Frigidaire ATF6000FS0 washer Parts

Yes. Most Frigidaire front-load washers, including model ATF6000FS0, use a drain pump filter (often called a coin trap) to catch lint and small items before they reach the drain pump. Cleaning it helps prevent slow draining, standing water, and drain errors.

Where the filter is and what it does

On many front-load designs, the filter is part of the drain pump assembly and is accessed from the lower front area of the washer (behind a small access panel or the lower kick panel). Use the ATF6000FS0 owner's manual for the exact access method and panel removal steps for your washer.

What the filter typically catches:

• Coins, hair pins, and small socks
• Lint and pet hair
• Buttons and debris that can jam the impeller

How we recommend cleaning it (safe, typical steps)

1. Unplug the washer.
2. Place towels and a shallow pan under the lower front area.
3. Slowly open the filter cap to let water drain out.
4. Remove debris; rinse the filter and wipe the housing.
5. Reinstall the filter snugly; run a quick rinse and drain to check for leaks.

Tips that prevent mess and damage:

• Open the filter slowly; water can release fast.
• Check the filter O-ring for nicks or flattening.
• If the cap will not turn, do not force it; clear pressure by draining first.

When a “filter problem” is really a drain pump problem

If the washer still will not drain after cleaning the filter, the drain pump may be clogged internally or failing electrically. For ATF6000FS0, the correct replacement is the washer drain pump 137221600.

Symptom	Most common cause	What to do next
Slow drain, gurgling	Partially blocked filter	Clean filter and housing
Hums but no drain	Jammed pump impeller	Inspect pump inlet, remove debris
No pump sound	Pump or control issue	Check wiring, then test/replace pump

Why it matters

A clean pump filter protects the drain pump, reduces odor from trapped debris, and helps the washer reach full spin speed (many washers will not spin fast if they cannot drain properly).

A bottom leak on your Frigidaire washer model ATF6000FS0 is usually caused by a drain system issue (pump or hoses), a door boot leak that runs down the cabinet, or an installation drain hose problem. We recommend running a quick cycle and watching where the first drip appears.

Quick checks (fastest to confirm)

• Unplug the washer before inspecting internal parts.
• Pull the washer forward and look for water trails on the cabinet base.
• Check the drain hose connection at the standpipe or laundry tub; make sure it is secured so it cannot pull out during draining.
• Run a Drain/Spin and watch for leaking only during drain (points to pump or drain hose).
• Check the door glass and gasket area; residue or debris on the gasket can prevent a watertight seal.

Most common causes and what you will see

When it leaks	Most likely area	What it looks like
Only while draining/spinning	Drain pump or pump hoses	Water appears quickly, often from the center bottom
During fill or wash tumble	Inlet valve or fill hoses	Drips from rear, then runs forward underneath
After wash, water tracks down front	Door boot (gasket)	Wetness around door opening, then puddle under front

Parts that commonly fix a bottom leak on ATF6000FS0

If the leak happens during draining, the pump is a top suspect. If the leak tracks from the door area, the boot and clamp are common fixes.

• Washer drain pump 137221600
• Washer door boot kit 134515300
• Washer door boot spring clamp 134527100
• Washer water inlet valve 134371220

Why it matters

Even a small leak can damage flooring and can also lead to vibration problems if water reaches the base and components. Catching the source early usually keeps the repair limited to a hose, clamp, or pump.

Use the model instructions to confirm installation and leak-check steps

The installation instructions for this washer call for securing the drain hose and then running a complete cycle to check for water leaks and proper operation; follow the steps in the installation guide.

On a Frigidaire Affinity style washer like model ATF6000FS0, error code E23 points to a drain pump relay problem on the main control board. The fix is usually checking the drain pump wiring first, then replacing the control if the relay circuit has failed.

What to check first (fast, common fixes)

• Unplug the washer before accessing wiring or components.
• Confirm the washer actually drains; if it will not drain, inspect the pump and hoses for blockage.
• Check the wire connections between the drain pump and the control for loose plugs, corrosion, or damaged wires.
• Look for signs of a failing pump (humming, intermittent draining, burning smell).
• If the wiring and pump test good, the control board relay is the likely failure.

Parts that commonly relate to E23 on ATF6000FS0

If you determine a component is faulty, these are the most common parts involved:

Symptom you see	Most likely area	Part to consider (if failed)
Won’t drain, water left in tub	Drain system	Washer drain pump 137221600
Drains sometimes, then throws E23	Wiring or control relay	Control board 134743500
Door stays locked because cycle can’t finish	Door lock circuit reacting to drain fault	Door lock switch 131763256

Why it matters

The washer relies on the drain pump relay circuit to safely move to rinse and high-speed spin. When the control senses the relay is not switching correctly, it stops the cycle to prevent overflow, poor rinsing, or a no-spin condition.

Helpful references for this model

• Use the ATF6000FS0 owner’s manual for safety steps and access guidance.
• Use the ATF6000FS0 installation guide for grounding and power requirements; unstable power or improper grounding can contribute to control and relay issues.
• For code lookups and related symptoms, see Frigidaire front load washer error codes.

On the Frigidaire ATF6000FS0 washer, diagnostic (service) mode is entered using a specific console key sequence that matches your exact control panel. We use the ATF6000FS0 owner's manual for the correct button combination and the steps to navigate tests and stored error codes.

How to enter diagnostics safely

• Make sure the washer is idle (no cycle running) and the tub is not full of water.
• Close the door firmly; the door must latch for most tests.
• Press Power to wake the control (do not start a cycle).
• Follow the exact diagnostic key sequence shown in the ATF6000FS0 owner's manual.
• When accepted, the display and/or console indicators change state (often multiple lights illuminate), confirming you are in diagnostics.

What to do once you are in diagnostic mode

Use the manual’s navigation steps to move through tests and read any stored codes.

What you want to check	What diagnostics helps you confirm	Parts commonly involved
Door won’t lock or cycle won’t start	Door lock test, door status	Door lock switch 131763256
Washer won’t drain	Pump/drain function during test	Washer drain pump 137221600
Dead or erratic controls	Control response during test	Control board 134743500

If you cannot access diagnostic mode

• Unplug the washer for 2 minutes, then restore power and retry.
• Verify the outlet has power and the cord is fully seated.
• Confirm the door closes tightly; a failed lock can prevent entry into tests.
• If the console stays unresponsive, inspect wiring connections to the control; replace the control only after confirming power and harness connections.

Why it matters

Diagnostic mode speeds up troubleshooting by pointing to the system that is failing (door lock, drain, or control electronics) so you can choose the right Frigidaire washer part and avoid repeat repairs.
