number: Gallery Age: 1 - 4 years
I have a frigidaire gallery soundsilencer plus tumbleaction washer (One of them expensivo front loaders),
about three years old. The other day it started making this awful buzz/grind noise so I investigated.
During the wash cycle the thing goes clockwise for several seconds, then counter clockwise
several seconds and then repeats. Then it stops, pump kicks in and drains the cavity.
Then the spin cycle NORMALLY starts up with this high speed jet engine sound spin. This is
all normal but during the pump cycle the wash cycle agitation does not stop, and then
the bad noise happens when the spin TRIES to kick in but can't because the wash cycle
is STILL going on.
So my questions are, do you think this is an electronic control issue, or a clutch
issue or something else, and whatever the problem, what to do to fix? On a scale of
1 to 10 on fixing stuff I'm about a 4 or 5, and would not be offended if the answer
is 'get a pro in'. In fact I'd welcome it if that is what I would eventually end up
having to do this.... |
