Thank you. This was very helpful in figuring out how to access the coin filter. I have a few choice words for Electrolux after spending an entire afternoon fighting through this job, but I am very grateful to Appliance Parts Pros for putting together this video.
This was by far the most helpful how to video on repairing a Frigidaire Affinity washing machine that won't spin or drain. I followed each step by step instruction and completely restored full operation of our washer.Without this video we would would have went out and bought a new washing machine, This saved us hundreds of $$. The drain trap was full of gunk, wire,coins and the final culprit that seized operation was a bra pad insert. Also the actual repair wasn't that difficult. I can't thank you enough!!
Thank you so much for this video!!! I was able to fix my washer today by myself without paying for a service call and then found a $5.00 bill in the filter!! :) I was afraid of taking the front control panel and door off so I went in from the back access panel. Took me less than an hour. Works good as new!!!
@@jimdecker4079 @cindy Deskins I just got a shoulder pad, a quarter, and an Aggie sponsored 16 pc chicken nugget card. Didn't know stuff could get stuck down there like that!
I want to thank you so much for this extremely clear set of instructions to deal with a truly terrible design. I have another washer, and LG, that takes about 15 seconds to clear the trap filter. This one involves two people (to get the dryer down) and then like at least an hour of work; hoping desperately that you don't break something or lose a screw. But your instructions are SO detailed and perfect that it makes a scary job just an annoying job. Thank you!
Awesome tutorial video. It saved me a service call, which would have been costly. I want to add, I used a spray bottle with water and dishwashing liquid, to wet down the insides of the rubber housing. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the video.
Outstanding guide -answered many many questions and saved me many hours of trying to figure out how to change the filter not to mention what i saved by not having a service call.
O M G‼️ This is a preventive maintenance type procedure. WHY would they make this so incredibly difficult? I’d rather just buy a new washer with an accessible filter and pump drain. In fact, if I don’t sell my house soon, that’s what I’ll be doing.
You could also just simply remove the back panel and the pump will be exposed. It's just that from the back it'll be an akwerd angle, so it's a little uncomfortable to try and reach to the pump. But it's possible.
Strange thing is I have an older Frigidaire front load washer and all you need to do is remove two screws at the bottom and a small kick plate comes off to exposes this. Unfortunately this manufacturer is purposefully making things very difficult so that people will buy a new instead of fixing. Or at least hire a service person instead of doing it themselves.
Appliance parts pros did a good job showing what to do. Electrolux on the other hand should hang their heads in shame. This is such a ridiculous design fail. We have our set stacked! So now I have to pay two strong people to come to our home and take the dryer off the washer so I can clean the filter. The delivery people already scratched the hell out of the top of the washer upon delivery. Who in their right mind would design an appliance this way?
Excellent video. Horrible design. Ours are stacked too. I was going to clean the filter because the washer is musty, despite leaving the door open unless it’s washing. It’d be easier to buy a new set!
We were able to do this by tipping the washer on its side and going through the access hole on the bottom plus taking the access panel off the back, that way you can reach through with both hands. There are also some small holes in the panels that you can see through! The worst part is getting those spring clamps back on. It would be worth buying a tool that does that. We put the spring clamp over the rubber part then clamped it together with a small vice grips, then put it in and released the vice grips.
True but they all suck, just in different ways. I just helped my daughter take apart her LG, it has a bunch of small recirculating hoses and they were all completely filled with gunk so they were impassable, so was the air hose.
This video is amazingly helpful! But good God this is such a massive design fail on the manufacturers part! It hurts my brain! Why would you put a filtering part that would need to be regularly serviced in such a ridiculously hard to get to place 🤦♀️.
I fix Appliances for a living and when I see a no drain complaint on one these I cringe . FYI I never take the entire hose off to replace that filter just the top clamp and work the filter up.
And why in the hell make it stackable? 🤷♀️🤦♀️ not everyone has a giant empty room to work? Once I get the dryer off the top I have no space to move,..!
This video is amazing helpful but the design flaw is insane! My unit is stacked and the dryer has to be removed in order to start the process! But my question is how in the world fid a man’s size 14 sock get out of the washer into the filtration mechanism? Please someone help me understand how this happens so I can prevent it in the future!
Excellent guide - - thank you so much. I don't know how you got such terrific shots, too. I got royally stuck on the air hose reassembly, but persistence paid off!
How nice that this filter housing is dry and no gunk garbage is found inside. No dirty water running on the floor after you disconnect the rubber housing. Amazing. And of course the washer is elevated so getting to the screws at the bottom of the front panel is sooo easy. Cute bullshit, Mr. Smartass Easyrepair in short pants. Show us the same eeeeasy job with filter plugged and water inside the washer. And the washer sitting tight between dryer and sink, close to a wall.. Well, I did it twice. It is a tough and dirty job. Finally my Affinity died gracefully and I bought a Bosch washer. With a simple revision door for the drain pump filter. So much for amazingly crappy design.
Holy Hell. My old washer just needed to flip open an access panel at the bottom, which exposed the filter. Then twist it out. 5 minute job start to finish and no tools needed!
After following this video and cleaning out the filter yesterday I would definitely recommend to NOT BUY this brand. For something so simple to have taken me so long is just pure lazy engineering.
At 5:34 into this clip, the technician disconnected the thin tube at the top of the drain hose. At 5:56, he pulled out this hose. Freeze frame right here and look at the black, nearly rectangular plastic at the top of the frame. That is the right, bottom corner of the counterweight, which blocked me from reconnecting the top, thin tube of the drain hose as easily as he did. This was most likely due to the fact that my Frigidaire washer model was LTF2140FS1, which has a bottom access panel that could be removed separately from the main front panel. Based on other YT clips on my exact washer model, I tried to reconnect the drain hose by having removed only the bottom access panel and wasted a few hours. The counterweight of the washer in this clip may have a greater ground clearance to account for the ease of access when reconnecting the drain hose at 8:31. Luckily, there were enough videos available of others removing the main front panel that motivated me to do just that. Plus I removed the counterweight; there were five, large bolts securing it. [If you decide to remove the counterweight, beware that it is heavy. I did not have a weight scale, but I estimate it weighed at least 35 pounds.] THEN I had easy access to complete the reassembly of the drain hose. I took some pics of the whole process. Thanks.
