The steps (highlighting the probable reasons your Frigidaire washer won’t spin clothes dry) include:

Step 1 – Look for possible power fault

Sometimes, the washing machine runs with a power fault, but the difference is that it doesn’t complete a spin cycle. And if the washer aborts the spinning mid-cycle, you’ll have wet laundry at the end.

In that case, consider these two issues:

The power cord might be loose – If your washer’s power cord is not well plugged in, the washer won’t get adequate power to complete the cycle. So, you’ll likely have wet laundry.
You are using an extension power cord – Unlike a wall socket, extension cords fail to deliver 100% of power to the washer. So, your Frigidaire washer may be unable to complete a spin cycle, resulting in the wet laundry.

Fix

Check the power cord to ensure it’s not loose. If it is, plug it in firmly.

Speaking of plugging the power cord, consider doing it into the wall outlet. Avoid extension cord unless you have a powerful and reliable option.

Step 2 – Inspect the washer; it could be out of balance

Your Frigidaire washer should rest on a uniform surface. If it’s not, there is always the risk of the clothes becoming unstable. And once they do, they cannot spin evenly. So, you’ll likely have some wet laundry.

Fix

Consider adjusting your washer’s leg leveler if the washer looks out of balance. If that’s not possible, move it to a more even surface.

Step 3 – Check the laundry too; it could also be out of balance

It takes even laundry in the drum for the Frigidaire washer to turn smoothly and spin-dry your clothes. If the clothes heap on one side, they may not spin at all, and if they do, the heaps will drip wet at the end of the cycle.

Fix

Check your laundry load to ensure it’s even. If it’s not, redistribute it evenly in the drum.

Step 4 – Recheck the laundry; it could be excess

Excessive laundry is just as serious as imbalanced laundry. So, if the laundry is not out of balance, confirm that it’s also not excess. Generally, you shouldn’t fill up your washer’s drum to the full.

If you do, it becomes hard for the clothes to spin, and if they do, they’ll not do it perfectly. Thus, some of the clothes will turn wet.

Fix

Reduce your wash laundry to about ¾ full if the washer is overloaded.

Step 5 – Test the washer’s lid/door for fault

The washer may spin with a faulty lid (top loader) or door (front loader) but incompletely. So, it’s worth testing them. In particular, check the following:

Faulty switch – A broken or malfunctioning lid switch prevents your top-loading Frigidaire washer from completing the spin cycle. Thus, it could be why your washer won’t spin dry the clothes.
Faulty latch – A faulty latch, just like the lid switch, hampers the Frigidaire front loader from completing the spin cycle. That’s because the washer door is unable to close correctly.

Fix

Using a multimeter, test the lid switch or door latch for continuity. If you don’t get any reading, replace them.

Step 6 – See if there’s excessive Sudsing (suds formation)

Putting too much washing detergent in the Frigidaire washing machine doesn’t help. It creates soapy clothes which are likely to drip wet.

The soap contributes to what we call suds lock, which is when soapy bubbles hold extra air pockets, which slow down the spinning and wets the clothes.

Fix

Avoid putting too much detergent in the washing machine. And if you have a front loader or HE Frigidaire washer, don’t use non-HE detergents as they are too soapy. Use HE detergents instead.

Step 7 – Look at your washer’s drainage

Typically, bad drainage equals bad spinning, and bad spinning equals wet clothes. So, you cannot overlook the drainage when your washing machine doesn’t spin your clothes dry.

Overall, here are the drainage issues that could cause your Frigidaire washer not to turn the laundry dry:

Blocked drain hose – The drain hose clogs by dirt or debris build-up or by kinking (twisting). And once that happens, the washer’s wastewater cannot drain, and a part of it back-siphons to wet your clothes.
Clogged drain filter – Wastewater from your washing machine can only drain if there are no obstructions on the drain filter. Sadly, the drain filter sometimes clogs with dirt to hinder water flow, soaking the laundry in the tub.
Dirty drain pump – The drain pump finds it difficult to pump out the washer’s wastewater when it’s too messy. So, there’s always the risk of the drain water siphoning back into the tub.
Drain pump malfunctioning – A malfunctioning drain pump cannot pump out the washer’s wastewater leaving the water in the tub to wet the clothes.
Wrong drain pipe height – The washer drain pipe height shouldn’t exceed 8 feet. If it does, the drain pump will have difficulty pumping out the drain water.

Fix

Consider cleaning the drain hose, drain filter and even pump with Affresh drain cleaner to reduce the dirt clogging. If the drain hose is twisted/kinked, straighten it out to eliminate the kinks.

