Section 1 Basic Information

Control

The control is mounted to the back of the console.
(See Figure 1-3) The control:

1. Provides power to the dispenser solenoids, wax
motor, door lock solenoid, drain pump and speed
control board.

2. Sends signals to the speed control board to tell it
what program to run and the heater control board to
control the heater.

3. Checks the status of the door switches, door light
switch, incoming water sensor and the drum water
sensor.

Drum Light Assembly (On select models)

The drum light assembly is made up of a 12 volt AC, 5
watt light that is embedded in the bellows, a push
button switch that is closed when the door is open, and
a step down transformer that reduces the voltage from
120 Volts to 12 Volts. (See Figure 1-4)

Figure 1-3. Control

Drum Light

Figure 1-4. Drum Light

A circuit in the electronic control turns the light off when
the door is left open for more than three minutes.
(See Figure 1-6)

Door Switch Assembly

The door switch assembly, located behind the front
panel, is a safety feature that prevents the washer from
operating when the door is open and locks the door in
the spin cycle. (See Figure 1-5)

Door Lock Assembly

The door lock assembly is made up of a coil, door
switch, switch actuator, locking fork, wax motor,
auxiliary switch and spin lock arm. (See Figure 1-7)

Door Switch

Figure 1-6. Light Control

Section 1 Basic Information

Door Lock Assembly (Continued)

When a cycle is selected and the start pad is touched,
the control board applies power to the coil. The
magnetic field of the coil pulls the locking fork down and
tries to pull the contacts of the door lock switch closed.
If the washer door is open, a tab on the switch actuator
prevents the contacts from closing and the locking fork
will not allow the door to be closed until the stop pad
is touched, removing current from the coil. When the
washer door is closed, the door strike pivots the switch
actuator out of the way allowing the magnetic field of
the coil to close the contacts of the door lock switch and
the locking fork locks the door. (See Figure 1-7)

The wax motor and spin lock arm are used to prevent
the door from being opened while the spin basket is still
spinning. Power is applied to the wax motor when the
washer is in spin. When power is applied to the wax
motor, it expands its piston within 30 to 40 seconds,
driving the spin lock arm between the locking fork and
switch actuator holding the locking fork down. At the
same time, the piston closes the door lock auxiliary
switch allowing the washer to go into spin. When power
is removed from the wax motor, it takes about 90
seconds for the wax motor to cool down and retract the
piston, pulling the spin lock arm back away from the
locking fork and auxiliary switch. This provides enough
time for the spin basket to slow its rotation down to the
wash speed before the door could possibly be opened.

Pressure Switch (Select models)

The pressure switch is mounted to the right side panel
under the top of the washer and controls the water level
in the washer. (See Figure 1-8)

The pressure switch is made up of a single pole double
throw switch, but only contacts 1 and 2 are used. The
contacts are controlled by a bellow inside a sealed
chamber. The chamber is connected by a hose to the
air bell located at the bottom of the washer attached to
the drain boot. L1 power is applied to the pressure
switch by the control. If the water level is below 1/2
inch from the bottom of the spin basket, contacts 1 to 2
of the pressure switch close, applying power to one side
of the (3) solenoids of the water valve assembly. The
other side of the solenoids is connected to neutral by a
relay contacts on the control board. When the cycle calls
for water, depending on the water temperature selected
and the increment of the cycle, the control board
connects one or two of three the solenoid coils to neutral
activating the water valve solenoids. When the corrected
water level is reached contacts 1 and 2 open, signaling
the control to remove neutral from the solenoids.

Section 1 Basic Information

Electronic Water Level Sensor

The electronic water level sensor is mounted to the right
side panel under the top of the washer and controls the
water level in the washer. (See Figure 1-9)

The electronic water level sensor is made up of an
electronic board and a bellow inside a sealed chamber.
The chamber is connected by a hose to the air bell
located at the bottom of the washer attached to the drain
boot. The electronic board reads the pressure in the
bellow and converts it into an electronic signal. This sig­nal is then sent to the control board which governs the
incoming water by connecting or disconnecting a neutral
line to the water solenoids.

