Frigidaire Washer Repair (Model FWT645RHS0) – Carrollton, OH

A Frigidaire top-load washer in Carrollton, OH started making grinding noises and wouldn’t drain water from the tub. Our diagnosis revealed a failed drain pump that needed immediate replacement to restore normal operation.

The Problem

The homeowner reported their Frigidaire washer was making a loud grinding noise during the drain cycle and leaving standing water in the tub after each wash. The machine would complete the wash cycle but fail to pump out the dirty water, leaving clothes soaking wet.

Diagnosis

Visual inspection of the drain pump revealed internal component failure causing the grinding sound. The pump’s impeller was seized, preventing proper water evacuation. This is a common failure point on this Frigidaire model, typically caused by debris buildup or normal wear after years of service.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 137108000 — drain pump assembly
• Work performed: Removed old pump, installed new drain pump, cleared drain hose
• Result: Washer now drains completely and operates quietly

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Frigidaire model FWT645RHS0 is a solid mid-range washer that typically runs 10+ years with proper care. A drain pump replacement is a straightforward repair that extends the appliance’s life significantly. Given the machine’s overall condition and the reasonable repair scope, replacement made good financial sense.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Top-Load Washers

• Check pockets for coins, bobby pins, and small items that can jam the drain pump impeller
• Run a cleaning cycle monthly with Frigidaire-approved washer cleaner to prevent residue buildup
• Leave the lid open after washing to air-dry the tub and prevent mold growth in Frigidaire’s moisture-prone areas
