If desired, you can add liquid fabric softener if your washer has the fabric softener dispenser.

Remember to follow the fabric softener label instructions by the manufacturer.

DO NOT use powder detergent in this dispenser.

DO NOT fill above the maximum fill line.

You must select the fabric softener option on your display. If you experience fabric softener build-up in the dispenser, simply use hot water to clean.

Refer to your Owner’s manual if you need more information.

If water is leaking from your washer, check the list below:Is the drain clogged?

If so, it will need to be cleaned; you may need to contact a plumber.

Is the drain hose restricted or out of the standpipe?

If it is out of the standpipe, you will need to secure it. You can do this by bending the end to form a hook, placing the hooked end into the standpipe, and tying the hose to the standpipe or a faucet with a cable tie (one was supplied with the washer), strong filament tape or duct tape.

Are the fill-hose connections loose or cross-threaded at the faucet or washer?

Check by realigning the threads, make sure that the rubber sealing washers are in good shape and seated properly, and tighten the hose connections.

If they are loose, you might need to reinstall or replace the rubber sealing washers.

Are you using a non-high-efficiency detergent or too much detergent or do you have soft water?

Using a non-high-efficiency detergent or using too much detergent in soft water can cause suds to overflow the washer. This may seem like a leak if the suds flow or drip onto the floor.

To avoid this, use an high-efficiency detergent, and reduce the amount of detergent you use if your water is soft.

It’s pretty easy to take care of your Frigidaire Top Load washer.

Here are some quick tips to get you started:

To prevent odors, promptly remove clothing from the washer.Use a damp cloth or mild soap and water to clean the top and sides of the washer.

Be sure to avoid moisture build-up.When possible, to help prevent odors and humidity accumulation, leave the lid open for a little bit of time or when not in use.

When washing heavily soiled items, shake or brush off excess dirt or sand before putting in the washer. A dirty residue may remain in the tub, simply wipe it with a non-abrasive household cleaner, and then use the RINSE ONLY cycle.

• To clean and freshen the washer tub, most models have a Tub Clean cycle (or System clean / Clean Washer).

For best results, perform the Tub Clean cycle once a month or every 50 wash loads – depending on your model. Check out your Owner’s manual for more information.

If you need to add a forgotten item to your laundry load, press the PAUSE button to pause the cycle.

After you hear the lid lock release, lift the lid and add the item.

Close the lid and press START again to continue.

For your safety, the lid on a Frigidaire Top Load washer cannot be opened during the Spin cycle.

To open it, simply stop the washer and wait 1 to 3 minutes for the safety lock to release.

If you are unable to resolve an issue or need more information, please contact us.

To change the options, press the TEMP and SOIL level buttons to scroll to the desired settings.

In most models:

To change your cycle, settings or options once the load has started, you will need to press the POWER button before selecting new ones.

Simply turning the cycle selector will not change the selection. If changes are attempted after the cycle starts, the lights will flash and a signal will beep.

Yes, you can! Detergent Boosters or enzyme products may be added with your detergent.

For best results, use a high-efficiency detergent because they are designed for top load washers like yours, which use less water.

High-efficiency detergents are also formulated to reduce soap suds and ensure proper cleaning.

Non high-efficiency detergents may cause excessive soap suds and result in detergent residue on your clothing at the end of the cycle.

For powder detergent:

Remove the Main Wash - Liquid Only cup from your dispenser and add the powder detergent directly to the Main Wash detergent chamber.

For liquid detergent: Add the detergent to the Main Wash – Liquid Only cup in your dispenser. Do not exceed the MAX fill line.

For detergent packs: Place the pack directly into the washer tub BEFORE placing your laundry into the washer. This will help mix the detergent into the water. Do not place the pack in the detergent dispenser as the gel coating may cause the detergent drawer to become clogged.

NOTE: Follow the detergent manufacturer’s directions. The amount required depends on the type of detergent, load size and soil level, and water hardness.

Once you have loaded your washer and closed the lid, press the POWER button to turn on your appliance.

Then, turn the cycle selector in either direction to scroll to your desired cycle. In some models the indicator for your selected cycle will be illuminated. Based on the cycle selected, the estimated cycle time, wash temperature, soil level and options associated with the cycle chosen may also illuminate.

After making your selections, press START to begin.

Max Fill is an option available on some models for loads that require extra washer.

Pressing the Max Fill button adds the maximum amount of water possible, and will increase the cycle duration time.

