FAFW3001LW1 Frigidaire Washer - Instructions

Took the top off the washer, removed the valve, installed the new one, back in buisness. It was so easy to order the part, and have the repair done in no time.

Just like the video said in the parts menu remove front of washer remove 2 screws remove 2 hose clamps replace pump replace 2 screws replace hoses and clamps and front door to washer done

Removed the 4 screws holding the top on. Pulled top forward to release front catches and stood top up out of way. Removed 2 screws holding door lock. Could not unplug wire plugs from door lock because wires too tight. Removed 2 screws holding lower front panel and removed panel. Pulled door lock down and unplugged old lock and plugged in new lock. It was easier to position door lock to reinstall screws by working from top, so top removal wasn't a total waste of time. Reinstalled front panel and top. Machine works.

Tilted the washer back to take the 2 screws off the bottom to remove bottom plate. Took the 2 nut screws from the bottom of the face plate so that the front of the washer would pull slightly out from the bottom. Removed the 2 screws from the door stricker plate which allowed the door lock assembly to come out through the side of the washer. Unplugged 3 plugs, plugged the new switch in and slid it back into place, put the 2 screws back in to hold it. Reattached the front and the bottom plate. And bingo done. It worked and saved us about $245.00. Very happy!!!

After getting a quote for $140 for a repair, I decided to try ordering online and hope for the best. I am delighted to say it was incredibly easy! All I had to do was remove the broken valve by unscrewing the water hoses with a wrench and remove two screws that held the valve on with a screw driver. Next, I popped in the new piece, replaced the screws with the screwdriver and attached the hoses, then tightened them with the wrench. Very easy! 10 minutes total.

Very simple hardly worth writing about.

Unscrew the the bad part, screw on the new part

I was amazed at how quickly my part came for the washer and it came to me on a Saturday

Nothing to it rteall. The great thing was how fast this company got the part to me!

unscrewed the 2screws from the striker on the washer door first. Then put screwed new striker on door with its new screws. It was a piece of cake.

ordered the part and got the part in three day. A no hassle experience. Installed the latch and eureka! Fixed!

Washer error code said control board($200.) but this web site said Door Lock and Switch assembly($80). Web site was correct, thankyou for saving me money and time for the real repair needed.

with the help of my nephew, we unstacked dryer after power sources were shutoff first. then simply removed the two screw attaching lid on washer. then removed two screws holding switch from front of machine. fished switch up to a visible area, exchanged bad for good. fed switch back to it's home,then reversed assembly procedures. these forums are great and have saved me money by enabling the repair both washer and dryer at a very reasonable cost without the need of a certified repair person.

with a code it gave me i was able to determeine it was the door lock switch it was so easy it was unbelievable

The door assembly did not fix the problem this time, it was the control panel that had to be replaced. I have replaced the door assembly in the past, and I am glad I have a spare on hand. They do go out over time from the pressure of large batches of clothes. I am "no repair man", but having someone come out to replace it for you is a $300.00 job, easily. Read the tech info for your error code and go from there.