How to clean the filter on your Frigidaire washing machine in 600,000 easy steps! My favorite line from this video: "All You Have to Do." Repeated about one million and one times. Guys like me would have an easier time changing out the Flux Capicitor filter on a DeLorean Time Machine. Who designed this POS anyway?
This is a really helpful video. Honestly, wow. How... why... what the heck were they thinking placing the filter like that "Oh, all you have to do it take the entire machine apart to clean the filter, no big deal" Next one's a Maytag.
I basically knew how to do it but I didn't know how to take the front panel off that was my problem this video it helped me out with the spring that goes around the gasket in the front of the door very good video thank you
Mine drains and spins in the first cycle but not the 2nd without doing some button tricks. So the pump works. I replaced the door lock and still doesn't work. Why would the pump work at all if it is blocked??
I left the door on and just removed top and front lower panel and was able to do it from the front Hardest part was getting that stupid boot on..I suggest swapping the stupid pressure clamps for worm clamps that are much easier to deal with I found dish soap on the boot helped it slide onto the pump
I took mine apart only to find that the filter wasn't clogged, so something else. There were a few coins in it at the bottom but not enough to prevent it from functioning. There was nothing big and obvious as most of you found. I also found the service manual under to top cover, and I did the error test and get E45 - Control Panel. I'm looking that up next.
I just wanted to clean the filter but think I'll wait til it stops draining. Where is the access door to filter? This was not designed for general cleaning.
Dam this is sooo tedious . I was hoping to help clean my parents Frigidaire washing machine but the dryer is sitting on top of it in a narrow closet and no way I can easily take them out and put them back myself . And she is in no condition to help me lift them out and put them back . 😒
Thanks à lot you know really how to explain I did it by my self following all your instructions. The only difficulty i had is putting back the green rings in thier place. But I did it.
What would be the reason to make this repair? Would this fix my washer being smelly sometimes? I regularly clean the washer and occasionally clean out the drain hose, but still have a bad smell sometimes.
What are the symptoms that tell you you need to change that filter? The holes in that filter look huge, like you would need a whole pocket full of change to clog it. And if you did clog it, why would you need a new one? with holes that big, couldn't you simply clear out whatever was blocking it?
We'd be happy to help you out with that! We offer free technical advice and diagnosis. You can give us a call at 1-877-477-7278 or you can chat us at our website: www.appliancepartspros.com/. We will need your model number to give you accurate advice, which you can locate using this tool on our website: www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx
If you put detergent on your fingers and on the spring clamp line it up from the top and on the sides then just pull down and it slides right into the groove
you got to be kidding me...most washing machines have a small opening at the bottom of the washer ...you open it, unscrew the filter opening and clean or replace it.... this is the worst design that I have ever seen... this would cost at least $150 to get the service tech to do this. What a mess....
Nice detailed video. Talk about a poor design as you know the drain filter like other things need maintenance and has to be cleaned & changed occasionally? Instead of just placing an inline filter up front like other companies for easy access they make you jump through a bunch of flaming hoops (disassembling and reassembling everything) with the possibility of breaking something along the way if not careful? What is sad instead of just routing a little extra tubing to the front with an easy access panel with a filter for they make doing simple maintenance a nightmare.
I'm pretty sure the sides have to come off before the bottom can be removed. Mine is EFLS617SIW0. But the bottom has a large opening. Another commenter said they leaned the coin filter using that access.
Or if you have a dryer sitting on top of your washer like me. You can just unscrew a few screws on the back to take off a small panel and get at it that way. Much faster than taking apart the entire washer lol takes me maybe 15-30min max.
We would need to know your model number to point you toward the correct part for your appliance. A single part can be compatible with hundreds of different appliances. Just because two washers use the same filter part doesn't mean that they would use the same pump. You can look here on our website to help you find the model number: www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Then you can give us a call at 1-877-477-7278 or you can chat us at our website: www.appliancepartspros.com/ and we will help you find the correct pump for your washer. We’re here to help 7 days a week.
There’s a large cover plate on the back, that all is this is accessible from. It’s there or four screws. Still a good video is something in the front needs changed
Jesus Christ what ridiculous amount of steps just to clean a filter! You have to disassemble most of the machine 😮 This company is trying to keep professional repairman in business as this is out of the skill level of average owner.
This went way way way easier than mine did.....taking it apart was great, putting the clamps back on the two hoses was almost unbearable! I almost threw it out the window, I was so frustrated
This design flaw caused me to cancel my Electrolux washer order. There's no other front load washer manufacturer (aside from Whirlpool, but big surprise there) that doesn't have an access panel for this filter on the front. Shame on Electrolux.
This is the biggest piece of junk I ever wasted money on and why I hate corporations. If you put clothes into this machine folded, they come out still folded! And smelly. We designed around this stackable unit and then they discontinued the size, so I cannot replace it without an expensive remodel of my whole room. I have had this whole machine apart to replace the bearing. The gunk that builds up in the back behind the tub where you can't access it to clean it is horrific. Centrifugal force spins all that stuff, a thick, sticky mixture of detergent, grime, lint, hair, to the back where it will never get washed off, and it smells like hell. You need a pressure washer to clean it off. I am old enough to remember when companies designed good products that worked well and lasted. This thing is a disgrace. I wish I still had my old Maytag top loader, it's probably still going strong.
Thanks for the tutorial, but I could never re-assemble a piece as ugly as that rubber connector w/o first cleaning it, along w/ the plastic parts w/ the calcium build-up. I'm a bit OCD (anal?) on that kinda stuff.
what a joke just to remove a filter? I just watched an LG with a door panelfor filter that opens at the bottom of the front panel no screws just opens and the filter is there. something to think about when designing your next washer!!!
Thank you. This was very helpful in figuring out how to access the coin filter. I have a few choice words for Electrolux after spending an entire afternoon fighting through this job, but I am very grateful to Appliance Parts Pros for putting together this video.
100% Agree, in the same boat. Tried to pull apart from rear of unit, but hitting roadblocks! Thanks Appliance Parts Pros.

