#WasherNotDraining

[@skiandbike1]

Thank you for saving me from having to call the appliance repair guy! Our Affinity front loader (model FAFW3511KWO) actually has an opening in the bottom that gives you really easy access to the pump area and coin trap. No need to disassemble the washer, just tip it back enough to work on it. Found some rocks and COVID masks, among other things, clogging it up. Works like new now! Made my wife, who didn't believe I could do it, very happy. You're the man!

[@johnloiselle782]

Thanks for the video! The model I had was a little different but your instructions still were 95% applicable where it mattered. The main difference was that it wasn't one cable to disconnect, it was 5 or so and they were all tie wrapped together. Rather than disconnecting, I just rotated the front out of the way and ensured that the cables weren't pulled significantly during the work. There was a huge clog; twist ties and enough fabric to make a sock. Put it back together and all those puppies are barking nicely now!

[@CesarCinema]

You’re welcome. Thanks for dropping a comment. 🐶

[@banksbeats7239]

Thank you man! Got this set (w/dryer) for a measly $275 from someone who had it in storage. Started up to clean and no drainage. As soon as I followed your directions and got to that pump, I could see why it was in storage. Bobby pins, a pound of wet material and probably $3 in change lol. Another tip for people doing this if you have the pump off you can reach up into the cavity of the washer. I managed to pull a sweater string out of there. Thanks so much man, don’t usually comment on these but you made my small investment well worth it!

[@CesarCinema]

Thanks so much for your input and your tip.

[@kimtilley9485]

Wanted to say a huge thank you for the simple step-by-step instructions! This was my first repair since my husband passed and your video made it a success. Only had to call the neighbour to borrow a pair of vice grips and help with the clamps. Took awhile, but followed each step, struggled through those darn clamps and bagging the water, replayed the video steps backwards to put it all back together and she's working wonderfully again with no leaks! I didn't believe I could do it but with help of a friend and your great video, you saved me from having to call in a repairman. Thank you again!

[@CesarCinema]

You are welcome Kim and sorry for your loss. I’m glad my video was able to help you out 😊

[@aaronmcpherson1297]

ya thank you !!!

[@andih.920]

Saved us a lot of money. Thank you! For others attempting this, make sure you tighten the metal ring at the top of the coin catcher very well otherwise it will leak. My model was a bit different than the one in the video.

[@Jamdunqueen]

Thank you so so much!!! I watched this video lastnight and was able to fix my washer. I was sweating like crazy lol..I took it as my workout. It took me about 2.5hrs from start to finish!

[@CesarCinema]

You’re welcome. I’m glad you got your workout in lol. Thanks for sharing

[@steveruggles1]

Thankyou. Good directions, I replaced the hard to work with spring hose clamps with ratcheded ones that work with a screw turn. Easier and more controllable. I'd call this a 2 hr job for the first timer. A strong work light is helpful as it is with most everything.

[@CesarCinema]

Thank you! And thanks for watching and for your input the views appreciate it.

[@MrJrp1970]

Thanks so much for posting this video! I followed the steps as outlined, and was able to remove the blockage from my coin trap. Took a couple of hours, and the green springs were a bit of a hassle to get back in place. Overall, I would give this video a 10/10.

[@CesarCinema]

Thanks Joe 🙏🏻 I appreciate the feedback

[@trsmithLIII]

Thanks for the easy to follow instructions Caesar. My wife and I watched your video, and decided to give it a try. Two hours later, we were all back together again. The Frigidaire Affinity runs like new. We had no idea that the machine was nine years old. It had worked flawlessly up until it stopped draining. The coin trap was full of coins, pocket crap, and enough dog hair for a bird to make a new nest. Your video saved me the cost of a new pump and repair call. Thank you sir. After your instructional video, anyone with basic tools, patience, and fundamental mechanical knowledge, can handle this job. Tom from Connecticut.

[@CesarCinema]

Thanks so much for the kind words. I’m glad the video help you guys fix it and save some $$ 👍🏻

[@glencampbell3883]

Thank you so much for this video, you saved me $495. Here's a cool tip, while I was inside the belly of the beast (washing machine) I went ahead and replaced the 2 washer filter clams with 2 hose clamps (2 in). Might come in handy in case I need to perform future DIY surgeries.

[@CesarCinema]

You’re welcome. Great tip! thanks for sharing and watching.

[@mesposito]

Thank you for the walkthrough! I just took apart my washer today and found a shower cap clogging the water pump. Easy fix and saved me so much money. Kudos to you, kind sir.

[@terrellbanks8553]

This video saved me a lot of money!!! Thank you for the play by play instructions. Removing that pump was very hard. I also had to go to the hardware store for some locking pliers.

[@CesarCinema]

Thanks for the comment and glad I was able to help.

