Frigidaire Fwx221as1 washer clicking drain pump and poor draining

The problem

The Frigidaire Fwx221as1 washing machine was making a clicking noise during draining and was not draining fully, although it would drain with extra drain cycles. A burning smell was also reported, but this was not reproduced during checks.

Likely cause

Most strongly supported diagnosis is a faulty drain pump. The accepted reply noted pump noises are often caused by small obstructions, but the original poster had already checked for blockage and reported the clicking remained even with the pump removed from the hoses and housing.

What fixed it

Replace the drain pump. The accepted solution advised replacement as soon as possible because the pump was noisy and not draining properly, and the original poster confirmed a new pump had been ordered. The discussion does not confirm the final repair result after fitting.

Checks to try

• Checked for blockage and found none
• Ran the pump with hoses disconnected and housing off; clicking noise remained
• Checked the pump electrical connection
• Checked the wire connected to the washer
• Used a multimeter to check for correct voltage
