A Frigidaire washer in Carrollton wasn’t draining water, with the customer wondering how much a pump would cost. After inspection, we found the coin trap on the drain pump was plugged — a much simpler fix than a full pump replacement.
The Problem
The customer reported their washer won’t drain water and was wondering how much a pump would cost. This is a common concern when water stays in the tub after a wash cycle.
Diagnosis
The coin trap on the drain pump was plugged. This is a common issue with Frigidaire washing machines, and it’s not very often that the pump is actually faulty.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None needed
- Work performed: Cleared the plugged coin trap on the drain pump
- Result: The washer is spinning and draining properly
Is It Worth Repairing?
For this 2019 Frigidaire washer, clearing a blocked drain trap is absolutely worth it over replacement. These units are built to last when properly maintained, and this type of blockage is routine maintenance rather than a sign of major failure.
Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Washers
- Check the coin trap monthly for lint, coins, and small objects that can cause drainage problems
- Leave the door cracked open after use to prevent moisture buildup and odors
- Run a cleaning cycle monthly with Frigidaire’s recommended washer cleaner to prevent residue buildup
