A pro washer for your home

Love the large capacity and elegant features. Washing clothes is easy and most washes use less water and time. Dispenser tray could have been better (feels cheap). Only disappointing thing is that during humid days, the washer does have a slight moldy smell despite stainless steel interior.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love how quickly it washed each load.

Bought this washer about a month ago after mine broke beyond repair. So far, I like it a lot. Works quickly and gets even my husbands concrete construction clothes clean. Is quiet enough to leave the laundry room door open.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terrible reliability

We purchased this machine in May of 2014 and it has broken down on us twice. 4 months ago the machine needed the bearing and drum replaced. Now, just 4 months later it looks like we have the same issue again!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great looking machine! Not so great performance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are on our second one of these washers because the first one had to be repaired so many times. The new one, which we have had for less than two months, is doing some of the same things as the old one. Extremely noisy, doesn't add any water for some loads, or doesn't spin at all for others. Do not buy this machine. We can't wait to get rid of ours.

Hi DavidGeorge, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We certainly hate to hear that your washer is not working properly for you. I would check the washer to ensure that it is not overloaded or too small of load. You may find adding an item or taking an item away will help. Also, a restricted drain hose won't allow the washer to completely pump out - preventing it from going into spin. If you still have a questions, please contact us directly for further assistance. Thank you, Jennifer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with our purchase. Even the chime to tell me its done with the cleaning cycle - it's very polite, for lack of a better description.

Door issues
on October 14, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this washer in February and I am already having trouble getting the door to push open.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Pweck, I am sorry to hear you are having an issue with the door opening. Water on the bellows may have dried, leaving a residue on door glass. Clean residue from door glass and wipe front of bellows opening with warm water and if issue persists, wipe front of bellows opening with Lemon Pledge® spray or wipes. Your friendly Frigidaire lady, Ruth

Love it and hate it too!

I have had the washer for just over 2 years and had to have it repaired 2 times the first year with the entire drum assembly as they sited a manuf defect. Now the belt keeps coming off. I love the machine due to it being extremely quiet and cleans fairly well but not dependable. The matching dryer has a few areas where clothes get snared (lint trap and two strips added on the inside back of the dryer drum-dumb design)

Thank you for sharing your washer experience with us, Jacilu. I am pleased to hear you love how quiet and how well the washer cleans. I regret to hear that your belt is coming off. Was the drive belt replaced with the drum? Sometimes the drive belt comes off. If it does, examine it for excessive fraying or wear. If it’s a belt with several track grooves in it check they are clear and not worn down badly or covered in rubber. The belt might need replacing but occasionally the belt looks fine and you can wind it back on, which gets it up and running again with no further incident. Over time, the drive belt dries 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. The drive belt should be fairly tight, you should be able to pluck the belt and get a nice resounding “ping”. A loose drum pulley is the most common cause for the belt coming off. The pulley should not be able to be moved, apart from obviously round and round as it turns the drum. It should be bolted firmly to the drum spider with no play in it. If the drum pulley bolt has worked loose the pulley can move forward and backwards and will not run true. Sometimes the pulley itself can be worn where it fits over the drum spider so that even with a sufficiently tightened pulley bolt it won't be held in place tightly enough and will wobble. Warning: Do not over tighten the drum pulley bolt because if it shears off you are in trouble, and unless you can remove it with special tapping tools or other methods you might need to buy a complete new drum or even entire tub. I strongly suggest seeking service for this issue. Your friendly Electrolux lady, Ruth
