Frigidaire Washer Repair – North Canton, OH (FWS1233FS1)

A customer in North Canton called us about water coming from bottom of machine on their Frigidaire washer. When we diagnosed the FWS1233FS1, we found the seals and bearings have failed in the washer tub. Due to the repair cost, the customer opted to replace the unit instead.

The Problem

The customer reported water coming from bottom of machine. This type of leak typically indicates internal component failure rather than a simple hose connection issue.

Diagnosis

Our inspection revealed that the seals and bearings have failed in the washer tub. When these components fail, water can escape from the inner tub assembly and leak onto the floor beneath the machine.

The Repair

• Parts needed: Tub seal and bearing assembly
• Estimated cost: Approximately $320
• Customer decision: Purchase a new washing machine instead of proceeding with repair

Is It Worth Repairing?

For this Frigidaire washer model, a $320 repair represents a significant investment. Given that tub seal and bearing failures often indicate the machine has reached the end of its useful service life, the customer made a reasonable choice to replace rather than repair. Newer models will offer better efficiency and reliability.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Washers

• Use HE detergent only and measure carefully to prevent excess suds that stress seals
• Leave the door open after cycles to allow moisture to evaporate and prevent mold
• Run a monthly cleaning cycle with Frigidaire’s recommended cleaner or white vinegar
