FWX223LBS0 Top Load Washer Drain Issue
Posted by: | CommentsRemove the front panel and also the hose going into the small electric pump you’ll find right in front. If something is blocking the flow, it’s likely there. Other than that, the outlet from the tub may be gunked up. In this case, fill the washer on the lowest level with very hot water, add a cup of powdered dishwasher detergent and let it circulate a few minutes, then set the timer to drain.
tip: Never use drain cleaner in a washer..it will ruin the seals.
DLG2526W LG Dryer Rattle/Vibration
Posted by: | CommentsLG had a different repair company sent to check the dryer. Turns out the bracket holding the motor was vibrating against the bottom of the dryer. The tech wedged some foam between and it took care of the sound. Dryer runs very quiet now.
GLTF2940FS Frigidaire Front Load Washer Stops Running
Posted by: | CommentsGLTF2940FS Frigidaire Front Load Washer
This washer is just over a year old. It started turning off in the middle of the load. The display would also go out. After waiting about 15-20 minutes you could start the washer again.
I had to replace the control board to repair this washer.

DLE9577 New Drum, Rollers Too?
Posted by: | CommentsMission complete & Mama’s happy again – just stopped back to say, THANKS
I did not make clear, this was a DIY job
I did not spend the extra $80 and replace the rollers but did oil them & the tensioner – good tip
Based on all the lint build-up that was cleaned from the inside of the unit & vent, I set a clean schedule every 3 years. WOW, what a fire hazzard.
Thanks again, Boys

Posted by: | CommentsThe new MCU did the trick. The washer is working! My thanks to Repair-man and JWWebster for their help.
Here are some pics of the old MCU showing some electrical damage. From now on all my expensive electrical components will be used with decent quality surge suppression, etc. I mean, these things are as expensive as a HDTV, might as well give them appropriate protection.
