How to replace bearing on frigidaire affinity front load washing

Hello gen0313 - From what you are describing it sounds like the unit could possibly have a broken shock/bearing or damaged tub. A certified technician will need to accurately diagnosis the bearing and pulling system behind the drum for repairs.

Hello Gary Sargent - From what you have described it sounds like you either have a problem with the belt, front and/or rear bearing, or a loose connection with the motor or drum. I recommend contacting a professional to accurately diagnose the issue, the part(s) may have to be replace depending if they are worn, damaged or loose.

Check if there is any gap or if the bearing are worn on the agitator, check by pushing the agitator for any play. If so the bearings must be replaced,

yes as it it is spring loaded ,thier is only one bearing at the back but the support mounts are all spring loaded ,you could get someone to take the top off and make sure that the springs are all connected and one of the support brackets on the drum isnt broke off

The rear bearing is not accessible to grease. If you have a noisey spin that sounds like it is coming from the bearing it will have to be replaced. Most tub bearings on front loaders are preinstalled with the outer tub assembly. It is a major job to overhaul a front loading machine, requiring outer tub assembly, water seal kit and possibly tub gaskets. If not under a warranty it is not economical to repair.

If the washer fills with water, but will not start the wash cycle or spin, it is 1 of to things. the most common for frigidaire front load affinitys is the door lock assembly. I have had to replace numerous of these. if the door lock indicator is not on when it tries to wash, you need to replace the door lock assembly. if the door lock indicator is on, but wont wash, it is likly that you have a bad motor control board.
