How to fix your Frigidaire dishwasher when it won't drain

If water remains in the tub after a cycle, check your kitchen sink drain for clogs. If it’s clear, press the Cancel button—most Frigidaire models will run the drain pump when you do.

If draining still doesn’t happen:

• Inspect the drain hose for blockages and clear any clogs. Some models have a check valve in the hose that prevents water from backing up; replace it if it’s damaged.
• A broken drain pump, damaged check valve, clogged drain path, or failed timer or electronic control board could also cause this issue.
• If the pump runs but doesn’t remove water, replace it. If it doesn’t run when powered by the control, it needs replacing.

Common repairs for Frigidaire dishwashers

Frigidaire dishwashers are extremely reliable, but like all appliances they can experience the occasional part failure.

Replace the timer

A failed timer can prevent your dishwasher from completing cycles. Replace a dishwasher timer if no longer advances through the cycles.

Replace the electronic control board

Some Frigidaire dishwashers use an electronic control board instead of a timer. The board runs all dishwasher functions, including filling, washing, drying, and draining. If you find it's no longer working as it should, replacing the electronic control board is an easy DIY repair.

Replace the door latch

If the door won’t latch and the dishwasher won’t start, it might be broken. Replace a dishwasher door latch so the cycle can begin.

Replace the control panel

When buttons or the display stop working, replace a dishwasher control panel to restore function.

Frigidaire dishwasher FAQs

Why aren’t my dishes getting clean?

If dishes come out dirty, check for clogged spray arm holes, a dirty filter, or a soap dispenser that’s not opening. Cleaning these areas and replacing damaged parts can often restore wash performance.

Why is my Frigidaire dishwasher making loud noises?

Grinding or rattling sounds may come from worn pump bearings, a failing motor, or loose spray arms. Remove foreign objects and replace worn components to quiet operation.

Why does my dishwasher run too long?

Faulty sensors, a clogged filter, or a malfunctioning control board can extend cycle times. Cleaning the filter and testing sensors can restore normal operation.

How often should I clean a Frigidaire dishwasher filter?

Clean the filter once a month or more often if you run frequent loads. This helps maintain water flow and prevents odors.

What’s the difference between a quick wash and a normal cycle?

Quick wash uses less water and time, ideal for lightly soiled dishes. Normal cycles run longer with more rinses for heavily soiled loads.
