Hi all:

Looking for some help; Fridgidaire Front Loader not completeing the final spin.

Checked diags and the code came up E43, Control Board Problem = Replace the Control board.

So, I promptly ordered the control board from this site, installed it and.. No Joy on the final spin - still not working. Interestingly, I could not get the new control board to go into diagnostic mode... I could read the error code and it remained a E43.

Reinstalled the old control board and now the Frau can spin out the clothes using the diag mode. And yes, it does spin in diag mode.

Now I'd really like to get this fixed and after reading the forum on similar isses with other Fridgidaire machines it seems it can also be the Speed Control board (motor control board?) as well as the door switch. I did test the door switch using the diagnostics and it passes, not to mention the door does lock, but could it still cause the spin cycle to fail? I did check all the connections on the speed control board as some suggested but no joy there either.

Any ideas? Speed Controller or Door Switch? I'll be returning the control board but would like to get the right part. Not keen on the $164 Speed controller but if that does it.... so be it.

Any help is appreciated!

Regards,
Bill.

Thanks Sid!

I was thinking that's the best next logical step. Thanks for the confirmation

Will work on swapping the parts tomorrow.

Best regards,
Bill.

Wellll... No joy on the Motor Control board. Installed the new one tonight and the final spin is a no-go.

I pulled out the door switch just for grins and it's mostly/all electro-mechanical with no discreet logic that I can see. Appears to be in working order (had the cover apart and checked all the connections). As I said earlier, the door lock diag passes and the machine works fine except for the final spin.

I also read that the water level sensor might cause problems but I can't fathom (pun intended) why it would affect the final spin.

There's not much else I can replace so I am beginning to wonder if the replacement control board was in working order; When installed it appeared to work fine (except for the final spin of course) but would not go into diagnostic mode... makes me wonder if it was good/the right match.

Any ideas on what I can/should do? It's a fine machine; works well, cleans great, etc., would really like to get it back in working order.

Any help is appreciated!

Regards,
Bill.
