Have a stacked Frigidaire Laundry Center. Pulled trim and panels off. Have access to the front. Motor just buzzes and won't agitate, spin, or drain. Anyone troubleshoot these units?
Book says its 196lbs so not looking forward to getting it out. Might have to do what Scott suggest with a sawz all, but would like to put the $1,500 into something more fun than a new unit.
Any advice welcomed

Have you tried bypassing the lid switch?

Re: Laundry Center
Have you tried getting in from the dinette area? Cutting it up is the easy part. Finding the issue is the hard part. There is space behind the WD that a youg thin person can get to. You might find the issue from the back side since it’s open to the motor. Good luck.

Re: Laundry Center
The motor is trying to run but is not able to spin up. It just buzzes. K I can turn the agitator by hand from below in a counter clockwise direction. I have full access from the front and have removed the front panel.

Re: Laundry Center
start with the basics. Open it up, check the belt bearings etc. or call an appliance repair service. If you have to replace The pain is having to remove the doors, trim, hand rail etc
