Frigidaire Built Front Load Washers Frigidaire had among the best assembly quality of any washer EVER made with these washers.
They did have a few weak spots in the design department however, the spider on the small door machines were too thin and if you mistreated the machine by using the wrong combinations of cold water washing and lack of good detergents and bleach you could suffer an early failure.
But overall these were great performing machines and I have no dough that we will still be repairing these when they are 30 years old,they made MILLIONS of them.
The sad thing is the newer machines have grown in height and depth so they will no longer fit under a kitchen counter top and no longer will bolt to their dryers [ so they have lost all the replacement business for the millions they sold ]. They also removed the removable lower panel so you have to access the clogged trap and pump problems only from the rear, this coupled with the loss of Sears and GEs business I would guess that Frigidaire lost 3/4 of their sales in FL washers. Frigidaire also lost Sears and GE as clients with their silly new Immersion Care stack washer-dryers. | ||

I was going to say in my GE Frigidaire built washer, the softener dispenser holds a capful of softener and that's about it. I love my machine, I have two of them, one that was given to us that threw the spider, which by the way is noisy as hell when it happens. I plan on replacing the drum and take the SQ washer out of service or sell it on. The new GE Frigidaire built washer, I found on clearance at Lowes for $300. GE didn't change the design of the control panels at all and it's identical from the 2001 built washer, yet the new one was built in 2010.
I use the front loader more than the SQ washer because of less water usage, better washing, clothes last longer, superior water extraction, and better rinsing. There I said it. That's my opinion and your entitled to it! Lol | ||

those round door models were some of the best ones out there.....prefer the newer versions with the solenoid operated dispensers.....can change the water level easily with a screwdriver in minutes....I liked the Kenmore version dryers with the stainless drum....and seemed to have more options than the Frigidaire sisters...wished they still made them.....I too would grab a set for a spare....

Commercial Frigidaire Built FL Washer Hi Doug and thanks for posting this washer, I am very familiar with this machine, we maintain about a dozen of them in light commercial user installations. Interestingly in commercial use I dough that we will ever see a broken spider and maybe not even bad bearings because you do not tend to get the harmful build-ups of crap in commercial applications do to so many different people using the washer with different detergents , water temperatures, bleach etc. We had one of these last 5 years at the local vet hospital doing 10+ loads per day and when we hauled the poor thing away the bearings and spider were just fine, but the machine was beat to hell and the motor wore out and the hospital bought a new SQ TL washer, they now have two of these.
The coin box on these machines are actually VERY strong, it is just that are mounted on the flimsy top, LOL.
Note to all FL washer owners, in addition to leaving the main door open or ajar you should also leave the dispenser drawer open as far as possible.
