Hi,
Does this occur when the washer is in use?
Don’t know the answer but according to the owner manual:
Push in or turn the cycle selector knob or turn any option knob to "wake" the washer. You will hear three short beeps to indicate washer is ready to operate. After making your selections, push in the selector knob to start the cycle. You will hear one short beep and the washer lid will lock.
Perhaps if you hear the beeps when the washer is not in use, the cycle selector switch has to be either pulled out or in the home position. It may be just a reminder that it is ready to go otherwise.
Alternatively it may be if it is truly random and not in a time pattern that then there may be intermittent interruptions to the power supply to the unit.
Depending on your location there is either a single 240V power feed or a 2 x 120V power feed. If it is a 240V power feed you may be able to try connecting to another power outlet which uses a different fuse. If it is a 2 x 120V supply then unfortunately you cannot try this as the power outlet that the washer is connected to is specifically wired for the washer i.e. 2 fuses for the washer in the power box of the premises
Disconnect the washer’s power cord from the wall outlet if it is really annoying and only plug in when wanting to use it. That should stop the beeps. This will also reduce your power bill (not much but over 12 months it can add up. ;-), as a lot of appliances still draw a small amount of power when stopped but not turned off at the outlet i.e. standby power. I think that your unit will use power when not in use given that it can be turned on by “turning any option knob” to “wake” the unit as described in the manual. Option knobs usually aren’t power on/off switches.

My Frigidaire Washer Dryer Combo FFLG4033QT0 unit was beeping at our cabin this weekend. Couldn’t figure it out. Without any predictable pattern 1 beep or a few beeps. Its manufacture date is 2/16. We haven’t used it more than 20 times.

I have the exact same problem with the same combo washer / dryer. Did you determine the cause / correction?
Thanks

Mine does the same. Random 3 beeps several times a day every day.

Hello! Mine is doing this now. Any updates on what it was?

My Frigidaire stackable washer / dryer does the 3 quick beeps, but it also will not unlock the washing machine lid and I have to keep turning the cycle selector and turning the electrical breaker off then back on... and it's anyone's guess when it will unlock.
Sometimes I get so frustrated that I walk away and I hear the washer lid unlock maybe 30 to 60 minutes later all on it's own.
Can anyone tell me why all this is happening? I've already paid an appliance repair man $300.00 dollars, he changed the water inlet valve which I don't think was the problem at all... because it's still doing the same thing I called him out to fix.
By the way the name of the appliance repair company I used was Rogue Appliance Repair outside the New Orleans area... NEVER, NEVER call this company. They will not come back to figure out what is wrong with my washing machine... unless I pay them for another service call. Great repair warranty... right?