Water Inlet Valve Assembly

The water inlet valve assembly is made up of a plastic
housing, 2 tubes, which the inlet water hoses are
connected to, 3 solenoids and a positive thermal sensor
The hot solenoid is connected to the incoming hot water.
The wash and bleach solenoids share a common input
cavity that is connected to the cold water supply.
(See Figure 1-11)

Figure 1-10. Inlet Water Valves

The hot and wash solenoids share a common output
cavity, with the bleach solenoid having a separate output
cavity. (See Figure 1-12)

Water Valve Operation

The (3) inlet solenoid valves are identical in construction
and operation. The valve body provides an air passage
with a large orifi ce and seat where the water can be
stopped. The outlet of the valve body empties into a
chamber. A moveable rubber diaphragm operates
against the valve seat to start and stop the fl ow of water.
The diaphragm is operated by water pressure. It has a
small bleed orifi ce outside the seat contact area, and a
large main orifi ce at its center. The armature of the
solenoid serves to open and close the main orifi ce.
The armature operates within a closed metal tube (valve
guide) which is sealed by the outer edge of the
diaphragm to the valve body. A coil spring holds the
armature down against the diaphragm main orifi ce when
the solenoid is not energized.

Figure 1-11. Water Valve Inlet

Figure 1-12. Water Valve Outlet

Section 1 Basic Information

The following line drawings and text explains basic valve
operation.

When the valve is in a closed position, the solenoid is not
energized. Water has bled through the diaphragm bleed
orifi ce placing incoming line pressure on top of the
diaphragm. The bottom of the diaphragm is essentially
at atmospheric pressure (open to the outlet) and the
pressure differential holds the valve shut.

When the solenoid is energized, the resulting magnetic
fi eld pulls the armature up into the valve guide. The
armature spring is compressed by this action. When the
armature moves up, it allows the water on the top of the
diaphragm to drain through the main orifi ce.

The diaphragm bleed orifi ce is much smaller than the
main orifi ce and will not admit enough water to maintain
pressure on the top side of the diaphragm. Thus, as the
pressure on the top of the diaphragm is reduced to
almost zero, pressure on the bottom lifts the diaphragm
off the valve seat, allowing a full fl ow of water.

Water Valve Open and Diaphragm Up

Figure 1-15.

When the solenoid is de-energized, the armature drops
down, closing the diaphragm main orifi ce. Water
continues to fl ow through the diaphragm bleed orifi ce,
equalizing the pressure and allowing the spring to push
the diaphragm down against the valve seat.

Water Temperature

When AUTO TEMP switch is set to HOT/COLD in the wash
cycle, the hot solenoid is activated and the bleach
solenoid is deactivated for all except the last fi ll in rinse.
For the last rinse fi ll, the wash and bleach solenoids are
activated. When AUTO TEMP switch is set to WARM/
COLD in the wash cycle, the hot and wash solenoids are
activated and the Bleach solenoid is deactivated, for all
except the last fi ll in rinse. For the last rinse fi ll, the
wash and bleach solenoids are activated. When the
AUTO TEMP switch is set to WARM/WARM in the wash
cycle, the hot and wash solenoids are activated and the
Bleach solenoid is deactivated for all except the last fi ll in
rinse. For the last rinse fi ll, the hot and bleach solenoids
are activated. When the AUTO TEMP switch is set to
COLD/COLD, the wash solenoid is activated and the hot
solenoid cycles to warm the water to 65°. For the last
rinse fi ll, the wash and bleach solenoids are activated.
When the TEMP switch is set to COLD/COLD in the wash
cycle, the wash solenoid is activated and the bleach
solenoid is deactivated for all except the last fi ll in rinse.
For the last rinse fi ll, the wash and bleach solenoids are
activated.

Figure 1-18. Positive Thermal Sensor

Auto Temp System

The auto temp system controls the minimum temperature
of the cold water setting (approximately 65°F.) and the
temperature of the warm and hot water setting
(approximately 90°F and 120°F). On select models
with a sanitary wash cycle, when the control is set to
sanitary wash, the water temperature is raised to 152°F
in the wash cycle. The auto temp system is made up of
the control board and a positive thermal sensor mounted
in the water inlet valve assembly. On select models, a
positive thermal sensor (drum sensor), a heater control
board, and a 1000 watt heating element located in the
bottom rear of the drum are added to auto temp system.
If the hot water supply in the house is below the auto
temp setting, the drum heater heats the water in the
wash cycle. (See Figure 1-20)

When a warm or hot temperature is selected in the wash
cycle, the control board connects the hot water solenoid
to neutral and cycles the center cold water solenoid off
and on to regulate the temperature. When a cold
temperature is selected, the control board connects the
center cold water solenoid to neutral and cycles the hot
water solenoid off and on to regulate the temperature.
When a warm rinse is selected for the fi nal rinse, the
control connects the outside cold solenoid to neutral
and cycles the hot solenoid.

