Frigidaire FAFW3574KA0 front-loading washer Parts

To reset your Frigidaire FAFW3574KA0 front-loading washer, we recommend doing a simple power reset: turn the washer off, unplug it (or switch the breaker off) for about 1 minute, then restore power and start a cycle. This clears many temporary control glitches.

Quick reset steps (safe and effective)

• Press Cancel (or Pause/Cancel) to stop the current cycle.
• Turn the washer off.
• Unplug the power cord, or switch the washer circuit breaker off.
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Restore power, then select a normal cycle and press Start.

If the washer still will not start

These checks fix the most common “looks dead” or “won’t run” situations after a reset:

• Confirm the outlet has power (try a lamp or small appliance).
• Make sure the door is fully closed and latching; a door-latch issue can prevent operation.
• Verify the drain hose is secured and not siphoning; improper drain setup can interrupt cycles.
• If the tub is full of water, run Drain/Spin (if available) before starting a wash.

What “reset” can and cannot do

Reset type	What it does	Best for
Power reset (unplug/breaker)	Reboots the electronic control	Random stopping, unresponsive buttons, cycle not advancing
Cancel/Stop	Ends the current cycle	Wrong cycle selected, need to unlock and restart

Why it matters

A power reset is the fastest way to clear a temporary control-board lockup without replacing parts. If the washer repeatedly fails to lock the door or start after resets, the door lock system is a common place to inspect.

For model-specific operating steps and cycle behavior, follow the owner's manual.

The E41 error on a Frigidaire FAFW3574KA0 front-loading washer points to a door lock or door-closed sensing problem. We fix it by confirming the door is latching correctly, checking the strike and lock for damage or loose mounting, and testing the door lock switch for continuity per the owner's manual.

Quick checks that solve many E41 errors

• Press the door firmly closed, then start a cycle again.
• Remove any laundry caught between the door glass and the bellows.
• Inspect the door strike for cracks, looseness, or misalignment.
• Check that the door lock area is not obstructed by detergent residue.
• Power reset: unplug the washer for 2 minutes, then plug back in.

Parts to inspect first on FAFW3574KA0

If the door closes but the washer still beeps or won’t start, these parts are the most common causes:

Symptom	Most likely part	What you’ll notice
Door won’t “click” shut consistently	Strike 131763302	Strike looks worn, cracked, or sits crooked
Door locks sometimes, then errors	Washer door lock assembly 131763256	Intermittent lock, flashing lights, cycle won’t begin

How to test the door lock safely

1. Unplug the washer (important for shock prevention).
2. Access the door lock area (typically behind the front panel edge near the door opening).
3. Label wires before disconnecting anything.
4. Use a multimeter to check the door lock switch contacts for continuity when the lock is engaged.
5. Replace the failed component if the switch does not change state or the mechanism is physically damaged.

Why it matters

The washer must confirm the door is closed and locked before it will tumble or spin. Fixing the strike or door lock restores safe operation and prevents mid-cycle stops, no-start issues, and repeated error beeps.

To get your Frigidaire FAFW3574KA0 washer to drain, first cancel the cycle and select Drain/Spin (or a spin-only option) so the drain pump can run. If it still will not drain, the most common causes are a kinked drain hose, a standpipe issue, or a failed drain pump.

Quick checks that fix most no-drain problems

• Unplug the washer before inspecting hoses or wiring.
• Make sure the drain hose is not kinked, crushed, or pinched behind the cabinet.
• Confirm the drain hose is secured so it cannot pull out when water starts flowing (a loose hose can stop draining or cause a mess).
• Verify the standpipe height is 24 to 96 inches above the floor and the standpipe is at least 1-1/4 inch diameter.
• Check that the home drain can handle the flow; the drain system should be capable of eliminating 17 gallons per minute.

Drain hose and standpipe setup (what “correct” looks like)

Use these installation targets to rule out a drain setup problem.

Item	Recommended for FAFW3574KA0	What happens if it is wrong
Standpipe height	24 to 96 in.	Too low can siphon; too high can prevent pumping
Standpipe diameter	1-1/4 in. minimum	Can overflow or restrict flow
Drain capacity	17 gal/min	Slow drain, backups, or no-drain symptoms

When it is likely a part problem

If the drain setup is correct and the washer hums, stalls, or leaves water in the tub, the drain pump is a top suspect. On this model, the replacement pump is the water pump 137221600.

Other clues it is the pump:

• You hear a humming/buzzing but little or no water movement
• Draining works sometimes, then fails again
• The washer stops before spin because it cannot empty

Why it matters

A front-loading washer like the FAFW3574KA0 must drain fully before it can spin properly. Fixing the drain path (hose, standpipe, or pump) prevents wet loads, odor issues, and repeat cycle interruptions.

For model-specific operating steps and cycle selections, follow the owner's manual.

Error code E35 on a Frigidaire FAFW3574KA0 front-loading washer means the washer is sensing an overfill condition (the pressure sensor indicates the water level is too high). Stop the cycle, turn off both water faucets, and drain the tub before running the washer again.

What to do right away

• Press Cancel to stop the cycle.
• Turn OFF the hot and cold water supply valves.
• If the tub is full, run Drain/Spin (or drain the water manually if needed).
• Unplug the washer for 1 minute, then restore power and try a quick rinse.
• If E35 returns, leave the water valves off until the cause is corrected.

Most common causes (and what to check)

E35 is usually triggered by a fill problem or a false water-level signal.

• Stuck-open or leaking fill valve: Water continues entering even when the washer should stop. Consider the washer water inlet valve 134371220.
• Suds or oversudsing: Too much HE detergent can trap air and confuse water-level sensing.
• Drain restriction: If water cannot pump out fast enough, the level can rise during fills. Check the drain path and consider the water pump 137221600 if the pump is noisy, seized, or not moving water.
• Pressure hose/air trap issue: A kinked hose, blockage, or loose connection can cause incorrect pressure readings.
• Control issue: Less common, but a control board problem can misread the sensor or keep filling.

Quick troubleshooting checklist

Check	What you are looking for	Typical fix
Water entering with washer OFF	Slow fill into tub	Replace inlet valve
Excess foam in tub	Thick suds, long drain times	Reduce detergent, run rinse
Drain flow	Slow or no draining	Clear filter/hoses, inspect pump
Hose connections	Loose, kinked, pinched	Reroute and secure

Why it matters

An overfill condition can lead to leaks, poor wash performance, and strain on the drain system. Correcting the fill or drain cause quickly helps protect the door lock, tub, and electronic controls.

Model-specific tip

For safe setup and water-connection guidance (including tightening hoses and checking for leaks), follow the steps in the installation guide.
