Why does my Frigidaire front-load washer smell?

Odor usually comes from mildew in the door boot or detergent residue. Leave the door open between loads, wipe the boot and run a cleaning cycle. Using too much detergent can make the problem worse.

Is an old top-load washer in a Westerly Hills house worth fixing?

Frequently it is. Lid switches, couplers and belts on common top-loaders are inexpensive and quick to replace. If the transmission or tub bearing is failing on a very old machine, we tell you plainly that replacement may be the better use of the money.

Do you work on the stacked washers in west-side apartment complexes?

Yes. We repair stacked and compact laundry in apartment units, either for the property manager or for an owner who rents the unit out. Include the building, unit number and gate code when booking so the technician can reach the door quickly.

Frigidaire Washers: What We Check First

Frigidaire sells top-load and front-load washers, plus compact laundry centers that combine a washer and dryer in one tall unit. Front-loaders are the more common service call. They use a horizontal drum, a door boot seal, a door lock, a drain pump and an electronic control, while top-loaders use a vertical drum and an agitator or impeller. Laundry centers are popular in apartments and townhomes where space is tight.

Front-load door boot growing mildew and odor in humid weather
Drain pump clogged by lint or small objects
Door lock failure stopping the wash cycle from starting
Drum bearings or shock absorbers worn, causing loud spin

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our Frigidaire washer repair guide.

Top-Loaders That Fill but Won't Spin

Older top-load washers are everywhere on this side of town, and their most familiar complaint is a machine that fills and agitates but leaves the clothes soaking. Depending on the design, a worn lid switch, a broken drive coupler or a slipping belt is usually responsible. A washer that hums without moving may have a jammed pump or a failing motor part instead. Stacked units in apartments along the Tyvola and Billy Graham Parkway corridor have less room to work in, and a drain hose pushed too far into the standpipe can siphon water out mid-fill, which looks like a fill fault.

What to Try and What We Do

Unplug the washer, then check that the lid strike on a top-loader is intact and the drain hose is not kinked or crushed behind the machine. Do not run it again if water is on the floor. Our technician tests the switch, coupler, pump and motor, explains the cause and gives the price before starting. For duplexes and rentals, we can reach the owner for approval while still at the unit.
