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
- Lid won't unlock. Stop the washer and give the lid lock one to three minutes to release, since the lid stays locked during spin. Source: Frigidaire - Top Load washer lid will not open
- Washer draining slowly. Clear kinks or clogs in the drain hose, check standpipe height and diameter, and cut back on excess detergent. Source: Frigidaire - What should I do if my washer is draining slowly?