You're welcome! I'm glad we were able to help you repair your washer and keep it going, rather than having to buy a new one.
Designer: “so how many screws you want the customer to remove and how hard do you want to make his life?”
Frigidaire: “yes and yes”
Thank you so much for this video!!!

That’s Very True..Its really Bad Design ..I have this Machine I only do it this service if got Completely stuck ,otherwise let it go..
Had i known about the before purchase i would have selected another brand/model... next time

No disassembly needed to access the rubber hose. Simply lay the washer flat on its back and access the rubber pipe from the underside. Simple

use needle nose vice grips

@@AMERICANPRIDE1100 Mine is.
Always helpful video ty for posting
How do you know if your filter needs replacement? I have a 10 year old washer..it smells when I wash clothes with it
If the filter is damaged or worn it will need to be replaced. It may need to be cleaned. You will just need to check it.
So this was a great help, however the last two clams took me over an hour and I wanted to just die!!!! I gave up and has a lot of bourbon
I have a question: would it be easier to just put the machine on its side and unscrew the bottom panel? Or would that complicated things?
I'm pretty sure the sides have to come off before the bottom can be removed. Mine is EFLS617SIW0. But the bottom has a large opening. Another commenter said they leaned the coin filter using that access.
I did everything but now "the sensing" light is not illuminating🙃.
If you just flip it upside down you can clean the filter without taking everything apart and it take about 5 min.
Really good video. Thank you.
Do the soap dispenser lock
Or if you have a dryer sitting on top of your washer like me. You can just unscrew a few screws on the back to take off a small panel and get at it that way. Much faster than taking apart the entire washer lol takes me maybe 15-30min max.
SaltCritters can you post a video of this. This is my situation, also.
Wrong model of washer
Excellent video, very thorough....

What kind of pliers are those

All this to just replace the filter. Goodness

Is not easy and quick job....that will take couple of hours

I wish I still had my old Maytag top loader, it's probably still going strong.
what a pain to install a washer filter
Are you f...kiddin me right now ??? Who designs a washer like that???
Thanks for the tutorial, but I could never re-assemble a piece as ugly as that rubber connector w/o first cleaning it, along w/ the plastic parts w/ the calcium build-up. I'm a bit OCD (anal?) on that kinda stuff.
How many "god damnits" does it take to do this job?
Almost all of them
Thanks Frigidaire, I just buy a different brand then.
Really helper. I used to do it at the back, uh Women!!! hahhahahah
I'm glad I bought Samsungs
Never gonna buy that!
what a joke just to remove a filter? I just watched an LG with a door panelfor filter that opens at the bottom of the front panel no screws just opens and the filter is there. something to think about when designing your next washer!!!
In other words don't buy this model
How about just cleaning it. Not just replacing!
That is definitely the worst and most time wasting ever. This guy actually sucks. Sorry guy!! But that is the hardest possible way to get it done.
Link to an easier way??
Eh...I think I'll just buy a new washer (not another Electrolux...)
