Product Overview

Though Frigidaire has become a household name for freezers and refrigerators, the appliance company has also expanded to include many other innovations, including washing machines. FTF2140F is a 10-cycle front load washer that accommodates enough laundry tasks than other washers because of its acceptable capacity of 3.5 cubic feet.

Like other front loaders, FTF2140 also doesn't have an agitator and requires less water consumption.

Therefore, it can accommodate more loads and can work more efficiently. This model comes with dispensers for fabric conditioner, bleach, and detergent, which can all be set automatically.

The Tumble Action Cleaning System also enables clean washing and can handle the laundry needs of three to four people, although this washer is not one with the largest capacity.

Washing ability


Aside from 10 wash cycles, it also comes with three wash and four speed combination. Basically, all that's needed is to configure the wash/rinse cycles of the FTF2140 to come up with the perfect wash for different types of fabric and cloth.

The wash cycle depends on the fabric of the clothing and the amount of dirt or grime. To remove stains, the washer is set for longer wash time and more cycles. The water level is automatically set by the washer, depending on the preferred settings and load.

Programming


The heavy soil/stain cycle is best for hard to treat stains that works by allowing longer soaking time and more thorough wash cycle. Thanks to the electronic controls, FTF2140 also allows for easy programming to meet the needs of many users.

There are also indicator lights that help estimate the wait time, so users can still accomplish other tasks while doing the laundry.

Neat features


The 8-hour delay-start timer is another good feature of this
front loader washer. Because of this feature, it's easier to configure the washer to one's own convenience. Other interesting programs and neat additions to normal front loaders are cycle status lights, door lock light, on/off end-of-cycle signal, and the stainless steel wash basket. All these make Frigidaire FTF2140 work better than other washing machines.
