Frigidaire Washer won't stop

When your Frigidaire washer won't stop, first check for water siphoning from the tub. The drain hose outlet may be installed too low, sealed tightly at the standpipe, or pushed too far down the drain, allowing water to leave continuously and making the washing machine keep running. Position the hose so it ends about 30 to 36 inches above the floor, following your model's installation instructions. If the washer drains normally but the cycle continues, a defective control board is the most likely part-related cause. Inspect the board for burn marks or shorted components, but remember that control boards are difficult to test. A failed main control board can cause the same washer not stopping problem. Less commonly, the timer may be defective. Test the timer with a multimeter and the wiring diagram, then replace it if it fails. Before ordering, enter your Frigidaire washer's model number to find the exact replacement control board, main control board, or timer for your specific washing machine. Disconnect power before inspecting or servicing internal parts.

01 - Water siphoning from tub

If the water is siphoning from the tub the outlet end of the drain hose is likely lower than the water level in the tub. The drain hose should terminate between 30 inches to 36 inches (77 centimeters to 92 centimeters) above the floor, depending on the model, in a standpipe or laundry tub. If the drain hose is sealed at the top of the standpipe or excess hose is pushed too far down into the pipe, siphoning can also occur.

02 - Frigidaire Washing Machine Timer

If the washer can successfully drain the water from the tub then a defective timer could be responsible for the washer not stopping. You can test the timer by using a multimeter and consulting the wiring diagram. If the timer is defective, replace it.
