Frigidaire Washer takes too long
If your Frigidaire washer is taking too long to wash, the problem is often a restricted water supply or a component that slows filling or heating. First, make sure both the hot and cold water supply valves are fully open. Closed or partially open valves can make the washer fill slowly and delay the start of the cycle. If the supply is correct, test the heating element with a multimeter for electrical continuity. A failed heating element may prevent the washer from reaching the required water temperature, causing a long wash cycle. The next likely cause is a faulty water inlet valve. Check that household water pressure is adequate, clean the inlet valve screens at the hose connection ports, and replace the valve if the washer is still not filling properly. A clogged hose, dispenser, or wiring problem can also affect filling, but these are less common. For accurate Frigidaire washer repair, enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific washing machine, including the heating element or water inlet valve. This helps ensure the part fits your model and connects correctly.
01 - Water supply valve turned off
Confirm that both the hot and cold water supply valves are fully open. If the valves are closed or partially open the washer won't fill or will take longer to start the wash cycle.
Highly Likely
02 - Frigidaire Washing Machine Heating Element
Many washers use a heating element to raise the temperature of the water entering the tub. A defective element may cause the washer to take too long to clean its load. You can use a multimeter to test the heating element for electrical continuity. If the element tests negative for continuity, you'll know the heating element is faulty and will need to be replaced.

03 - Frigidaire Washing Machine Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the washing machine. If the water inlet valve is defective, the wash may fill slowly or not fill at all. The water inlet valve requires sufficient water pressure to function properly. First, check the water pressure to determine that it is adequate. If the water pressure is adequate, try cleaning the screens inside the water inlet valve hose connection ports. If the washer still fills slowly, replace the water inlet valve.
