Frigidaire Front Load Washer Shrinking clothes

Some tissues are more sensitive to shrinking than others.
Some clothing cannot be machine washed or only at very low temperatures (hand warm).
Especially woolen fabric will shrink even at 40 degrees.
Be carefull with spinning at high RPM's.
Always consult the label in the clothing:

Turn down temp on your home water heater.

If you did not have good success with the unit - I would advise against getting another one.

Unless your hoses are reversed the machine control is bad and needs to be replaced. Please contact me if you need further help or leave feedback if appropriate as that is how I get paid. Thanks for letting me help you!

just change the door switch been there done that have the t shirt

Check first the filters on the cold inlet water line (both sides). Then, if problem is still exist - check that the inlet water valve works(it is an electromagnet valve, located at the pipe's entrance to the machine)). If it doesn't work, test that it get power. In case it get power and doesn't work - You can easily open the valve and clean it (from scale or other dirt). Be aware you should disconnect the power cable from machine before doing it !!!! Check as well for valve's coil resistance. In case you have no resistance measurement - you should replace it for a new one. Good luck
