FWTR425RHS0 Frigidaire Washer - Instructions

I removed the bottom front panel ( 2 screws) and about 8- 10 inches back were the shock absorbers...the one on the left was easiest nothing in way I squeezed the locking tab and pushed the pin thru to remove the shock absorber...on the right side was a little tricky but got my arm round the drain hose and small pump and pushed that pin thru as well...installed new shocks and was good to go...I did call a local repair business here in belleview florida was told the shocks themselves would cost 37.00 for the pair and about 150 - 175 in labor...I paid 22.00 from parts select and did my own labor thanks for all the help...les

It took more time to remove the screws on the back panel..
remove back panel for better access..
remove speed access box on lower left side ( 2 screws) to get access to nylon pegs, squeeze down on tabs and pull out . the little tabs are on the oppsite side of the split nylon...
Replace shocks and nylon pegs..
reattach speed access box.
put the back on.....
easy job, the new shocks are part metal, make sure the metal side of shocks go towards the tub...

If you can tie your shoes you can make this repair. 23 Screws, 2 spring clamps, new part fit perfect, inspected old hoses and installed identical part. Wife says "it's working great"

First I unplugged. The machine from the outlet then disconnected the two water supply lines from the machine. Next I removed the back panel to gain access to the bottom of the drum. Next I took a nut driver and used it to depress the little tab on the push pin that hold the bottom part of the strut on. After getting the pins out I replaced the old strut assembly withe the new one. I used the nut driver again. But this time I used it as a set tool. Place the nut driver on the end of the push pin and gently tap with a hammer. Until the pin is all the way in. After that I reversed the assembly process to put the machine back together.

I removed the front panel used a screwdriver to press the tabs on the plastic retainer pins then used a hammer to gently tap each of the plastic mounting pins for the shock absorbers. The left side was very easy but the right side was more difficult due to 2 things. 1. I had to use pliers to remove the hose to gain access to the upper pin. 2. When I replaced the shock absorber the bottom pin had no room to hammer the plastic retaining pin due to a large plastic box directly behind the shock absorber which was not mentioned In the YouTube Partselect tutorial. My quick solution was to replace the plastic retaining pin backwards.its working great with no problems whatsoever .Thank you Partsselect!

Removed front access panel to get to shock absorbers. Removed mounting pins with hammer & pliers. Replaced both with dual-stage shocks provided in kit (Of course, piston side down). Getting to right-side shock upper mount was the only tricky part of removal & replacement. Otherwise, not too bad. This is a repair most anyone can do. Shock absorber kit solved vibration issues.

first off I watch the video on how to take this apart and how hard it would be for a women to do it. I then ordered the part from you guys which got here quickly and started the tore down with taking off the front panel on the bottom, unplugging the unit and turning off the water. then I got plenty of towels and started with unpluging the pump, and using a vise grip took off clamps, water drained out and replaced with new pump, when I restarted it still would not drained, found the filter which is located in the big hose itself that comes off the tub filled with hair and junk, you can take a needle nose pliers to pull out the clog or work the white plastic piece out to clean it all the way out then replace back into big hose. put back together and it works.. Thank you..

I can't believe how easy this was.I'm a grandmother with M.S.and everal other illnesses.If I can do it any one can..Thankyou for getting my part to me so quickly.I ordered it very late sunday night and I couldn't believe I got it eary Tuesday.thankyou,thankyou,thankyou.

The video is very good. I have a stacked unit and didn't want to remove the dryer. It was difficult (but not impossible) to get the pins removed and replaced. I made a removal tool by drilling a 15/32" hole into the end of a 1"x1" piece of wood. Taping on this closed the pin safety and pushed it out.

took the back panel off then removed the rubber belt. Using a screw driver to stop the pulley from turning I removed the bolt holding the pulley on. Replaced the pulley tightened the bolt back up again using a screw driver to stop the pulley from turning put the belt and back panel.

The parts arrived quickly! Partselect is great to work with! Found the new shocks are different; evidently a design change bt Electrolux. The new shocks have free movement before dampening, approx 3/4". Bottom front cover removed, puch in the tab on side of pin then push the pin out. I had difficulty getting the pin to go back in through the new shock but it was ok after I pushed harder. I tried the washer and was very disappointed. Harsh banging when spinning. It was obvious to me that the original shocks had failed as a result of whatever was still wrong with the washer. A search on the internet and I found that the inner tub support structure that is on the back of the inner tub develops cracks and or breaks and then when it spins, lookout! It bangs so violently that I think the washer will beat you out the back door! I chose not to repair the washer due to age and cost of repair. A quick check to see if yours has that problem: look inside the washer and you will see three places on the rear wall of the inner drum( the part that spins). Grab the inside lip of the drum near the front door right in line with each of the three places and pull toward you. You should have no movement. Mine had movement on one out of three, indicating that the support was broken. Good luck.

Took the back off the machine. pulled out the old shocks and installed the new. Put the back on. Simple

Traced the leak to the hose. Figured out the name of the part from a combination of the product manual, YouTube, and PartSelect.com's pretty-darn-intelligent parts guides. Used regular pliers to pinch the clamps, and removed the old leaky hose. (Wow, it smelled bad!) Yanked out the debris, then pulled out the coin trap by extending the accordion-like hose, to put in the new hose. Reattaching is really tricky, especially the end that connects to the pump. Make sure that the hose AND CLAMP get all the way onto each hard plastic connectors. A good pair of adjustable vice grip pliers, with half-inch-wide grips, helped a lot! Test the connection by gradually pouring a quart of water into the washer drum. If that holds OK, try washing a load of laundry, watching for any leaks before sealing up the front panel. Good luck!

Slowly took apart things to be able to get tub out and checked wear of parts. Our spider was in good shape, sounds like depending on your water the spider can in bad shape. Can't buy spider alone have to get $250+ assembly if that is bad. All other parts looked OK so ordered and replaced gasket and cleaned up other items as re-assembled. Takes time, but is do-able. Best with 2 people. Used youtube video to step through disassembly. After putting it back together no leak.

Followed The instructions provided by "Part Select". Having a stacked washer & Dryer I removed the dryer and the electrical and water connections and the back panel on the washer. After that disassembley was relatively easy. Unfortunately, I got over-zelaous and removed more than I had too. Once apart I found that the Spider Arm on the Inner tub was broken. Bought the parts and reassembled in reverse order using the photos I took upon disassembley. (Trusting memory is not always the best way to go) The thing that irritated me was not being able to purchase the Spider Arm separate from the Inner Tub. Apparently Kenmore wasn't satisfied with their profit margin so they found a way to jack the price up. Regardless, I saved a lot of money and the Washer is running like a top. Parts delivery was as advertised.
