Frigidaire GLTF2940EE0 washer Parts

The Frigidaire GLTF2940EE0 is a 27-inch front-load washer with a 3.5 cu. ft. capacity. This is the tub size used to estimate how much laundry the washer can handle per load; it helps you choose proper load size and detergent amount.

How much laundry fits in 3.5 cu. ft.?

Most 3.5 cu. ft. front-load washers handle medium-to-large loads. For best cleaning and spinning performance, we recommend:

• Fill the drum loosely; do not pack items down
• Keep a hand’s width of space at the top of the load
• Wash bulky items (comforters, blankets) one at a time when possible
• Mix large and small items to balance the load
• Use HE detergent and measure carefully to reduce oversudsing

Quick capacity guide

Load type	Typical examples	Practical tip
Small	A few shirts, light items	Good for quick cycles
Medium	Mixed daily laundry	Most common load size
Large	Towels, jeans, heavier items	Avoid overfilling for better spin

Why it matters

Capacity affects cleaning, rinse quality, and vibration during spin. Overloading can leave detergent residue, cause poor draining or spinning, and increase wear on suspension components.

For model-specific use and care details (cycle guidance, loading tips, and operating notes), use the GLTF2940EE0 owner’s manual.

Yes. Many Frigidaire Affinity front-load laundry pairs are designed to be stacked using the correct manufacturer stacking kit for the specific washer and dryer models. For your Frigidaire GLTF2940EE0 washer, we recommend confirming the approved stacking method and hardware in the GLTF2940EE0 installation guide before stacking.

How to confirm your washer and dryer can be stacked

Stacking compatibility depends on the exact washer and dryer model numbers, plus the correct stacking kit.

• Verify both model numbers from the rating labels (washer and dryer)
• Check the installation requirements and accessory guidance for your washer
• Use only the stacking kit specified for the Affinity series pair you own
• Confirm the floor is solid and level before stacking
• Keep the power cord and water connections accessible after installation

What you typically need to stack an Affinity laundry pair

Most Frigidaire front-load stacking setups require a dedicated stacking kit that locks the dryer to the washer and helps prevent shifting.

Item	Purpose	Notes
Stacking kit	Secures dryer to washer	Must match the washer and dryer series/models
Level, stable floor	Reduces vibration and walking	Re-level after moving the units
Proper electrical outlet	Safe power connection	Use a grounded 3-prong receptacle

Why it matters

Stacking saves space, but it also increases the importance of stability, leveling, and using the correct hardware. A mismatched kit or an unlevel installation can lead to excessive vibration, noise, or movement during spin.

On the Frigidaire GLTF2940EE0 washer, an E2-style drain error points to a drain problem: the washer is not pumping water out fast enough to continue or finish the cycle. We fix it by checking the drain path (hose and standpipe), then inspecting the drain pump and related wiring.

Quick checks that solve most drain errors

• Unplug the washer for safety.
• Make sure the drain hose is not kinked, crushed, or pushed too far down into the standpipe.
• Check the standpipe or laundry tub for a slow household drain (a partial clog can mimic a washer failure).
• Run a Drain/Spin cycle after correcting the hose position.
• If the washer stopped mid-cycle, close the dispenser drawer fully; an open drawer can stop operation.

Parts that commonly cause a drain error

If the hose and household drain are OK, the next most common cause is a weak or jammed pump.

What you notice	Most likely cause	What to do next
Hums but won’t drain	Pump impeller jam, debris	Inspect pump area; replace pump if damaged
Drains slowly	Partial blockage, weak pump	Clear restriction; consider pump replacement
Won’t drain at all	Failed pump or control issue	Test pump power and wiring; replace failed part

If you need the correct replacement for this model, use the washer drain pump 137221600.

Step-by-step: what we check (in order)

• Verify the washer is getting power (reset a tripped breaker if needed).
• Confirm the drain hose routing and height match the GLTF2940EE0 installation guide.
• Inspect for clogs in the drain hose and at the standpipe.
• Check the pump for debris and listen for abnormal noise.
• If the pump is noisy, seized, or not moving water, replace it.

Why it matters

A drain error can leave water in the tub, prevent high-speed spin, and cause repeated cycle stops. Fixing the drain path first avoids unnecessary part replacement and gets the washer back to finishing cycles normally.

On a Frigidaire GLTF2940EE0 washer, the F29 error code means the washer is not filling properly (long fill or failure to pressurize). We troubleshoot the water supply path first, then the inlet valve and related wiring; follow the steps in the GLTF2940EE0 owner’s manual.

What to check first (fast, no tools)

• Confirm both hot and cold faucets are fully open.
• Make sure inlet hoses are not kinked, crushed, or leaking.
• Remove the hoses and rinse the inlet screen filters at the valve (sediment slows fill).
• Verify the home has normal water pressure and that other faucets flow strongly.
• Power reset: unplug the washer for 2 minutes, then retry a fill cycle.

Likely causes and the best next step

If the supply and screens are good, the washer may not be opening the valve consistently.

What you observe	Most likely cause	What to do next
No water enters at all	Closed faucet, kinked hose, clogged screens, failed valve	Check supply and screens; test/replace valve
Slow fill on hot or cold only	Clogged screen on that side or valve solenoid issue	Clean screens; inspect valve
Fills briefly then stops	Intermittent valve, wiring, or control issue	Check harness connections; run a diagnostic fill

For GLTF2940EE0, the correct fill component to consider is the washer water inlet valve 134371220.

Why it matters

A long fill condition can stop the cycle, leave detergent undissolved, and cause poor rinsing. Fixing the water-in path first prevents unnecessary replacement of higher-cost parts like the control board.
