GLTF2940ES
Frigidaire Gallery GLTF2940ES Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Door lock and switch assembly
- Drain pump and its filter
- Shock absorbers under the tub
- Boot seal for slow leaks
Twenty-seven inches wide with a drum near 3.5 cu. ft. and 14 cycles, the GLTF2940ES is a Gallery front-load washer that Frigidaire has discontinued. Production revisions carry an extra digit, such as ES0, ES1 or ES3, and each can use different parts. Houston homeowners who bought one often kept it in a laundry room off the kitchen or garage.
The parts people replace most on a front-load washer like this are the door lock and switch assembly, the drain pump and the shock absorbers, so we start with those. A washer that refuses to start usually has a door lock problem. One that leaves water behind has a pump or filter issue. One that bangs on spin needs its absorbers examined, and we do that with the drum empty and loaded.
Because of the revision digits, the plate on your washer matters more than usual. We read it, check that the parts exist and give you a written price before any work. Approved repairs are covered for 30 days.

Why does the revision digit after ES matter?
Washers built in different production runs can use different locks, pumps or boards. The extra digit tells us which run yours came from, so we read it before ordering parts.
My GLTF2940ES won't start and the door seems locked. Why?
The lock assembly may be stuck or its switch may not be confirming the latch. We test the lock and switch with a meter and check the wiring before recommending a replacement.
How do I know the shock absorbers are tired?
The washer bangs or moves during spin even when it is level and lightly loaded. We lift and release the tub, feel how it recovers and replace the absorbers only when they fail that test.