And if the drain pump is damaged, replace it. Meanwhile, keep the washer’s drain hose pumping height under 8 feet.

Step 8 – Consider a potential spinning problem or weak spin

Having mentioned bad spinning under step 7; it’s essential to highlight several other causes which interfere with the washer spinning.

If the washer’s spin is weak, it won’t complete the cycle, and thus the chances of having wet clothes are much higher. As far as weak spinning goes, watch out for any of these causes:

Wrong spin cycle – There is always the chance that you’ll end up with wet clothes if you select no spin or low spin for the bulky load. The same goes for using gentle/delicate settings on bulky garments.
Component malfunction (washer belt, motor coupling, or clutch) – If the washer belt is loose, stretched, or cracked, it won’t spin the drum properly. The same goes for a defective motor coupling or clutch.

Fix

Ensure you pick the right spin for your clothes. Choose a fast spin for your washing machine when handling a bulky load. Additionally, replace the washer belt, motor coupling, or clutch if any is faulty.

Step 9 – Observe the water inlet valve; it could be loose and leaky

The last check is the water inlet valve. If this component is loosely fitted, water will leak internally into the drum, soaking your clothes wet.

Fix

Tighten the water inlet valve if it’s too loose. If it looks faulty, replace it.

Frigidaire Front Load Washer Not Spinning Clothes Dry

Several reasons could explain why a front load washer is not spinning dry clothes. The commonest include:

The washer’s door latch could be faulty, hampering the door from closing well and the washer from turning optimally:

You might be using an excess detergent
The load could be extra, bulky, or out of balance
The washer could be out of balance
Potentially bad drainage

Frigidaire Top Load Washer Not Spinning Clothes Dry

As far as a Frigidaire top-loader filing to spin-dry clothes go, here are the most likely reasons:

A faulty lid switch that’s preventing the lid from shutting well and the washer from spinning correctly
Laundry imbalance or clothes jamming
Defective washer belt that won’t turn the washer correctly
Faulty motor coupling
Washer imbalance

Frigidaire Affinity Washer Not Spinning Clothes Dry

Since a Frigidaire affinity is a front loader, its reason for not spinning clothes dry could be any of these:

Washer or laundry imbalance
Excess detergent, mostly non-HE (non-high-efficiency)
Bad drainage due to pump malfunctioning or drain clogging
Faulty door latch

Closing Remarks on Frigidaire Washer Not Spinning Clothes Dry

Now you know what to check when your Frigidaire washer won’t spin-dry your clothes. With the above 9-step guide, you wouldn’t need anyone to help you troubleshoot the washing machine when it develops a problem. But if you are unsuccessful with the nine steps, talk to Frigidaire or any washing machine expert.

Frigidaire Washer Excessive Noise

Shipping bolts have not been removed

If the washer is new confirm the shipping bolts and packing material have been removed.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Tub Bearing

The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing both the outer tub and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the components together.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Tub Seal and Bearing Kit

The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the washer is noisy during the spin cycle or is leaking from the bottom of the tub near the transmission, the tub seal and bearing are likely defective. Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing the outer tub and bearing at the same time.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Rear Drum with Bearing

The rear drum has a bearing or bearings in it to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the tub bearing system is defective the washer can become very noisy. On some machines bearings are sold separately from the rear drum, however we recommend replacing both the outer drum and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the components together because removing and pressing in the new bearing can be exceptionally difficult. Be aware that replacing the outer tub and bearing is also not easy and can be very costly.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Bearing

Improperly balanced load

Confirm the load is balanced. If there are light items and heavy items in the same load the tub will spin out of balance. Wash items with aproximately the same weight together to better balance the load. One or two items will likey shift to one side and cause the tub to go out of balance. You may have to add more items to even out the load.

Washer not level

The washer should be level with the feet sitting firmly on a solid floor. Level the appliance and adjust the legs if necessary.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Drive Pulley

The drive pulley might be worn out, cracked, loose or bent. Remove the drive pulley and inspect it carefully. If the drive pulley is damaged or defective, replace it.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Pulley

The drive pulley might be worn out, cracked, loose or bent. Remove the drive pulley and inspect it carefully. If the drive pulley is damaged or defective, replace it.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Shock Absorber

Many front-load washer tubs use shock absorbers to dampen tub movement during operation. If one of the shock absorbers becomes dislodged or breaks, the tub may begin shaking and hitting the sides of the washer cabinet, making a loud noise when the appliance is in the wash or spin cycle. It is recommended to replace all of the shock absorbers at the same time to reduce uneven wear.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Suspension Rod

A top-load washer tub is usually supported by four suspension rods. If one of the suspension rods becomes dislodged or breaks, the tub may begin shaking and hitting the sides of the washer cabinet, making a loud noise during operation. Suspension rods will often come in a set of four and it is recommended to replace all four of the rods at the same time to reduce uneven wear.