[@mariemiller2765]

Thanks for sharing this! Helped this 65 year old woman fix her washer! Very easy to follow!

[@CesarCinema]

Nice. Congrats

[@honestinsky]

Hi Caesar, I owe you a very big THANK YOU! This video is a perfect example on the power and good of the Internet. This morning my Affinity washer would not drain. I tried to look at the hoses to see if they were clogged and they were not. Then I found your fantastic video and watched it about 3 times and took a deep breath and took on the job. It was especially motivating when you said the repair might cost me $600. So I took my time and had your video playing back and forth. And the trap pump was clogged real good, it almost looked like your debris in this great video. So Thank You again Caesar for saving me $600 and showing me step by step how to do it. New Sub : )

[@CesarCinema]

Thanks so much for the comment you made my day. I’m glad I was able to help you out and thanks for supporting my channel.

[@fanorman]

Great tutorial! This is the 3rd time I've have to reference your video to unblock my drain. Thank you from all DIY adventurers! Quite a life saver!

[@CesarCinema]

You’re so welcome Faith. Thanks for being a repeat customer lol.

[@christinafreeman2997]

Thank you so much. Affinity machines are terrible for accessing parts. Had to clean out Under the lint trap on the dryer and cursed the manufacturer for the most Un-user friendly construction. Same for accessing this coin trap and pump on the washer. Wow. Found a video that showed a machine with a removable panel, but needed to know how to take the whole machine apart. I absolutely had to have a second pair of hands for the squeeze clamps during reassembly and for getting the stretch ring around the door back on during reassembly. Your step by step instructions were perfect, and I am so grateful. And my machine works!

[@CesarCinema]

Thanks so much for your positive feedback and I’m so glad I can help out.

[@marianajaimes4998]

Thanks very much for doing this video, very well explained and altough my affinity was slightly different ,your steps were the necessary to open and fix the clogged drain. You save me some money and right the washer is working great!! . No need to say the amount of trash we pulled out from the catcher.

[@CesarCinema]

Thank you for leaving a comment and I’m glad you got it up and running again.

[@elizabethbaxter378]

I feel like we should send you a token of the money we saved doing this ourselves!!! After watching your video like 16 times, 3 hours later (yeah, we struggled a bit - not super handy) our washing machine works again! Thanks for your time and expertise. We are definitely feeling more full of our handyman possibility!

[@CesarCinema]

Thank you Elizabeth you’re so kind! I did this video to help ppl out and save them money I only ask for a like 👍🏻 in return lol. I’m glad you watched my video to fix your washer and thanks for commenting!

[@ammitchell2194]

Thank you so much for doing this video. I have 4 kiddos and needed help fixing it. Saved myself a lot of money doing it this way. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[@swtnskye5151]

Wow, my son and I followed your step by step tutorial and fixed our 15 year old washer! Thank You so very much!

[@SibeDad]

Thank for your help. I live out in the middle of nowhere and service is hard to get and costs a small fortune for travel, at the best of times. This video did the job for me, and bonus, my older 2009 model Affinity was much easier to get at the clamps than the model shown. I still replaced them with hose clamps as suggested by "glen campbell". Took about 2 hours...as I am not the handiest guy around.

[@CesarCinema]

I’m glad my video helped and thanks for commenting

[@elijahanthony5540]

Thanks so much for posting this video. Saved so much by taking the time to do it myself. Also, I was able to get to the hose clamp that’s turned backwards much easier be removing the back panel. Also, I did not have to remove the hose that’s connected to the tub bc I was able to remove the clog from the filter without disconnecting that hose.. I removed $6 in coins and a sock from the drain. Great video and thanks a lot.

[@CesarCinema]

No prob. Thanks for commenting. I’m glad I was able to help

[@holmes2309]

This video is so helpful! Thank you so much. One thing that I did was take off those annoying, difficult pressure clamps and replace them with hose clamps. So much easier to reattach when cleaning coin catcher and housing.

[@icantremember]

Not sure if you're still around, but did the hose clamps hold for you ok?

[@fredtaylor8280]

This worked GREAT! Thank you so much. Directions was slow and easy to follow. I was freaking out thinking I was going to need to buy another washer. Again thank you. 🤩🤩

[@CesarCinema]

+Fred Taylor I’m glad you liked the instructions. Thanks for watching.

[@winnone01]

Wow, thank you so much for making this video! My pump failed too. I tested the original one, no ohms. I ordered a new one on Amazon for under $20. Tested it and it shows resistance. Installed. Works!!

[@CesarCinema]

Nice. You’re welcome

[@yetusin]

@@CesarCinema great video I think I've got the problem .I wanna know how to test the original drain pump

[@bobaesweety]

Pretty sure this is what I’m dealing with! I’m going to attempt this on my own tomorrow. I will pick up some hose clamps as some commenters added for ease of putting the pump back on rather than using the green clamps. Thanks for this step by step!

