Frigidaire front load washers (including model FAFW3511KW0) are made under the Frigidaire brand, which is part of Electrolux. In other words, Electrolux is the parent company behind Frigidaire-branded washers sold in the U.S.

Quick brand breakdown

Here is the simplest way to think about it:

• Frigidaire is the brand name on the washer
• Electrolux is the parent company that owns the Frigidaire brand
• Your model number (FAFW3511KW0) identifies the exact washer design for parts and service

Why it matters when ordering parts

Knowing the brand and model helps us match the correct door, drain, and control components because front load washers often have similar-looking parts that are not interchangeable.

• Washer door lock assembly 131763256
• Water pump 137221600

On a Frigidaire front-load washer like model FAFW3511KW0, the parts that fail most often are the ones that handle water movement, door sealing/locking, and vibration control. When these parts wear out, you typically see leaking, no-drain/no-spin symptoms, error codes, or loud banging during spin.

Most common washer parts that fail (and what you’ll notice)

• Drain system: won’t drain, stops mid-cycle, water left in tub (often the pump or a blockage)
• Door lock and latch parts: won’t start, door won’t lock, “door” errors
• Water fill parts: slow fill, no fill, overfilling (inlet valve or screens)
• Door boot (bellows): leaks at the front, mildew odor, water on the floor near the door
• Suspension parts: excessive vibration, walking, banging during spin (shock absorbers)
• Controls and wiring: dead display, random stopping, buttons not responding (control board, harness)

Model-specific parts on FAFW3511KW0 that commonly solve these problems

If your symptoms match, these are the most frequently replaced components for this model:

Symptom	Likely failing part	Example part for this model
Washer won’t start, door won’t lock	Door lock system	Washer door lock assembly 131763256
Won’t drain, drains slowly	Drain pump	Water pump 137221600
Leaks at the door opening	Door seal	Bellows 134515300
Shakes or bangs in spin	Suspension	Shock absorber 5304485917
Won’t fill or fills incorrectly	Water valve	Washer water inlet valve 134371220

Quick checks before replacing parts

• Unplug the washer for 2 minutes, then restore power and retry a cycle.
• Check the load: overloading or a single heavy item can cause out-of-balance vibration.
• Verify both supply faucets are fully open; clean inlet hose screens if fill is slow.
• If it won’t drain, check for small items (coins, socks) that can jam the pump path.
• If you see an error code, match it to the symptom before ordering parts.

Why it matters

Front-load washers depend on a tight door seal, a reliable door lock, and a clear drain path. When one of these fails, the washer may stop for safety, leak, or leave water in the tub, which can also lead to odor and repeat failures.

For model-specific operation details and troubleshooting steps, use the FAFW3511KW0 owner’s manual. You can order replacement parts from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

To get your Frigidaire FAFW3511KW0 washer to drain, we start by canceling the cycle and selecting a drain/spin option, then checking for a kinked drain hose, a clogged pump filter or hose, or a failed drain pump. Use the steps in the owner's manual for your control settings.

Quick checks that fix most “won’t drain” problems

• Press Cancel (or Pause/Cancel) and then select Drain/Spin.
• Make sure the drain hose isn’t kinked, crushed, or frozen.
• Verify the drain hose height is reasonable; most front-load washers drain best when the hose is routed to a standpipe or laundry tub without being shoved too far down.
• Check the load: overloading or washing a single heavy item can prevent proper draining and spinning.
• If the tub is full of water, unplug the washer for 2 minutes, plug it back in, then try Drain/Spin again.

If it still won’t drain: likely causes on this model

On the FAFW3511KW0, the most common drain failures come from a restriction in the drain path or a weak/failed pump.

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do next
Hums but water stays in tub	Pump jam or blockage	Check for debris (coins, socks) in the drain path; inspect pump area
Drains slowly	Partial clog in hose or pump	Clear restriction; confirm hose routing
No pump sound at all	Electrical issue, control, or pump failure	Check wiring connections; test/replace pump if needed
Door stays locked with water in tub	Drain problem triggering lock	Restore draining first; then address door lock if it won’t release

Parts that commonly solve a no-drain issue

If you confirm the drain path is clear and the washer still will not pump water out, replacement parts often needed include:

• Water pump 137221600 (drain pump)
• Washer door lock assembly 131763256 (if the washer won’t unlock after draining issues)

You can order replacement parts for your FAFW3511KW0 from the parts list for this model, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Why it matters

A washer that cannot drain usually cannot spin properly, so clothes come out soaking wet and the machine may stop mid-cycle. Fixing the drain issue quickly also helps prevent odors and standing water problems.
