Thread: Frigedaire Gallery Front Loader won't run, door lock light on.

Its likely the spin control board assembly thats bad.

There is also a fuse on that spin control board, check it with a ohm meter to see if its good, should have continuity(0-1 ohm on your ohm meter).

Here's the spin control board for your model you can order here:

Spin control board assembly

All parts come with a 365 day full refund, even if you installed them.

In the bottom of your washer, you should have a tech. data sheet, it tells you what to check for when the tub is not turning if the fuse is good.

But 90% of the time when the tub does not turn at all in wash or spin, then its the spin control board.

Let us know what you find.

Thanks for the reply, should it fill with water, then not do anything if it is the speed control board? At this point it is not doing anything at all. IE not a single cycle will run. No fill, or drain. The only thing that happens is the door lock light turns on...

Exactly.

If the tub has water in it, it can't fill anymore anyway.

Ohm test the fuse on the spin control board.

The fuse in the spin control board is good (reading 0 Ohm). I should've stated earlier that water had been drained already. So even with it empty it is not filling with water.

Ok, next step.

Ohm the PTC on the door latch switch assembly.

To test the door lock switch:


Remove the door lock assembly and measure the resistance of the PTC.

The PTC is the wax motor on the door lock assembly. You will need an ohm meter to test that.

If it reads 1500 ohms, then its fine.

its easiest to get to it from the top panel of your washer, take the top panel off then reach your arm down and pull it up, remove the electrical connectors to it. The electrical connectors may only allow you to pull it up a few inches until you remove them.

Door lock switch is definitely bad, before reading this, I pulled it off, opened it up, and the copper wire inside had burned through.

So I will definitely be ordering this...my question is, could a faulty door lock switch have caused the breaker to trip? Or was something else causing the breaker to trip, and switching on the breaker and re-starting multiple times lead to the failure of the door lock switch?

I checked the pump motor (since it was right there) and it was reading 12.8 ohms, it should be in the 14-16 range? Could this have caused the breaker trip (both times it tripped mid cycle it was near the draining cycle)?

Its just the door latch switch you need to order then.

Your pump is fine, its close enough to 14 ohms.

Excellent, Part is ordered through the site. Many thanks for your help! Hopefully I will not be visiting back except to say all is well.

Ok, sounds good, keep us posted.
