FTF2140FS2 Frigidaire Washer - Instructions

With breakdown maual, I diassembled the door and reinstalled the glass and rehung the door and closed it. Turned on the machine and the bottom of the glass does not meet the rubber seal on the washer opening.

Took door lock switch out and fished out broken part. Reinstalled switch and installed new striker. Problem solved. Ordered extra striker just in case.

Remove screws take off striker .Put striker back on with screws back on

Tighten screws. Took 5 minutes

unscrewed old part. screwed on new part. it was a breeze.

The instructions that come with parts say to pull pins out with pliers. not much room to do that. I used hammers and punches where I had access and prybars nail puller an hammer to offset where the water outlet was in the way. I used a short handle hammer to install three of the pins. The third I used a prybar and spacer blocks.

The video was most helpful, and the left shock replacement went as shown. The sucker punch was getting to the right shock - much harder.
First notice video has washer on a stand. How nice to have had it up on a table. LOL As it was I tilted the machine back with a 6 inch block under the front. Still a bear to get to the shock, but w/ patience, doable even though you are flat out on the floor.
The old shocks were so bad that the pistons fell out once it was removed.
It takes some strength to get the pins through the new shocks, and as I have a weak left hand I had to resort to using a C-clamp to help. If I could have gotten my right hand in there I may not have needed it. Right hand did have to hold the clamp as it had to just catch the side of the pin hole since the pin is pointed and sticks out past the mounting bracket when seated.
I also ordered a spring but they both were still good.

Removed top by removing screws in rear. Removed front panel. Remove control panel from front panel. Remove printed circuit board. Found printed circuit board with melted part from the power surge. Ordered part. Mark the eletrical plugs,as you remove them so you put them back in order. Do not tip front over, you'll loose the little springs that push buttons out! Align two shafts so board will go back together. Reassmble in opposite order.

One new door handle two screws and 5 minutes later it was like new again. Saved a bundle by doing the repair myself.

After locating the two screws on the inside of the door, I used a phillips screw driver, in a counter-clockwise motion, to take the screws out. I then removed the remaining pieces of the broken handle and then positioned the new handle in the holes seating it firmly in place. The handle had to be held into place while I negotiated the screws back into the holes turning the screws in a clockwise manner.

Remove top of washer, remove door lock assembly,install new assembly replace top.

replaced the two shocks with the new ones by removing the pins that held the old ones in place.

Removed old shock abs. (both sides). The one side, I had to remove the speed control board to access the lower nut on the one shock. Install was fairly easy however, it did not fix the washer. Apparently there was something else (either a switch, the control board or the motor) needs replaced too.

love parts select have used them several times for parts great company

removed the old handle held in by two screws lined up the new handle and reinstalled screws

Remove front panel to expose shocks. It took some time to remove the old shocks, both were broken. The pins were somewhat difficult to reach and remove, especially the one on right for it was shoved up against the electric wiring box. We ended up putting that pin in backwards for the new shock because it was impossible to reach from rear. Putting the new shocks was easy it was removing the old ones that took most of the time. The washing machine is working perfectly now.
