Frigidaire GLTF2940FE Questions and Answers


#1 What may cause my washer to vibrate?

If your Frigidaire Top Load washer was recently installed, here are a few things to check if your washer is vibrating:The washer needs to be resting firmly on the floor.

Check to ensure it is level (both front to back and side to side), with each washer leg placed solidly on the floor.

You can adjust the leveling legs by simply turning the legs slightly in or out until the washer is firmly on the floor, then tight the lock nuts.

TIP: Leveling legs should not extend more than ½ inch below the washer bottom.The washer needs to be installed on a sturdy, hard floor. It is not recommended that you install the washer on carpeting.Shipping materials may not have been removed during the installation.

Check your Installation instructions for more information.

The laundry load may be off balance. Turn the power off and wait for the lid to unlock. Redistribute the clothes evenly in the washer.

TIP: If the load remains out of balance, simply add one or two similar items to the load – especially if it’s a smaller load - and restart the washer. If you are unable to resolve an issue or need more information, please contact us.

#2 How do I care and clean my Frigidaire Top Load washer?

It’s pretty easy to take care of your Frigidaire Top Load washer.

Here are some quick tips to get you started:

To prevent odors, promptly remove clothing from the washer.Use a damp cloth or mild soap and water to clean the top and sides of the washer.

Be sure to avoid moisture build-up.When possible, to help prevent odors and humidity accumulation, leave the lid open for a little bit of time or when not in use.

When washing heavily soiled items, shake or brush off excess dirt or sand before putting in the washer. A dirty residue may remain in the tub, simply wipe it with a non-abrasive household cleaner, and then use the RINSE ONLY cycle.

• To clean and freshen the washer tub, most models have a Tub Clean cycle (or System clean / Clean Washer).

For best results, perform the Tub Clean cycle once a month or every 50 wash loads – depending on your model. Check out your Owner’s manual for more information.

#3 What should I do if my Frigidaire Top Load washer is not filling with water properly?

High-efficiency washers are designed to use less water and energy.

It is perfectly normal for the water level to appear lower than what you may have experienced with an older top load washer.

Most Frigidaire Top Load Washers rely on sensory technology and will determine the proper water level for each load – water will enter the tub once the sensory cycle is complete (this may take a few minutes).

If water is flowing to your washer slowly or isn’t flowing in at all, you might find a solution by checking the following:Hot and cold water faucets. Be sure your water supply faucets are completely open.Washer-fill hoses.

Check your water hoses to see if they might be kinked. If so, simply straighten the hoses.Water pressure. Your washer needs sufficient water pressure to fill.

Check to see if water is being used elsewhere in your home such as shower, bath and dishwasher while the washer is trying to fill.Washer lid.

Make sure the lid is completely closed. Your washer will not operate with the lid open.

Filter on water valve.If the filter screens on your water valve are clogged, turn off your water faucets and remove the hoses from the valve connections.

Clean the filter screens and then reconnect the hoses; turn on the water.Drain hose standpipe.

Check to ensure the drain hose standpipe is at the correct height – it must be a minimum of 36” high to prevent siphoning.

Refer to your Installation instructions for more information.

For laundry loads needing extra water, some Frigidaire Top Washers have the Max Fill feature.

Pressing the Max Fill button adds the maximum amount of water possible, and will increase the duration of the cycle time. The Max Fill feature is not recommended for regular day-to-day use but more on an as needed basis.
