My Frigidaire washing machine won't start. I push the START button which is also the PAUSE button and it says sensing and then it immediately goes to PAUSE. Is this 12 year old machine worth buying parts to fix it?
For model number FAFS4474LA0
Hello Myrna, thank you for contacting us. The issue is most probably related to the control board, part number PS3408296. It processes the cycle settings and manages electrical components to execute the cycle. According to our research, if repair is possible then it is always better than buying a new machine. Customer service is available 7 days a week if you require assistance placing an order. Thanks again for reaching out!

Hello Mark, thank you for contacting us. The issue could be due to faulty shock mounting pins. A broken suspension spring can also cause the washer to become unbalanced and it shakes when it moves. If shock mounting pins, part number PS417323, or the suspension spring, part number PS3408275 are broken or damaged, replace them. If these parts are okay, you may need to replace the shock absorber, part number PS8689635. We hope this information helps!
1. Unplug unit. 2. Unscrew 2 nuts holding top in place in rear of unit using phillips head screwdriver. 3.Slide top back and remove. 4. Open door of washer and unscrew 2 screws holding in door lock unit. 5.Pull out unit from the top and install new unit reconnecting the 3 wire connections.
Door lock takes a beating due to flimsy washer door which does not align well and subsequently gets slammed each time which causes lock to malfunction telling the washer that it is not locked. Due to safety the washer will not go into the spin mode. Remove top lid (2 screws) open washer door and loosed the 2 screws holding the lock assembly in place. Reach down into the washer and unsnap the 3 wire harnesses. Reverse to reinstall. Very easy.
Removed the screws holding the door. (One was stuck a little so used an air drill with Phillips head to get the torque needed but someone with a strong grip could have done it as it came out very easily). I removed most of the screws holding the front to back of door to exchange the hinge. There was a problem with the old hinge slopping around and not allowing the door to align properly when shutting it. The new hinge works better. See note*** below on doorframe. I pretty much was able to get the door back together and make it work. I then exchanged the door striker with no problem. It has a built in key so you cannot attach it incorrectly. The next thing was to just reattach the door to the machine and it worked right off the bat. ------------- *** Unfortunately, there were two screw mounts in the Outer Door Frame - Chrome Part Number: PS3495258 that were broken. This doorframe is listed as a $200+ chrome part whereas it is actually a plastic material that is extremely over priced for what it is. Like I mentioned two of the screw mounts had broken off so those screws are just "decoration" now. (These are screws that basically hold the back cover to the front cover). If this becomes a problem, I will simply modify what I have and make the screws fit before I spend $200+ on that part. (It looks like this could be drilled out and a long screw and nut run through to make it work. TELL THE WASHER OPERATOR… just be careful opening and closing the unit (don't slam the door but carefully close it) and it should work a lot longer. I might investigate the make up of a washer the next time I buy one … but the chrome vs. plastic is a hard one to spot. I hope this helps.
