# How to Remove Frigidaire Trunnions
The trunnion is a metal circular component in your washing machine used in the washing and agitating cycles. If you notice the machine wash cycle not spinning or otherwise functioning incorrectly, it could be a faulty trunnion. While you don't have to call a repair technician to fix the problem, the process does involve partial disassembly of the washing machine.