[@CesarCinema]

You’re welcome and good luck tomorrow I’m sure you will do great. Let us know how it goes

[@bobaesweety]

Caesar Cinema I didn’t get to reply but I followed this step by step and got it done without any help! Definitely takes a couple hours, just getting to everything but thankfully I read through the comments to get new hose clamps because the green clam clamps were so painfully hard to use! Thank you so much for this tutorial! I didn’t have to buy a new washer. I found a whole undergarment in the coin trap. Once removed, the washer works just like new. Definitely proud of myself for a 5’2” girl. Haha.

[@CesarCinema]

Cool. Glad to hear it.

[@gilpinmatthews]

Thank You for posting this. While I’m pretty handy, I’ve never tried fixing a washing machine. You saved me from having to pay to have such a seemingly simple fix done. I followed your steps and totally fixed my draining problem.

[@ohshesglamorous]

Omg, thank you so much for this video. This was easy to follow and fixed my draining issue, you rock!!!

[@DanReinherz]

Thank you! I found 2 socks, coins, and various small toys. Once removed the washer worked great!

[@CesarCinema]

Your welcome! That’s funny. How much money in coins did you find?

[@johnunderwood3132]

Dan Reinherz can’t you just take the back panel off? Do you have to remove the whole front to get to coin trap

[@dapperdishboy]

Thank you for the video. It makes the process way easier. I totally agree those green clamps are the worst.

[@CesarCinema]

Thanks. I know who invented those?

[@mikeslater6246]

Yours plus the two other videos I watched before I opened my unit made me feel like I had already been in the machine by time I pulled the pump input boot out. And it was full of all kinds of string, lent, and even some change. Thanks for the help. Probably save me a couple more hours of work figuring it out.

[@CesarCinema]

Nice. I’m glad it worked out for you.

[@sarahbain373]

Thank you so much for this video! My husband and I were able to unclog the drain ourselves. Every step was covered in the video.

[@CesarCinema]

Hey boss I followed your directions and everything went smoothly. The exact problem with my washer THANK YOU so much

[@CesarCinema]

I’m glad everything worked out. Thanks for watching and commenting it means a lot.

[@comeon7304]

B K how much does it cost to replace

[@dorisgoble4723]

Used a ratcheting screwdriver for the backward screw - it helped. Clamps were tough to align, but it's fixed!! Parts of three t-shirts, 78 cents in change, and enough dog hair to knit another dog. Thanks for the help!!

[@CesarCinema]

+Doris Goble thanks for the tip. Haha the dog hair is no joke lol.

[@iceman1bentley763]

Just finished finally got the clamps on that by far was the toughest part of the whole job thanks for the great video

[@CesarCinema]

I glad you got the clamps on. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@Skye-zr6ri]

Thank you so much! I was able to fix my washer and save my mother about $800

[@CesarCinema]

That’s great news Skylar!! That’s for sharing and watching the video.

[@kre9925]

Thanks for posting this! I had the exact same problem and this walked me through the whole process. I had $3+ in coins, a shoulder pad, several hair ties and a bunch of dog hair in there. Works great now!

[@wkbarr]

I got the courage and inspiration to do our Kenmore Elite (very similar) disassembling watching your video! Thank you, Even though ours wasn't that clogged, it had plenty of stuff in it that didn't belong in there, plus the smell (I should say stench) was pretty bad. I cleaned all of the components I could and it works much better and smoother. Just take a couple of pictures of the hoses before you take them out and make sure you put them back and tight them exactly the way they were or something may leak, just saying. Thanks again!

[@CesarCinema]

No problem. I’m glad you enjoyed and found my video helpful.

[@contivertible63]

Thanks for posting such a thorough how to! I'm not super handy, but your easy to follow direction gave me the courage to try it out. The e41 code ended up being the door lock assembly, but I found some material, coins and even a dollar bill in the drain/coin collector that needed to be removed anyway.

[@CesarCinema]

Glad my video helped you and your comment might help someone with the same problem. Thanks for your input!

[@erikkjerting4174]

Another satisfied customer. You probably saved me at least a couple hundos. The guts of my Affinity were slightly different as my pump was oriented a bit differently but everything was pretty spot on. The white plastic filter thingie in the rubber pump was absolutely disgusting. I found a chunk of the drivers license from the former owner of my house in there along with coins, sediment and what seemed like bits of towels. Cleaned that out, put everything back together (way harder than taking it apart) and I am back in business. Can't thank you enough!

[@CesarCinema]

No problem Erik. Glad the video helped you out.

