Frigidaire Washer Repair (Model FWT645RHS0) – Minerva, OH

A Frigidaire top-load washer in Minerva wasn’t draining properly, leaving clothes soaking wet after every cycle. Our diagnostic revealed a failed drain pump that was humming but not actually moving water out of the tub.

The Problem

The customer reported their washer would complete the wash cycle but leave clothes saturated with water. The machine made a humming noise during the drain cycle, but no water was being expelled from the drum.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the drain pump was receiving power and attempting to operate — we could hear the motor humming — but the impeller wasn’t spinning to move water. The drain line was clear of obstructions, and all electrical connections tested good. This pointed to internal pump failure, likely a seized impeller or damaged motor windings inside the pump assembly.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 137108000 — drain pump assembly
• Work performed: Removed old pump, installed new pump, reconnected drain hoses and electrical harness
• Result: Ran complete wash cycle with proper drain function, no leaks detected

Is It Worth Repairing?

This FWT645RHS0 is a solid mid-range Frigidaire model that typically runs 10-15 years with proper care. A drain pump replacement on a machine this age makes good financial sense, especially since the rest of the mechanical components were functioning normally during our testing.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Top-Load Washers

• Check pockets for coins, lint, and small items that can damage the drain pump impeller
• Run a cleaning cycle monthly with Frigidaire’s recommended cleaner to prevent soap buildup in the pump housing
• Don’t overload the tub — Frigidaire’s load sensor needs room to balance properly, which reduces strain on the drain system
