Front load frigidaire,fills with water,goes through wash cycle,pumps out water,will not go into high speed spin cycle.The belt is good.I think it could be a electronic problem,possibly the motor vfd.
Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sprague

If by "vfd", you mean "variable frequency drive", it's not worth fixing! But, I had a bad belt tensioner on mine and a $6 part fixed it. Give it a look and check any "keyed" pulleys for shear.

Best of luck!

4yrs average life of a stinky f loader
Easy...old guy...your brain is just tainted with the days when you could actually get a long life from those appliances.

For all those that don't know it...the front loaders hold a ton of water after the cycle is done...and you need to throw some bleach in there once in awhile to disinfect the unit. If you don't...they will stink, and it is not healthy for you to wear clothing that ...well, stinks.

Nothing else disinfects like bleach....use it and smell better, feel better and stop throwing 45 pounds in that thing at once...never mind what it SAYS it will handle. Lighter loads means a longer life usually.

It also helps if you leave the door open from time to time so they can dry out
