Frigidaire washer is not spinning

If your Frigidaire washer fills and drains but won’t spin, the issue could be a worn-out drive belt, a faulty lid switch (for top-load models),or a malfunctioning door lock (for front-load models). Additionally, a broken motor coupling or a defective control board may prevent the spin cycle from engaging. Start by checking for unbalanced loads or clogged drain pumps.

To reset your Frigidaire washer, unplug it from the power source for about 5–10 minutes. This can help clear minor electronic glitches. After plugging it back in, select a spin cycle and see if the issue is resolved. If the washer still won’t spin, you may need to inspect mechanical components like the lid switch, drive belt, or motor.

If your washer stops spinning in the middle of a cycle, it could be due to an unbalanced load, a clogged drain pump, or a faulty control board. Try redistributing your laundry to balance the load and restart the cycle. If water remains in the drum, check for drain blockages. If the issue persists, a more serious mechanical failure, like a damaged motor or sensor, may require professional repair.

Some common spin-related issues, like an unbalanced load, clogged drain pump, or faulty lid switch, can be fixed at home with basic tools. However, if the problem involves the motor, drive belt, control board, or other complex components, professional repair is recommended. If you're unsure or don’t have experience with appliance repairs, calling a technician ensures the issue is fixed safely and correctly.