Section 1 Basic Information

Automatic Dispenser

The automatic dispenser for detergent, liquid bleach and
fabric softener system is made up of the dispenser cavity,
and a removable drawer with three cavities: one for
detergent, one for bleach and one for fabric softener.
A plastic conveyer is snapped to the bottom of the drawer
to direct the outputs from the bleach and softener
chambers to the dispenser housing outlet channel. This
prevents the mixtures from coming out the front of the
drawer. (See Figure 1-21 & 1-22)

The 2 outlets of the water inlet valve assembly are
inserted into the rear of the automatic dispenser. During
the fi ll cycles, water is directed into the top of the cavity
through 2 inlets. The inlet on the right, as viewed from
the front of washer, is connected to the combination
output of the hot water solenoid and the center cold
water solenoid.

The inlet on the left, as viewed from the front of the
washer, is connected to the cold water solenoid.

Figure 1-22.

In the fi ll cycle, water enters into the top of cavity and is
directed across the top of the cavity by 4 channels: the
dispenser bypass channel, the detergent channel, bleach
channel and the fabric softener channel. The channel that
receives the water is determined by which inlet supplies
the water or if both inlets supply the water.
(See Figure 1-23)

The dispenser advanced rinsing technology channel
receives water whenever the inlet on the right, as viewed
from the front of the washer, is activated.
(See Figure 1-24)

Figure 1-23.

Figure 1-21.

Figure 1-24.

1-11

Section 1 Basic Information

This path allows the water to bypass the dispenser
drawer and enter the tub by the advanced rinsing
technology hose connected between the cavity and the
bellows. (See Figure 1-25)

Figure 1-25.

The detergent dispenser channel receives water from the
right-hand input, as viewed from the front of the washer.
The detergent channel forms a loop that allows the water
to pass over the detergent section of the drawer.
(See Figure 1-26)

Figure 1-27.

Figure 1-26.

As the water pass over the detergent section, holes in
the cavity allows some of the water to enter and fl ush
the detergent cavity. (See Figure 1-27)

Since the fl ow of the incoming water is more than the
holes can dispense, the excess water backs up into a
channel across the rear of the dispenser.
(See Figure 1-28)

Figure 1-28.

Water in this channel and the mixture from the detergent
drawer fl ow into the tub through the large hose at the
rear of the dispenser. (See Figure 1-29)

Figure 1-29.

1-12

Section 1 Basic Information

Detergent is dispensed at the start of the cycle, but
bleach and fabric softener are not dispensed until later
in the cycle. The bleach and softener cavities in the
drawer have tubes molded into the bottom of them.
These tubes allow bleach or fabric softener to be added
to their cavity without being dispensed as long as the
liquid is below the top of the tubes. At the proper time
in the cycle when bleach or fabric softener is to be
dispensed, water is added to the cavity. This raises the
mixture above the top of the tube and the bleach or
fabric softener starts fl owing into the tub.

To allow the cavities to empty, the cover of the detergent
drawer cover has tubes molded into it that fi t over the
tubes in the cavities. (See Figure 1-30 & 1-31)

These tubes are larger than the tubes in the cavity and
are designed to fi t over the tubes, but not touch the bot-
tom of the cavity when the cover is installed. When water
is added to either the bleach or fabric softener liquid, the
mixture level rises between the tubes above the tubes in
the cavity and fl ows into the washer tub. Since the end
of the tube on the insert does not touch the bottom of
the cavity, a siphoning action will occur when the
solenoid activates and allows water into the cavity. The
added water creates an “overfi ll” condition and starts the
siphoning. The cavity will empty itself when the water is
turned off by the solenoid. (See Figure 1-31)

Figure 1-30.

Figure 1-31.

The bleach dispenser channel receives water from the
left-hand input, as viewed from the front of the washer.
The bleach channel forms a path, that allows the water
to pass over the bleach cavity section of the cavity.
(See Figure 1-32)

As the water passes over the bleach section, holes in
the cavity allow some of the water to enter and mix with
the bleach. This raises the mixture level above the tubes
in the drawer bleach cavity allowing the mixture to fl ow
into the tub. (See Figure 1-33)

Like the detergent channel, the fl ow of the incoming
water is more than the holes can dispense allowing the
excess water to backup into the channel across the rear
of the dispenser and fl ow into the tub.

Figure 1-32.

Figure 1-33 .