Foreign objects in the tub or pump

Foreign objects such as coins or safety pins may be in the tub or pump. Inspect the tub for foreign objects that may be rattling around. Most front-load washers have a cleanout to keep items from getting to the pump impeller. Check the cleanout if needed.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Motor Coupling

The motor coupling might have failed. The motor coupling connects the motor to the washer transmission. If the washer is overloaded, the motor coupling will fail in order to protect both the motor and transmission. The motor coupling can also fail due to normal wear. Inspect the motor coupling to determine if it is broken. If the motor coupling is broken, replace it.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Clutch

The clutch assembly makes the connection between the transmission and the inner tub. It helps the tub to gradually get up to the proper spin speed. As the clutch wears out over time, it may become loud during the spin cycle or just after the spin cycle finishes. The clutch is not repairable—if the clutch is worn out, replace it.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Drive Belt

The drive belt might be defective. Over time, the drive belt can dry or burn out and starts to crack. Eventually, a piece of the belt can break off, causing the belt to make a loud noise whenever the motor is running. To determine if the drive belt is broken, inspect the drive belt. If the drive belt is broken or damaged, replace it.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Belt Kit

One of the drive belts might be defective. Over time, the drive belt can dry out and start to crack or burn. Eventually, a piece of the belt can break off, causing the belt to make a loud noise whenever the motor is running. To determine if the drive belt is broken, inspect the drive belt. If the drive belt is broken or damaged, replace it.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Shift Actuator

A shift actuator is the component used on top-load washers to change the tub rotation from agitate to spin. If the washer is making a loud noise during operation, you should inspect the shift actuator for wear, damage, or noise and replace if necessary.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Transmission

The washer transmission might be worn out or defective. Transmissions have gears in them that can fail causing the washer to to be noisy during operation. However, this is almost never the case. Before replacing the transmission, first check all of the other more commonly defective parts.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Drain Pump

If the washer is making a loud noise while draining, the drain pump might be clogged or defective. Sometimes, small objects or articles of clothing can get caught in the drain pump. To determine if anything is blocking the drain pump, remove the drain pump and check the pump for obstructions. If the drain pump is clear of obstructions, but is still noisy during the drain cycle, replace the drain pump.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Drive Motor

The drive motor bearings might be worn out. Washer motors are normally very quiet during operation. To determine if the washer motor is defective, remove the drive belt from the washer and then run the motor. If the motor is still loud, this indicates that the drive motor is defective and needs to be replaced.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Water Inlet Valve

If the washer is noisy or loud, particularly when the washer is filling, the water inlet valve may be at fault. Over time, mineral deposits can build up inside the valve and cause a restriction. If the water inlet valve is restricted, it will make noise during the fill cycle. If the water inlet valve is defective, replace it. Do not attempt to repair the water inlet valve—taking apart the valve makes it susceptible to failure.

Frigidaire Washer Drainage Problems

Frigidaire Washing Machine Drain Pump

Sometimes, small objects or articles of clothing can get caught in the drain pump. To determine if anything is blocking the drain pump, remove the drain pump and check the pump for obstructions. If the drain pump is clear of obstructions, but is still noisy during the drain cycle, replace the drain pump.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Control Board

Since a washing machine control board provides voltage to nearly all of the washer’s electrical components, a faulty board may not be sending power to the drain pump during the drain cycle. You can inspect the board for signs of burning or a shorted-out component. You can also use a multimeter to test for incoming power to the drain pump after reviewing the appliance’s wiring diagram. If no voltage is present when the washer is in the drain cycle, it’s likely the control board is defective and will need to be replaced.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Timer

On some washing machine models, a timer is used to determine when voltage is to be sent to the washer’s electrical components. A faulty timer may not be sending power to the drain pump during the drain cycle. You can inspect the timer for signs of burning or a shorted-out component. You can also use a multimeter to test for incoming power to the drain pump after reviewing the appliance’s wiring diagram. If no voltage is present when the washer is in the drain cycle, it’s likely the timer is defective and will need to be replaced.

Drain hose is clogged or kinked

Check to see if the drain hose is kinked or crushed. If your washer “dances” during cycles, it may have moved and kinked the hose. The drain hose could be clogged with lint or hair. You can use a thin, long-handled brush to clean the hose.

