This is a front loader just over a year old.
We purchased this 2/24/08 - Its about 6 weeks past warranty!
Go figure! Murphy at his best..
Our washer is not spinning clothes dry.
It appears to tumble the clothes but just not working like it should.
I've tried different cycles.
I would assume the belt is good as it is doing the tumble / aggitating.
Please suggest something - with 4 kids we use this too much on a daily basis. Down time creates large piles of laundry.
Thanks in advance.

Two things
1. Does it spin at all, and if so, can you tell if the spinning is slower than normal or shorter time than normal.
2. Look at your owner's manual and see if there is an easy way to clean out the pump and drain hose system. You may have an obstruction (very typical with a large family with kids). Note when you do this expect a lot of water to run all over, so be prepared.
I would contact both Frigidaire and the place you purchased the macine ASAP and explain the problem to them, including the fact that you are just out of warranty. They might honor the warranty since you are so close.
If you cannot get warranty satisfaction, post the answers to question 1 and 2 and I will try and get you a diagnosis.

Ok, I have looked at the Frigidaire stuff, and while they do not say anything directly about your problem that is helpful, on the parts diagrams they show a "trap" in the hose leading out of your tub to your pump. This is designed to trap debris before it gets to the pump and ruins the pump.
More importantly, it appears that there is a filter in this trap, to further protect the pump!! Since the machine works otherwise, this is most likely your problem, the water is not sufficiently draining and leaving your clother wetter than they need to be.
Let us know if you are able to get to the trap/filter and if that is the problem.
