How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the washer is unplugged before opening any panels. Only qualified persons should work on live circuits.
- Check outlet and breaker: Plug a lamp or tester into the washer's outlet to confirm power. Reset any tripped breaker or GFCI.
- Inspect power cord: Examine the Frigidaire power cord for cuts or burns. Replace if damaged.
- Access main control: Remove the top panel and inspect the main control board for a blown onboard fuse or burnt components. Replace the fuse only if you also correct the underlying cause.
- Test incoming voltage: With appropriate safety precautions, verify that line voltage reaches the control board terminals. If voltage is present but the board is dead, replace the main control board.
- Reassemble and test: After repairs, restore power and confirm that the display lights and the washer responds to controls.