Door lock or door latch obstructed

Remove any debris in the door lock or latch assembly. Any debris that is in the lock or latch can prevent the washer from working properly.

Obstructed Lid switch assembly or Door lock

Remove any debris in the door lock or lid switch assembly. Any debris that is in the lock or latch can prevent the washer from working properly.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Suspension Rod

If a top-load washer is not completing a cycle in addition to not draining, a broken suspension rod could be making the tub unbalanced and unable to spin or agitate properly. Inspect the suspension rods for damage and replace if necessary – it is recommended that all suspension rods be replaced at the same time for more even wear.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Lid Switch Assembly

The lid switch assembly prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. If the lid switch assembly fails, the washer will not drain. To determine if the lid switch assembly is defective, use a multimeter to test each of the lid switches for continuity. If a lid switch does not have continuity, replace it.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Water Pump Belt

Some older washing machines are equipped with a water pump belt. If the water pump belt is broken or worn out, the washer will not drain. Check the belt and replace it if it shows signs of excessive wear.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Main Control Board

Since a washing machine’s main control board provides voltage to nearly all of the washer’s electrical components, a faulty board may not be sending power to the drain pump during the drain cycle. You can inspect the board for signs of burning or a shorted-out component. You can also use a multimeter to test for incoming power to the drain pump after reviewing the appliance’s wiring diagram. If no voltage is present when the washer is in the drain cycle, it’s likely the control board is defective and will need to be replaced.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Water Pump

Sometimes, small objects or articles of clothing can get caught in the water pump which can prevent the component from pumping the water out of the tub through the drain hose. To determine if anything is blocking the water pump, remove the pump and check it for obstructions. If the water pump is clear of obstructions, but is still noisy during the drain cycle, replace the pump.

Clogged Pump or Hose

Foreign objects such as lint, coins, or safety pins may be in the pump. Most front-load washers have a clean-out to keep items from getting to the pump impeller. Check the clean-out if applicable.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Drain Hose

First, check the drain hose to determine if it is kinked, twisted, or bent. If the drain hose is bent, straighten it out. In addition, remove the drain hose and check it for obstructions. If the drain hose has any obstructions, try to remove them. If necessary, replace the drain hose.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Coin Trap

Some washers are equipped with a coin trap to trap any foreign objects that enter the drain. The coin trap should be checked and cleaned periodically. If debris continues to accumulate in the coin trap, the coin trap will become clogged, and the washer will not drain properly. If the washer won’t drain or is not draining properly, and the washer has a coin trap, remove the coin trap and clean it thoroughly.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Door Latch

The door latch secures the washer door shut during operation. Once the washer door is closed, the washer can begin operating. If the washer door is not latched shut, the door switch prevents the washer from operating. If the door latch is defective, the washer may not go into the drain cycle. The door latch can fail either mechanically or electrically. Inspect the latch for damage. If the latch is damaged or does not latch properly, replace it. To determine if the door latch has failed electrically, consult your washer’s diagram and use a multimeter to test each of the door latch switches, if applicable, for continuity. If one of the switches does not have continuity, replace the switch.

Frigidaire Washing Machine Door Lock

Inspect the door strike assembly for damage. If the door strike is broken, replace it. The door strike is not repairable—if it is broken, you must replace it.

Frigidaire Washer Water Leaks

If your Frigidaire washer is leaking, you require a fast and effective solution. Leaks at the front of a top-load washer are usually caused by a clogged or tilted overflow tube.

Clogs can happen from excess suds caused by using too much detergent or combining laundry products inappropriately. Overusing can easily happen in homes that have a water softening system. The washer can leak if it is overloaded or out of balance. Check to be sure the washer is level, reduce load sizes, and keep an eye out for the leak. You may have solved the problem.

If you have a washer that features a spray rinse function, interfering with the cycle by manually advancing the timer can cause the washer to leak. The manual advance can often cause the spray rinse cycle to go on too long and overflow.

Possibly, there’s a hole in the out-flow pipe so that the water leaks out. Even if the hole is the size of a large needle hole, your washing machine will unstoppably lose its efficiency. For a short-term solution, you can try self-amalgamating tape; it is specifically made to be water-resistant and forms a good seal. But with the leak, it is only recommended as a stopgap until you can notify the landlord or hire a plumber.

We recommend replacing the pipe with rigid PVC when you can. Silicon sealant (“caulk”) with any tape over it is good – see if your friends have an open tube. Move the ribbed pipe as little as possible since it looks hard to replace. If it was long and stable, you might just chop it at the hole and re-attach it to the machine’s hose.