1-13

Section 1 Basic Information

For water to enter the fabric softener channel, both the
left and right inlets must be activated. As the water from
the left inlet pass over the channel, it collides with the
water from the right inlet. This collision changes the
water path directing it to the front of the cavity and into
the fabric softener channel. The fabric softener channel
forms a loop that allows the water to pass over the fabric
softener cavity section of the drawer.
(See Figure 1-34 & 1-35)

As the water passes over the fabric softener section,
holes in the cavity allow some of the water to enter and
mix with the fabric softener. This raises the mixture level
above the tubes in the drawer fabric softener cavity
allowing the mixture to fl ow into the tub. Like the
detergent channel, the fl ow of the incoming water is
more than the holes can dispense, allowing the excess
water to backup into the channel across the rear of the
dispenser and fl ow into the tub.

Figure 1-34.

Drain Pump

The drain pump is mounted to the bottom plate of the
washer behind the access panel. It operates on 120
VAC and is controlled by the control board and pressure
switch. The pump out specifi cations of the drain pump
vary from 12 G.P.M. with a 3 foot standpipe height to 5
G.P.M. with a 8 foot standpipe height. (See Figure 1-36)

Motor

The motor is mounted to the bottom of the outer tub.
The motor is an induction, three phase AC motor that
varies speeds when the voltage from the speed control
board varies in frequency and amount. (See Figure 1-37)
The motor has a tachogenerator that inputs the speed of
the motor to the speed control board.

Speed Control

The speed control board is mounted to the base plate of
the washer in the left rear corner of the washer. The
speed control board controls the following operations:

1. The speed of the drive motor by converting input
line to neutral single phase 60 Hertz voltage, to a
varying frequency, three phase output voltage from
zero to 300 VAC. By varying the amount, frequency,
and polarity of the voltage and comparing the input
from the tachogenerator on the drive motor, the
speed control board can operate the drive motor at a

pre programmed speed and direction.

2. The balance of the load in the washer during the

spin cycle by converting the sine wave from the
tachogenerator to square waves and comparing the
distance between the square waves.

Bellows

The bellows is a rubber sleeve that seals the suspended
outer tub to the stationary cabinet front at the tub
opening. Its purpose is to provide a water tight opening
into the tub that can be sealed by the cabinet door, yet
allow fl exibility for the oscillation of the tub during the
wash and spin cycles.

Outer Tub Assembly

The outer tub assembly is supported by two suspension
springs and stabilized by two air shock assemblies. A
cement counter weight mounted to the front of the outer
tub. Another weight is molded into the rear half of the
outer tub. These counterweights prevent excessive
oscillation of the entire suspended assembly during an
unbalanced spin cycle.

Spin Basket Assembly

The spin basket is constructed of stainless steel. The
circumference of the basket is perforated to allow water
to fl ow through it as it revolves. A heavy steel shaft is
pressed into the spin basket support which is then bolted
to the basket. The spin basket assembly is entirely
supported by two ball bearing assemblies pressed into
the rear of the outer tub.

Figure 1-38. Speed Control

Tub Construction

The front loading tumble action clothes washer consists
of a perforated, cylindrical spin basket suspended
horizontally on its axis within a larger solid cylindrical tub.
This assembly is suspended by springs within a four
piece steel cabinet. A see through door and a fl exible
bellows (seal) provides access for loading and unloading.

Cabinet

The cabinet is made of heavy steel in a four piece design.
The sides and rear are Tog-l-loked at the rear corners
and base. The rear of the cabinet is galvanized steel with
an access panel.

Front Panel and Door Assembly

A large drive pulley is mounted to the free end of the
shaft that extends through the rear of the outer tub.
There are three plastic vanes mounted to the spin basket
to aid in the washing action during the wash cycle. The
rotation of the spin basket provides both the washing
action during the wash cycle and water extraction during
the spin cycle.

The front panel is attached with screws to the console
mounting brace and base plate.

fi nish. To minimize wrinkling, the Warm Rinse and
Extended Spin option are not available with this cycle.
The Stain Clean and Extra Rinse options can be selected.

Quick

The Quick Cycle provides 10 minutes of reversing tumble
wash action for lightly soiled items that must be laun­dered quickly. To save time, the Extra Rinse and the
Extended Spin option are not available with this cycle.

Delicates

This cycle provides 10 minutes of gentle reversing wash
action for knits and delicates. To protect your delicate
items, a hot water wash, Heavy Soil, and the Extended
Spin option are not available. The Stain Clean and Extra
Rinse options are available.

Hand Wash

Select the Hand Wash cycle for items labeled “Hand
Washable”. Ten minutes of occasional tumbling are
followed by 3 rinses and a slow fi nal spin. To protect
your hand , a hot water wash, Heavy Soil, the
Clean Stain and Extended Spin options are not available.

