Frigidaire FLCE7522AW Repair

Frigidaire’s record for the FLCE7522AW describes an electric laundry center with a 3.9 cu ft washer below and a 5.5 cu ft dryer above. It is a space-saver, so you usually find it where a full-size pair would not fit: a bathroom alcove, a kitchen closet or a narrow utility room.

That is part of the estimate, once we have seen the machine and its label.

Where this kind of unit gets into trouble

A stacked unit puts a lot of vibration and moisture into one frame. Washer drain hoses slip out of standpipes, dryer vents get squashed when the unit is pushed back, and rental closets often have little clearance. The result is the familiar short list: water around the base, damp clothes after a dryer cycle, or a door that will not latch.

• Washer fills but drains slowly or not at all
• Dryer tumbles but does not dry in one cycle
• Both halves dead after a breaker trips
• Loud thumping that follows the spin cycle

What the display may tell you

For the dryer half, a vent warning is explained on the dryer EF1 page, and thermistor faults are listed under E71 and E73. For the washer half, fill trouble is on the E1 page. If your display shows something else, bring it to us as you read it.

What to look at before calling

Check that the dryer exhaust is not crushed and the lint screen is clean. Make sure the water taps behind the unit are open and the drain hose is still in the standpipe. Confirm the circuit breaker is on. Do not attempt to open the cabinet; two appliances share its wiring.

If clothes stay damp, the article on a dryer that needs two cycles explains the likely causes. The wider Frigidaire laundry center repair guide covers installation details.

Planning the visit

A photo of the model label and a note on which half has the problem is all we need. We diagnose, put the estimate in writing and wait for your approval.

Living with a stacked unit

Keep the closet door open during dryer cycles so heat and moisture can escape, and leave room around the base for the washer hose. If the unit has been pushed back to tidy the closet, that is the first thing to undo. Our broader laundry coverage is on Frigidaire laundry centers.
