Water fills, heats, and pump drains unit.
Timer completes full cycle.
Door latch will start timer as usual.
When timer hits wash or rinse cycle there is nothing.
No click,
No hum,
And no spraying action.

Any insight appreciated. Thanks

Here is the wiring diagram
http://manuals.frigidaire.com/prodinfo_pdf/Kinston/154521601.pdf

Check across the motor for voltage during the wash.

If it is getting 120 volts then your motor is probably toast.
Part number: AP4312350
Part number: AP4312350


If it is not getting voltage.
Remove the inner door panel and the wires from the motor.
Then check the wires for continuity up to the control board.
Could be a wire has broken internally.
If all OK
Then probably your timer is toast

Here is a manual which should be a close match to your unit

If you do not own a meter, I would suggest you purchase a one. You can get a decent digital multimeter for under $20.00. You do not need fancy though it is nice if the leads are a couple feet long.
If it saves ordering one unnecessary part it has paid for itself and you end up owning a useful tool.
Most places will not let you return electrical parts so if you order it, you own it.
A couple things to watch when measuring ohms and continuity
1. Always remove power from the machine otherwise you could blow your meter.
2. Always disconnect at least one side of any device you are checking. This eliminates the possibility of measuring an alternate/parallel circuit path.
3. When checking for closed contacts and continuity use the lowest scale (Usually 200 ohms). Then try higher scales. This scale is 0 to 200 ohms so if the device you are measuring is 300 ohms this scale would show an open circuit which it is not, you are just measuring outside the scale's dynamic range.

There is a good STICKY at the start of this forum about it's use.
