FAFW3577K
Frigidaire FAFW3577K White Washer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Door boot seal, gasket drain and mildew
- Dispenser drawer and inlet water flow
- Drain pump and hose
- Level stance and shock absorbers
White cabinets show leaks and rust streaks quickly, which is one reason owners of the FAFW3577K call us early. This is an Affinity front-load washer with a 3.5 cu. ft. drum and a Classic White finish, and it is also sold under endings such as KA, KB and KN. Its production has ended, yet it remains a regular in Houston laundry closets.
Moisture is the enemy of any front-loader in our climate. We open the boot and look for black mildew, check the dispenser drawer for caked detergent and make sure the drain channel is not blocked. Drainage problems lead to a second set of checks: the hose, the pump filter and the pump. If the washer shakes, we level it and test the suspension.
Parts are ordered after we read the exact revision from the washer. Before work, you get the cost in writing and decide whether to go ahead. We tell you when an older unit is not worth more money, and every repair is backed for 30 days.

How do you stop a front-load washer from smelling?
We clean the boot, dispenser and drain pump filter, then show you how to dry the seal between loads. If the smell returns quickly, a blocked drain channel or damaged boot may be the cause.
Why does detergent stay in the drawer?
Low water flow to the dispenser or caked detergent is usually the cause. We rinse the drawer and its channels and test the inlet valve and screens to restore the flow.
Are KA, KB and KN washers the same size?
They share the base FAFW3577K number, so the drum size should match. Finish and revision can still change parts, so we order from your washer's plate and not from the base number alone.
