How to unlock a frigidaire washer
How to Fix #Frigidaire #Washer Door Lock Light Flashing | Washer Not Spinning | FFFW5000QW0
[Music]
the first thing we need to do is be safe
disconnect the appliance or turn it off
at the breaker to avoid electric shock
today we're going to be working on a
Frigidaire or electro loose model number
it's on the display the problem that we
have with this model is that the door
lock light is flashing all the time and
I put it on low speed the way you see it
is the actual door life that is flashing
and the customer says that it doesn't do
anything else but flashing the light if
they disconnected or turn it off or
cancel it
it will start but when they get to the
spin cycle
it would just quit and it won't do
anything else so they said that they
have to put it in a regular mode and
then put it to spin only and that would
do the job so I try a couple things and
I find out that if you put it on spin
only it will do the spin but if you do
if you put it in any other cycle it will
quit about the time you have to do the
spinner
apparently this has to do with something
on the door or the door watch that if
you put it in any other cycle
[Music]
the machine won't do the spin cycle it
will do the whole washing but it won't
go to the spin process so I spit up the
video on this part that way you guys see
that is going down the ash number is
going down but when it gets to I think
it's about around nine yeah
around 9:00 it well quit now
I'm checking make sure when it gets to
10:00 is when it started raining and I
just want to make sure it's draining
fine
[Music]
and as you can see is draining the way
it's a postal and the numbers are still
going down we got tonight now if you put
it in spend only it will do the spin but
for some reason if you put it in another
cycle when it reach nine and it's a
possible daughter spin and we just quit
[Music]
and it will go back to 15 which 15 is
the beginning of the cycle so I I don't
have the time where I put it on spin
only it did went all the way to 1 and 0
I'm checking make sure everything
insides not those or anything but I
already have done my homework and found
that is the door latch that has a
problem
[Music]
with the door launch now I already got
the part with me
and we're gonna begin replacing the door
latch or door lock for Frigidaire Frollo
or Electra loose washing machine
[Music]
I was looking for some information and I
find out that this is a very common
problem with this model so we didn't put
her in any test mode or anything because
it was the problem was very obvious is
flashing the door lodge and we already
know I done this repair a lot of time it
is always the door locks now if you want
to go through the whole on paperwork and
do a diagnostic test you can do that but
keep in mind that sometimes the
paperwork will say one thing and there
can be many other things going on so you
kind of learned this down the road with
your experience now we're gonna go ahead
and remove
the boat brain this is the ring that
secures the door board or door seal
however you want to call it to be able
to get to the door lunch now you just
going to press cancel then and turn it
off at the breaker or disconnected yes
to avoid electrocution or something get
damaged so you see I disconnected just
to be on the safe side now you're going
to use affiliate screwdriver or Phillip
head with a drill to remove this piece
of the door latch this is where is
secure at the door like so and now you
got access to the cables
yes to connect this connector from the
harness
I believe this tool wires they go
actually it's three wire that goes to
the indoor lodge and as you can see the
best thing to do is take pictures on the
one side by side just to make sure
you're not lost and trying to see if it
will fade one way or the other just try
to use your phone and take a picture
before you connect it before you
disconnect the other one and before you
connect the new one make sure they the
harness snap in place
[Music]
I got all three harness connected
secured all three stairs snap in place
[Music]
they can picture one right next to the
other one I always do that yes for
[Music]
secure purpose sometimes these are
tenants and the customer is not the
house and they want to know if we
actually
[Music]
replace the part we can't send pictures
and show them that everything was done
us we put it on the ticket and that's
how we tell the customer that we got our
done right and correct
[Music]
just getting some extra light I've got a
whole bunch of our flashlights but fun
was kind of Handy at this repair was in
the second floor so just used a little
bit of the phone to get a better like
for this video now as you saw that I
removed the other screws with your
screwdriver I mean with your drill and
I'm putting the the new one back and I'm
doing this screws with Philips
screwdriver the reason why is that this
screws are metal screws and they go in
to plastic part so if you put too much
torque and with the drill you can damage
the thread and the new part so I just do
it by hand to make sure it is done right
and it's not gonna be loose or stripped
or anything so that's the reason why you
see me doing it with my hand now we're
gonna put the door booth ring spring
ring and you can do it like so just grab
a needle know this you will need to much
forced to put it in and some of them
like the LG and Samsung and other models
you will need like a special tool to be
able to put the ring easy knock on the
door
[Music]
now we want to plug it back
[Music]
and
[Music]
we're gonna press Start and let the
cycle again and make sure it goes below
nine because right up and nine is when
we have the issue with the door lock
because around nine the countdown from
15 to 0 when I reach my it will quit and
never go back to 15 now just to let you
know guys this repair is already been
done
about three months after I make these
videos and we never hear from the
customer again
that means this repair was a success
and you can go ahead and go to the
description of this video and buy the
part in the links down below
[Music]
and we pretty much done
[Music]
that's it guys thanks for watching
[Music]
[Applause]
