A Frigidaire washer in East Rochester, OH stopped spinning water out of clothes after the customer heard a loud noise. When we opened up the LTF5300S1, we discovered why this repair wasn’t going to be straightforward.
The Problem
The customer reported their washer will not spin water out of clothes. They heard a loud noise, re-checked the unit, and confirmed it was still not spinning.
Diagnosis
Opening the washer revealed an unusual situation — the unit had a mouse in the motor control board. Both the mouse and the control board were well cooked from electrical damage. The board is no longer available from Frigidaire.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None — replacement board unavailable
- Work performed: Diagnosis and assessment
- Result: Unit deemed unrepairable due to discontinued parts
Is It Worth Repairing?
When critical electronic components like motor control boards are discontinued, older Frigidaire washers become unrepairable regardless of their overall condition. The LTF5300S1 is from an era where replacement parts are increasingly scarce, making replacement the only viable option.
Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Washers
- Seal any gaps around utility connections where rodents might enter the laundry area
- Keep the area around your washer clean and free of food sources that attract pests
- Check behind the washer periodically for signs of rodent activity
