Frigidaire model frfw3700lwo. Why doesn't it drain?

not really since you only tell us washer need make and model --

Good Afternoon Friend, that's a great question!

If you are having difficulties with your Frigidaire washer (FRFW3700LW0) not spinning, often it is because your washer cannot properly drain and dispose of the water and detergent solution. Does your washer make a humming noise? If so, the drainage hose/pump may be clogged and needs to be cleaned. If not, your washer may possibly be experiencing an issue with the door lock assembly, faulty pump, timer or control board not communicating correctly. Because it could be a number of any one of several underlying causes, I would recommend contacting a professional to properly diagnose and repair your washer.

Hello leah_mcmunn - the error code E-20 indicates that the water doesn't drain. This could be caused by either the drain hose is kinked or your household drain is clogged. If the drain pump is making a humming noise, check the restriction in the drain line. If not, then you might need to contact a professional to possibly replace the pump.

it could either be a bad door switch or something stuck in the pump or a bad pump.if you set it to drain/spin will it drain out the water or does it buzz there?if it does drain i'd have to say you have a bad door switch.the model number you sent doesn't come up,you can unplug the machine,remove the hose that goes to the pump or run it before you unplug it and see if it's the pump making the sound or if the center of the pump can be removed to clean out the pump and check the pump for coins and junk,use a shop vac and vac out all the water in the tub and then lossen the hose or center of pump until water starts to leak out and vac it up as it comes out,check the pump and put it back together,add some water with a bucket or something and see if it drains out,if it doesn't drain and it sounds like the pump is making the noise you have a bad pump,if it buzzes and it's not the pump change out the door switch.the buzzing is electrical,things that could make this sound are the motor,the solenoids on the water valve or the door switch,if you can do some checks like see if it drains or try to find where the noise is coming from would be helpful.good luck and i hope this helps you out.

Hi
Dishwasher not draining issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. First make sure that the drain is not clogged and remove clogs if present. If no visible lint is present then remove the lower front access panel to check the drain filter and drain pump for any clogs, you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump completely. Also, check for any food pieces stuck near the pump impeller & clean the chopper assembly. Please note that dishwashers don't drain out the complete water such that heating element doesn't overheat. Hope this helps... Please post back for any further assistance.

Hi,

Make sure there is a high rise drain loop beneath the sink. If the drain hose is higher then what it goes into the drain motor may need to be replaced. Normally when this happens it is related to the drain hose.

Hi

If no visible lint is present then remove then turn off the dishwasher and remove the drain hose and check for any visible clogging.