The Max Fill feature is not recommended for regular use but rather special instances. The Max Fill feature is also not available with all cycles.

High-efficiency washers are designed to use less water and energy.

It is perfectly normal for the water level to appear lower than what you may have experienced with an older top load washer.

Most Frigidaire Top Load Washers rely on sensory technology and will determine the proper water level for each load – water will enter the tub once the sensory cycle is complete (this may take a few minutes).

If water is flowing to your washer slowly or isn’t flowing in at all, you might find a solution by checking the following:Hot and cold water faucets. Be sure your water supply faucets are completely open.Washer-fill hoses.

Check your water hoses to see if they might be kinked. If so, simply straighten the hoses.Water pressure. Your washer needs sufficient water pressure to fill.

Check to see if water is being used elsewhere in your home such as shower, bath and dishwasher while the washer is trying to fill.Washer lid.

Make sure the lid is completely closed. Your washer will not operate with the lid open.

Filter on water valve.If the filter screens on your water valve are clogged, turn off your water faucets and remove the hoses from the valve connections.

Clean the filter screens and then reconnect the hoses; turn on the water.Drain hose standpipe.

Check to ensure the drain hose standpipe is at the correct height – it must be a minimum of 36” high to prevent siphoning.

Refer to your Installation instructions for more information.

For laundry loads needing extra water, some Frigidaire Top Washers have the Max Fill feature.

If your Frigidaire Top Load washer was recently installed, here are a few things to check if your washer is vibrating:The washer needs to be resting firmly on the floor.

Check to ensure it is level (both front to back and side to side), with each washer leg placed solidly on the floor.

You can adjust the leveling legs by simply turning the legs slightly in or out until the washer is firmly on the floor, then tight the lock nuts.

TIP: Leveling legs should not extend more than ½ inch below the washer bottom.The washer needs to be installed on a sturdy, hard floor. It is not recommended that you install the washer on carpeting.Shipping materials may not have been removed during the installation.

Check your Installation instructions for more information.

The laundry load may be off balance. Turn the power off and wait for the lid to unlock. Redistribute the clothes evenly in the washer.

TIP: If the load remains out of balance, simply add one or two similar items to the load – especially if it’s a smaller load - and restart the washer. If you are unable to resolve an issue or need more information, please contact us.

Frigidaire Laundry Centers have low-profile agitators that clean laundry in a different way than traditional washing machines.

Yes, you can!

If using liquid bleach – add the bleach to the compartment located in the left front corner under the washer lid and then add 1 cup of water to flush the dispenser.

There probably is simple solution to getting your Frigidaire Laundry Center running as it should.

Whether your unit was just installed or you have been using for a while, we recommend checking the following:

Ensure the power cord fits tightly in the wall outlet and you are getting power to your washer. If no power, check to ensure a house fuse isn’t blown or the circuit breaker tripped.

Your Frigidaire Laundry Center should be on its own circuit breaker and not shared with other outlets or appliances.

Check to make sure the water supply faucets are turned on.Make sure the unit is level.If everything checks out okay – let’s try these tips:

Check the lid. Make sure the washer lid and/or dryer door are closed – laundry center will not start if the lid or door is open. Press Start. Don’t forget to press the START/PAUSE button after making your selections. Load sensing.

With most Frigidaire Laundry Centers, the first 2 minutes of the cycle are spent sensing the size of the load so you may not hear the water filling right away. Water will start to enter the tub once the sensory cycle is complete. Cycle may be paused. If the cycle initially started but appears to have stopped, your washer may just be in a pause stage. This is perfectly normal, a pause will occur between the Wash and Spin cycles with an additional pause during the Soak cycle.

If you are unable to resolve an issue or need more information, please contact us.

If your Frigidaire Laundry Center was recently installed, here are a few tips that may address your issue:

The laundry center needs to be resting firmly on the floor. Check to ensure it is level (both front to back and side to side), with each leveling leg placed solidly on the floor.

You can adjust the leveling legs by simply turning the legs slightly in or out until the laundry center is firmly on the floor, then tight the lock nuts.

TIP: Leveling legs should not extend more than ½ inch below the laundry center bottom. Shipping materials may not have been removed during the installation.

TIP: If the load remains out of balance, simply add one or two similar items to the load – especially if it’s a smaller load - and restart the washer.

If you are unable to resolve an issue or need more information, please contact us.

For the washer:

To prevent odors, remove clothing from the washer promptly. Feel free to use a damp cloth or mild soap and water to clean the top and sides of the laundry center.

