Hello Friend, this is Z. That's a great question!
I understand you are seeking the location of the coin trap on your Frigidaire Affinity washer. Typically, the coin trap is located inside the sump to pump hose, inside the cabinet and under the tub. Hope this information helps to some degree! If there is anything else that I can help you with, please feel free to reconnect!

Just fixed mine, only I did not have to take it all a part. Just tip it over and reached in thru the opening in the bottom. Took the clamp loose with a phillips screwdriver and pulled the rubber off that contains the filter. Stuck my hand in the opening and pushed up on the filter from the bottom on the rubber container. Out came the filter and I cleaned it and pushed back down inside until it was past the lip that held it in place. Works great, took about 10 mins., not bad for a woman, huh. Thanks for the info, could not have done without your diagram and information.
SOURCE: How do you get the
The 7000 model and probably yours too, does not have a small front panel at the bottom that comes off. You can't access it from the back. The four screws at the bottom of the full front panel come off-- then go to the back and take off the top. Remove the screws at the detergent/softener drawer, and take it out-- remove the screws on the control panel and it can lay on the top of the machine... you can then get at the top screws on the front control panel... remove them and before taking it completely off... remove the contacts in the right side of the door by removing the two stainless screws similar to the ones removed from the detergent drawer. You should be able now to pull the front panel to access the boot.. Be sure to pull out the coin trap fully and rinse everything out... when putting it back be sure all the clamps and brackets are replaced properly or it will leak.

Hi - To check for a restriction in the drain line you will need to follow the steps below: 1. Unplug the washer 2. Pull the washer out to tilt it back so you can reach the screws below the front panel and remove it. (You will need something to catch the water once the hose is removed from the bottom of washer) 3. Loosen the bolt with the sliver clamp on the bottom of the washer. The water will begin to come out while your loosening the clamp. (Do not remove any GREEN clamps) 4. Once the water is out, you can stick your hand inside the hose to clean it out.
Thanks for your post, friend!
I understand that you looking for steps on how to clean the coin trap on your Frigidaire washer. Here are the steps to access the coin trap.
· Assure power has been disconnected to your appliance.
· Tilt the unit up to where the front feet are in the air and the back feet are still on the ground. Please make sure it is tilted up safely.
· Look inside on the bottom right hand side there is a black accordion piece. This is the screen trap or coin trap.
· Have towels available with you because any access water will come out.
· At the top of the coin trap where it is attached to the drum you will notice a silver spring and screw. Loosen the screw and wiggle the coin trap out.
· Clean the trap and follow these steps in reverse to reassemble your washer.
Best of luck! -Matt
Hi footitrncs- Here are some generics instructions on how to clean out the pump. I advise to please be very cautions.
1. Unplug the unit.
2. Tilt the unit up to where the front feet are in the air and the back feet are still on the ground. Please make sure the unit is propped up safely.
3. Now that the unit is propped up look inside on the bottom right hand side there is a black looking accordion thing. This is the coin trap.
4. Clean the drum out with as much water as possible and have towels ready. The next step you will have the remaining water come out.
5. At the top of the coin trap where it is attached to the drum is a silver spring with a silver screw. Loosen the screw and wiggle the coin trap down from the drum.
5. Reach inside the coin trap and clean what is inside of it out.
6. Put the unit back together following the same steps backwards
However, if you are looking to replace the pump completely, I strongly suggest consulting a professional for further assistance due to the difficult location of the pump itself.

Hello Tony - Often when a unit does not spin it is because the unit cannot properly drain and dispose of the water and detergent solution. Does the drain pump make a humming noise? If so, there may be a restriction in the drain line or siphoning. Otherwise since it is such a complex unit I would recommend contacting a professional to have either the pump or timer diagnose. Also you might want to clean out the coin trap, filter trap, of the unit for extra security. This needs to be completed about every 6 months to prevent any issues.
