Frigidaire FFCD2413UB1A dishwasher Parts

For the Frigidaire FFCD2413UB1A dishwasher, the most common issue we see is a draining problem that leaves water in the bottom of the tub after the cycle. This is often tied to a restriction in the filter area, drain path, or a drain component that is not moving water out as designed (see the FFCD2413UB1A owner's manual).

What to check first (fast, no-parts steps)

• Confirm the cycle fully ended and you did not pause it mid-drain.
• Look for standing water in the tub bottom after the cycle; that points to a drain issue.
• Clean the filter area and remove debris that can block water flow.
• Check the sink/disposer connection for a clog (common after disposer installs).
• Inspect the drain hose routing for kinks, crushing, or a low spot that traps water.

When it is likely a part problem

If the drain path is clear but water still remains, the drain pump or a related drain component is a common next suspect.

Common parts involved on FFCD2413UB1A:

• Drain pump a A00126401 (moves water out during drain)
• Dishwasher drain hose 807117001 (carries drain water to the sink/disposer)
• Dishwasher filter 5304532206 (helps prevent debris from reaching the pump)

Quick symptom guide

Symptom	Most likely area	What we do next
Water left in bottom after cycle	Drain restriction or drain pump	Clean filter, check hose, then test/replace pump
Dishwasher will not start	Door not fully latched, control issue	Verify door closes firmly; check power and cycle selection
Poor cleaning	Loading, water temp/pressure, filter	Correct loading, clean filter, verify hot water supply

Why it matters

A dishwasher that does not drain properly can re-deposit soil, create odors, and strain the pump and motor over time. Restoring normal drain flow is the quickest way to get performance back to normal.

On your Frigidaire FFCD2413UB1A dishwasher, you clear most error codes by canceling the current cycle: press and hold START/CANCEL for 3 seconds with the door latched. The dishwasher will run a 90-second drain, then you can select a new cycle and restart.

Quick reset steps (most common)

• Make sure the door is fully closed and latched.
• Press and hold START/CANCEL for 3 seconds.
• Wait for the 90-second drain to finish.
• Select your desired cycle.
• Press START/CANCEL to start.

For the exact button sequence and indicator-light behavior on this model, follow the FFCD2413UB1A owner’s manual.

If the controls seem “stuck” (control lock)

This model can lock the controls, which can look like an error or prevent clearing it.

• With the door latched, press and hold OPTIONS for 3 seconds to toggle Control Lock.
• Confirm the lock indicator turns off.
• Then repeat the cancel/reset steps above.

What to check if the code comes back

Many recurring codes are caused by a drain or wash issue that the reset will not fix.

Symptom after reset	What to check first	Common related part
Water remains in tub	Drain path, hose routing, sink/disposer connection	Dishwasher drain hose 807117001
Poor cleaning, debris	Filter and sump area for buildup	Dishwasher filter 5304532206
Won’t drain, humming	Drain pump operation and blockage	Drain pump a A00126401

Why it matters

Canceling the cycle clears the active fault state and forces a drain, which helps protect the kitchen from overflow and lets you restart cleanly. If the same code returns, the dishwasher is detecting the same condition again, so checking the drain and filter saves repeat shutdowns.

To force a drain on your Frigidaire FFCD2413UB1A dishwasher, press and hold START/CANCEL for about 3 seconds; the unit will run an automatic 90-second drain. This is the correct way to cancel a cycle and pump water out before restarting a new cycle (see the FFCD2413UB1A owner’s manual).

Quick steps to force a drain

• Press and hold START/CANCEL for 3 seconds.
• Close the door fully so the dishwasher can run the drain.
• Wait for the 90-second drain to finish.
• Select your next cycle and press START/CANCEL to begin.
• If you opened the door mid-cycle, press START/CANCEL and shut the door right away to resume operation.

If it still will not drain

A forced drain won’t help if water can’t leave the tub. These checks fix most “won’t drain” complaints:

• Make sure the drain hose is not kinked or crushed under the sink.
• Confirm the drain connection enters above the sink trap (high loop) to prevent backflow.
• If connected to a garbage disposer, make sure the disposer’s knockout plug was removed.
• Clean the filter area and remove debris that can block flow.
• If the pump hums but won’t move water, the drain pump may be failing.

Common causes and what to do

Symptom	Most likely cause	What we do next
Standing water, no pump sound	Control or door not allowing drain	Re-try START/CANCEL; verify door latches
Humming, little or no water movement	Drain pump issue or blockage	Check hose and sump; consider drain pump a A00126401
Drains slowly	Partial clog in hose or sink plumbing	Clear hose/high loop; check sink drain

Why it matters

Cancel-draining protects the pump and motor by clearing water before you restart a cycle, and it helps prevent dirty water from re-entering the tub through an incorrect drain hose routing.

If your Frigidaire FFCD2413UB1A dishwasher has power but will not start, ignores button presses, or runs erratically (stopping mid-cycle or changing cycles), the control board is a top suspect after you rule out Control Lock, a door-latch problem, and a basic power reset.

Quick checks first (fast and free)

• Clear the cycle: press START/CANCEL, then select a new cycle.
• Turn off Control Lock: hold OPTIONS for 3 seconds with the door latched (lock light goes out).
• Reset power: switch the breaker off for 1 minute, then restore power.
• Confirm the door fully latches; an unlatched door prevents operation.
• Listen for normal activity; this model is quiet, but you should hear brief drain, fill, then wash.

Symptoms that point to a bad control board

These are most meaningful when the unit has correct power and the door is latched.

Symptom	What it usually indicates	What to do next
No response to buttons (not locked)	Control not processing inputs	Inspect harness connections at the control and panel
Starts then stops randomly	Control logic or internal power issue	Check for loose connectors, moisture, corrosion
Lights on but no fill, wash, or drain	Control not powering loads	Verify water supply and drain path, then suspect control
Same abnormal behavior after reset	Persistent control failure	Replace the control board after other causes are eliminated

Parts often mistaken for a “bad board”

• No fill: dishwasher water inlet valve 807047901 can clog or fail.
• No drain or “stuck” cycle: use dishwasher not draining video to check for drain restrictions.
• Overfill protection: dishwasher float switch 154773201 can stop filling if stuck.

Why it matters

A control board replacement is a higher-cost repair. Ruling out Control Lock, door latch, and fill or drain problems first prevents unnecessary parts replacement and restores reliable cycles faster.