Be sure to avoid hard, gritty or abrasive cleanser. Dry the washer top, the area around the lid opening and the underside of the lid to prevent often to avoid moisture build-up.

When possible, to help prevent odors and humidity accumulation, leave the lid open for a little bit of time or when not in use.

When washing heavily soiled items, shake or brush off excess dirt or sand before putting in the washer. A dirty residue may remain in the tub, simply wipe it with a non-abrasive household cleaner, and then use the RINSE ONLY cycle.

For the dryer:

Clean the lint filter after every load. Lint build-up on the filter restricts air flow, which causes longer drying times.

Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint filter from using dryer-added fabric softener sheets. Simply wash the filter with warm, soapy water. Dry the filter thoroughly and put back in the dryer.

DO NOT use the dryer without the lint filter in place.

Every 18 months, it is recommended to have a qualified service personnel clean the dryer cabinet interior and exhaust duct. These areas can collect lint and dust over time. An excessive amount of lint build-up can result in reduced drying performance.

Some noises are perfectly normal with your Frigidaire Laundry Center.

When the lid lock becomes engaged or disengaged, you will hear a double click sound – just locking the lid.Heavier loads occasionally cause a thumping sound at the beginning of the spin cycle – no worries!

Check for belt buckles or other fasteners on clothing items being washed or dried that may cause rattling or clanking sounds.

TIP: Fasten these items or turn your clothing inside out to reduce sounds.Check the pockets! Rattling and clanking can also be caused by loose or foreign objects such as coins in the washer tub or dryer drum.Simply stop the washer or dryer and check for any objects.

If you don’t find anything and the noises continue, try running an empty load to see if the noise persists. This will allow you to determine if the noise is coming from the washer, dryer or an article of clothing.

Specifically for your dryer:

The dryer drum is supported by a set of suspension rollers. At times there may be a thumping or rolling sound when the dryer starts. This may happen if the dryer has not been in use for a period time, or after a heavy load has remained in the dryer drum for an extended period time.

The noise should go away as the dryer operates. Your dryer is equipped with a high volume air handling system. In some cases there may be sounds associated with air movement throughout the dryer, including the air duct, blower, and exhaust system.

This is normal and can vary with the load size.

High-efficiency Laundry Centers are designed to use less water and energy. It is perfectly normal for the water level to appear lower than what you may have experienced with an older top load washer.

There are few items to check if you experience drainage issues with your Frigidaire Top Load washer especially if it was recently installed.

Check the drain hose – if it’s kinked, straighten it to improve the water flow to the drain.Be sure the drain is clear and not clogged.

The standpipe cannot be more than 96 inches high.If the drain hose has been taped (or sealed) into the standpipe, the seal should not be completely tight because the standpipe requires air for proper draining.

You may need to remove some of the tape on the seal to make an air path.Make sure the drain hose isn’t fitted too tightly in the standpipe.

The standpipe needs to be at least 1 ¼ inches in diameter.If you suspect your pump is clogged – you may need to contact service.

Did you know…using too much laundry detergent can inhibit draining? Always use the recommended amount of detergent and do not fill any compartment in your dispenser beyond the maximum amount line.

For best results, use a high-efficiency detergent because they are designed for Frigidaire Laundry Centers like yours, which use less water.

They are also formulated to reduce soap suds and ensure proper cleaning.

For powder, liquid, or detergent packs -

Simply, add your detergent directly into the wash tub BEFORE adding your laundry – this will help mix the detergent into the water. The amount of detergent depends on the type of detergent you are using, load size, and water hardness.

If using liquid bleach - add the bleach to the compartment located in the left front corner under the washer lid and then add 1 cup of water to flush the dispenser. It is not recommended to put powdered bleach in the bleach compartment but rather add it directly to the wash tub BEFORE adding your laundry.

You can use fabric softener with your laundry center by following these simple steps:

If your laundry center is equipped with a dispenser, add the fabric softener into the dispenser compartment labeled Fabric Softener and select the Fabric Softener button.

If you do not have a dispenser, you can

1) add diluted fabric softener to the final rinse or

2) use a fabric softener dispensing ball.

If you choose to use other wash products such as water conditioners, detergent boosters, and enzyme products – just simply place them directly in the wash tub with your detergent BEFORE adding your laundry.

Always refer to your detergent and/or bleach manufacturer’s instructions for proper dosage.
