Barrel/tub locked in place
I have a front-load Frigidaire Affinity washer #FAFW3801LW5 where the tub/barrel/drum will not turn even if you try and turn it with your hand. There’s just no give to it.
I recently spoke to the repair guy from the store that it was purchased from and, without looking at it, he believes that the issue is with the transmission. Stating that it was due to being moved without using moving bolts. He stated that it was fixable, but would cost $800 to fix.
But is this true, or are there other possible causes? And could I possibly fix it myself? As I hate to think that I’d have pay a lot of money I don’t have to get it fixed.