[@Natashacowan96]

I had a draining problem.. did not have a little service door to get to the filter. My washer is about 15 years old. The only trouble I had was to get the wire ring off. But ran your video back and fourth several times. The instructions were a great help, for the 68 year old man. I was a engineer a long time ago, .. Thanks again

[@CesarCinema]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@karldavis7392]

If you have a washer of this style, but not exactly this model, there's an easier way to get to the coin trap in some cases. Mine let me remove a large access panel in the back with just a few screws, and had an access opening in the bottom. That got me out of taking it apart. I could directly reach the trap.

[@DC-op8fs]

I have one an all I have to do is lean it back against the wall, no screws or nothing to get to the filter.

[@karldavis7392]

@@DC-op8fs I know what you mean about version differences in these things. I have a car where changing a headlight is supposed to be about seven steps and take easily half an hour, but for whatever reason on mine, the process is to reach around a corner and unscrew the lamp and put in the new one, taking about 3 minutes.

[@MsOnTheOtherHand]

Perfect! Followed your video and fixed it! Suggestions for others' success: I used the bag idea to collect the water, but I set the bag inside a wide, flat tupperware (like for brownies), so that it was easy to pull out - no tearing, snagging, flopping or sloshing. I did not even try to mess with those horrid green clamps once I had them off. I bought hose clamps (the kind that tighten with a screw) to make my life easy from the start. $2 each and WELL worth the time saved! Thanks for the help. I would never have attempted this without your video.

[@CesarCinema]

Thanks for the tip and no problem. Glad I could help.

[@robrobinson8597]

This did the trick! My pump/trap placement was actually a bit easier to get to on my model. The only "oh crap" moment was when I plugged it back in and it came up and wouldnt spin. It threw an error for the door lock so I dismounted the control panel, unplugged and reseated the wires, then brought it up again. The water is flowing and the floor is dry. Thanks!

[@CesarCinema]

You’re welcome and thanks for sharing

[@reB3732]

Great video w great ideas. HOWEVER, i accidentally fouNd out it SO MUCH EAISER TO LAY THE UNIT ON ITS SIDE. There's access hole underneath and you right THERE where you need to be! I disconnected the main drain hose from DRUM(wide one), then the DRAIN HOSE itself, then white cannister (the DIFFICULT ONE). Twist, break the attaching white clip, making access easier to remove and reinstall tri hose connection. It took 30 mins for completion. I DID'NT HAVE TO REMOVE TOP OR REMOVE DOOR SEAL OR THE CONTROL BOARD OR REMOVE THE FRONT LOADING DOOR ASSEMBLY.... HOWEVER I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO YOU BECAUSE YOU HAD GREAT TECHNIQUE AND INFO!

[@Zoecat1824]

Wonderful, this fixed mine! Took us just about 2 hours. We used a wet/dry vac to control the water and minimize the stinky spillage. Somehow a dryer sheet ended up in the wash and sucked into the drain. Coat that in some hair and it had plugged solid.

[@jkmh6677]

Thanks for the info. I'll never get this type of washer again. I had a perfectly good LG front loader that had a easy access filter to get all my dog hair out in a snap. Inherited from my grandmother thay paid well over $1000 for the pair a few years ago. This washer is overall so much worse. More noise, not easy to work on. Doesn't clean as good and overall just annoying. The matched dryer I had to replace the eletric heating element twice. Makes good window units, never again with the affinity series washer/dryer

[@CesarCinema]

You’re welcome

[@jkmh6677]

All washers should have a easy access pre screen filter with a drain tube. Disassembly of pretty much the entire washer is a terrible consumer design. I would think they want you to call a fridgair tech to drain your wallet. When my affinity series washer goes down hill. I'll happily just sell it to someone for pocket change as these are not even close to today's standards.

4 hrs later taking it off was the easy part thank you!!🙏🙏🙏

[@chincemagnet]

I ended up figuring this out on my own. God, those clamps!! I have hose clamps, I should have swapped them. Knowing that threaded hose clamps can cause damage if you over tighten, I chose not to use them. But at least I have them where they’re easier to reach now. Mine was nasty, totally packed and then some. I should have known when it took like 20 minutes or more longer to run a load than the timer suggested something was wrong. Mine had like 20 Bobby pins in it, $1 in change, a good amount of powdered metal (my family all works in the powdered metal industry), several pieces of jewelry, an old bra strap, and quite a bit of what I believe is old powdered laundry detergent. Most of that stuff is years old, some of the Bobby pins were half rusted away.

Followed this video and solved that problem but it created another. Now the washer door is not locking and I am not sure what I did wrong to create this issue as I put everything back together. Could the front end be off center?

Had code E21 on a Frigidaire washer. Followed this video and found some nasty surprises! Cleaned out the coin trap and now it's working good as new