Auto Temp

Auto Temp improves washing performance. Water
temperature can be affected by the water heater setting
and its distance from the washer, water usage in other
parts of the home and seasonally low ground water
temperatures in some geographic areas. Because most
detergents work best in wash water at a minimum of
65°F, select Auto Temp settings for regulated wash and
fi nal rinse water temperatures.

Auto Temp Hot ........ 120° F

(Only if water heater temperature is greater than 120° F.)

Auto Temp Warm ... 90° F

that cluster at one time to confirm functionality.

2. Turn the program knob (1) click clockwise from the
start position. The hot water solenoid will activate
and hot water should enter through the detergent
compartment.

3. Turn the program knob (2) clicks from the start
position. The bleach water solenoid will activate and
cold water should enter through the bleach
compartment.

4. Turn the program knob (3) clicks from the start
position. The bleach and the wash water solenoids
will activate and cold water should enter through the
softener compartment.

5. Turn the program knob (4) clicks from the start
position. The door lock solenoid will deactivate and
the loading door can be opened. When the door is
opened, the drum light should turn on.

6. Turn the program knob (5) clicks from the start
position. The washer will fill and tumble. Once
tumbling has started, the Boost Heater (if so
equipped) will turn on.

7. Turn the program knob (6) clicks from the start
position. The drain pump & door lock solenoid will
activate and the washer will operate in high spin.

WARNING

If power is removed during this test, the door can be
opened. To prevent injury, DO NOT put your hands
inside when the tub is rotating.

8. Turn the program knob (7) clicks from the start
position. The control will signal the last error code.

Exiting Diagnostic Mode

There are two options for exiting the Diagnostic Test
mode and returning the washer to normal operation:

a) Unplug the power cord, wait 5-8 seconds, then
reconnect the power cord OR
b) Turn the program knob clockwise 2 or 3 clicks after
the start position. Press OPTIONS and START/

PAUSE buttons together for a few seconds until wash
cycle LEDs appear.

If a situation arises where you cannot exit the Diagnostic
mode as described above, and the bank of 5 LED’s on
the right end remain ON regardless of Program Knob
position, a combination of pushed buttons may have
caused the control to enter a special factory test mode.
If this occurs, disconnect power to reset the control to
return washer to normal operation.

Drum Light Circuit Testing

To test the drum light circuit, remove the top of washer
to gain access to terminals of the stepdown transformer.

With the washer door open, measure the voltage drop
between the input terminals of the transformer.
If the meter reads zero, remove the door switch and
check it with an Ohm meter. If the contacts are open
with the plunger out, replace the door switch. If the
contacts are closed, replace the control board.

If the meter reads line to neutral voltage, measure the
voltage drop between the two output terminals. If the
meter read zero the transformer is defective. If the
meter reads 12 volts, the light is defective.

NOTE

Since it is recommended that the loading door be left
open when the washer not in use, the electronic
control board limits the amount of time the drum light
is on. With the loading door open, the electronic
control board allows power to the light for a maximum
of (3) minutes.

If the drum light remains on for more than (3) minutes
with the loading door opened, replace the electronic con­trol board. If the drum light remains on with the loading
door closed, replace the light switch.

Section 4 Component Teardown

Component Teardown

This section explains how to access and remove components from a Frigidaire 6000 and 7000 Series Affinity Washer,
and has been arranged in such a way as to simulate which components would need to be removed first in order to
gain access to other components. When following a component removal procedure, it may be necessary to reference
another component removal procedure listed earlier in this section.

IMPORTANT

Before continuing, please take note of the WARNINGS and CAUTIONS below.

WARNING

Before servicing or moving an appliance:

• Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet, trip the circuit breaker to the OFF position, or remove
the fuse.

• Turn off the water supply for Washer.

- If it is necessary to remove a Washer unit from its installation, use proper lifting techniques as units are heavy

and could fall resulting in serious injury or death. Pulling a unit from its installation should only be performed

by a trained authorized service technician or installer.

- After service is completed, be sure all safety-grounding circuits are complete, all electrical connections are

secure, and all access panels are in place.

- If unit was used prior to service, the heater assembly will be hot. Wear protective gloves and the appropriate
safety gear when working with heating assemblies.

- If removing a door from a unit, remember that the doors are heavy. If they were to fall, they could cause

serious personal injury.

CAUTION

- Metal edges may be sharp. Use caution and wear appropriate safety equipment when servicing dryers to avoid
personal injury.

- If working in the motor area, remember that the heater element and tubing may be hot if used prior to
service and during testing.
