Frigidaire ATF6000ES Front Load Washer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

it could be the problem but the first thing i would look at is the drain pump and check for anything that may be obstructing it from turning this will cause the washer not to run properly

E91 is for the control board failure and needs to be replaced. Here is the part to order. To replace the board remove the top of the unit.

You have to remove the rubber boot. It is very easy, just pull it off with your fingers. The spring is easy to strech most of the way around by hand, finish with a channel lock etc.

I was doing a search for infor on how to clean my affinity front load washer, and came across this infor and this did not work for me either, but when I turned my dial to rinse and spin then hit clean the clean option appeared.

"pause" isn't something you can reset exactly I'm afraid. Pause means that the washer door was opened mid cycle so all you should need to do is shut the door to restart the cycle. Unfortunately if it doesn't re-start, it means that your door latch assembly has failed and isn't sensing that the door is shut. You'll need to order and replace the door latch assembly to fix the issue. It's actually a fairly easy part to replace if you're handy. You'll need to unplug the washer and open the door to start with. Then there is a wire ring around the front lip of the rubber door gasket. Use a flat head screwdriver/needle nose pliers and pry the wire ring off. From there you can pull the gasket back out of the way. Remove the screws going into the door latch from the front and reach behind to replace the door latch assembly. Make SURE the door strike on the door isn't broken too. that's only a 6$ or so item. Here's a site for parts and a video on how to replace it. https://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Door-Switch/131763256/4547033?modelNumber=ATF6000FS1 Hope this helps you.

there seems to be a problem in the water pump as its not draining properly check that there's not a button or other debris in the system first eric

-Have you try to "Drain and spin " cycle to finished its cycle's program ? If not then try it. Good luck Mai

It sounds like the pump has stopped and may have sucked a sock or rag into it. May need to pull the washer out, remove the back. Unplug the washer and see if you can manually turn the pump/motor belt. It could also be the motor but I would check to see if they turn. If not, remove the belt and manually try to turn each and see if they turn.

Sounds like you got a broken drum spider usually due to overloading. And that's a major break down quite expensive but can be done.

Did you try pouring some white vinegar into it a few times? This may work. God-Bless! you might have to do this a few times, And let it sit for a bit.

the most common cause is worn out brushes in the motor, sme brands you can rplace the brushes others require a new complete motor

yes the water vale is defective it has goten a little piece of sand of something in it and it dont take much replace the valve and the problem will be gone good luck

you need a bearing puller to remove the pulley, huck the 3 lips on the outer of the pulley hub and tighten the bolt on the puller but not to fast nice and slowly and it will come off.

First of start by checking the rubber gasket seals around the door and making sure those are good and clean and dry. Then inspect the barrel itself. My daughter loves to leave scraps of paper in her pockets that then get stuck in my front loader. Clear any debris from the barrel. Does your machine have a small front access panel or back access to get to the filter? Most front loaders have some sort of filter on them apart from the barrel. If you can find this part, it is a common culprit. Mine is a tube shaped basket with a front access panel on this one. On the front loader before this one is was back panel accessable under the drum. when you check these have a bucket and some thing mop up with handy, towels, mop, etc. One other thing to consider is the drain hose from the machine. I have flushed mine using a garden hose in the yard and used a little bleach.

Maintenance tips for yourwashing machine maybe its the way to find the problem
