I have a Frigidaire Front Loader FTFB4000FS1 washer. No matter what setting I have it on, whether drain/spin or any wash setting, the washer will run for 3 seconds and then stop. The lights on the control board stay lit, it seems like something is telling the washer to stop. I have just put in a NEW control panel board & door lock and I still get the same results. When i start the drain/spin cycle it will drain fine I can hear the water draining freely. When I start the normal. heavy, quick, etc wash setting it will start to fill the washer fine. However, it still turns off after around 3 seconds every time. I do not have a timer setting so I believe I can rule that out? When I tested the Ohms on the old door lock it read 1326 Ohms which led me to believe it was bad. However, on the new one it is reading 1206 Ohms so doesn't make much sense to me now. I'm not sure if I should even at this point replace the motor control board and pump because I honestly don't think they are bad. Is there documentation or can somone tell me what the resistance is on the motor control board and pump so I can see hows those fair? Does the pressure switch at the top right of the machine control the washer at that point? I thought the washer would not even start to fill if the switch was bad, but the drain cycle wouldn't be stopping also because of the pressure switch. I've said alot, any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

I am having the same problem, was Wonder if you found the root to this problem? Havind the same problem myself with a similar machine is a Frigidaire front load sane model as yours and it puts water in for about 3 seconds then stops, door switch is fine control board is fine and pump is fine, tries to drain but power to the pump cuts on and off..?

I hope someone comes up saying they have found something because this is a common problem for this Frigidaire front load washer about 3 years old. It looks and someone also told me it could be a short down in the back by the motor there could be a broken wire, I looked myself and there it was a brokend blue wire down by the motor control, I did repaired the wire but still didn't fixed the problem I will keep looking to see if there might be another broken wire.

Was anyone able to fix this problem? Any information would be appreciated.

I took the back cover off and didn't see any broken or kinked wires. The washer turns on for a few seconds then stops in the middle of the cycle. It doesn't matter what setting is chosen. The washer begins to fill with water and starts to spin so it doesn't seem like a water or motor issue. It doesn't seem like a broken wire but we replaced the control board and water inlet valve like the recommendations for the error code suggested.
