Easy replacement. Once I got the diagnostic mode working.
Initially, I believed RepairClinic who told me it was most likely the valve assembly. It wasn’t (which I discovered during additional poking before that part arrived).
To diagnose my machine (a Frigidaire/Electrolux GLTF2940FS1), one turns the knob all the way to the right (Touch up), hit pause to clear the lights, then hold pause and option past the first LED light and then when they all turn on. You then turn the knob counter clockwise 9 clicks to see the last diagnostic code. One can find the diagnostic codes online along with testing protocols ( search for ‘Frigidaire frontline diagnostics’ but know that the diagnostic mode setup is wrong - go to ‘Touch up’).
Anyway, once I found the code, I tested the motor per the suggested test which led to the diagnosis of the bad motor control board.
I pulled the motor by unbolting 3 5/16 hex screws, and removing the wiring harness from the motor. I then removed the motor control board and removed the three wire harness attachments.
The kit comes with a piece of double-sticky tape and no instructions. There are videos on YouTube that show you to use the double-sticky tape on the underside of the mounting bracket which I did. I placed the wires back and then mounted the board. After that, I put the motor back and reconnected those wires as well.
The whole job was about 1/2 hour once I got the part. It was harder to move the washer to work on it than to actually replace the board.
The washer works like a champ again!
