Know Your Frigidaire Washer
How Frigidaire Washers Are Built
A top-load washer will not spin with the lid open, so an open lid can look like a drain problem. Source: Frigidaire - Top loading washer Error Code E2 water takes too long to drain
Top-load models lock the lid during spin as a safety feature, and the lock takes roughly one to three minutes to release after the washer is stopped. Source: Frigidaire - Top Load washer lid will not open
What Frigidaire Says to Check First
- Washer not filling. Make sure both the hot and cold supply faucets are fully open. Source: Frigidaire - Top Load washer not filling with water properly
- Washer not spinning. Start with an unbalanced load: power off, wait for the lid to unlock, rearrange the clothes or add a few similar items, then restart. Source: Frigidaire - Top loading washer tub not spinning

What Rochester Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Rochester come down to the same handful of parts: the drain pump and filter, the lid switch or door lock, the drive belt or coupler, the inlet valve and the suspension.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.

In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
