Frigidaire FFID2426TS0A dishwasher Parts

On the Frigidaire FFID2426TS0A dishwasher, we turn Child Lock (control lock) off by pressing the AIR DRY pad until the lock indicator light goes out. This unlocks the controls so you can change cycles and start the dishwasher normally.

Steps to turn Child Lock off (FFID2426TS0A)

• Open the dishwasher door.
• Locate the AIR DRY pad on the control panel.
• Press and hold AIR DRY for about 3 seconds.
• Watch for the lock indicator light to turn off.
• Close the door and select your cycle and options.

For the exact button layout and indicator-light location on your control panel, use the FFID2426TS0A owner's manual.

If the lock will not turn off

These checks solve most “stuck control lock” situations:

• Make sure the door is open while you press and hold AIR DRY.
• Press and hold the pad for a full 3 seconds (a quick tap usually will not unlock).
• Wipe the control area dry; moisture can interfere with touch pads.
• Restore power by turning the breaker off and back on, then try again.
• If keys still do not respond, inspect for a physically damaged control panel.

What the lock does (and does not do)

Feature	What it prevents	What it does not prevent
Child Lock / control lock	Changing cycle/option selections, starting a new cycle	Stopping a running cycle in every situation, water supply issues

Why it matters

Child Lock is designed to prevent accidental button presses. If it is on, the dishwasher can look “dead” even though it has power, because new selections are blocked until the lock light turns off.

On many Frigidaire dishwashers, an E10 code points to a water-fill problem (the dishwasher is not getting enough water, or it is detecting an abnormal fill condition). On your Frigidaire dishwasher model FFID2426TS0A, start with the float and fill system checks in the FFID2426TS0A owner's manual.

What to check first (fast, common fixes)

• Make sure the water supply shutoff valve under the sink is fully open.
• Confirm the door is fully latched; some models will not fill if the latch is not engaged.
• Pull out the lower rack and check the float; it should move up and down freely.
• Remove any standing water or debris around the float area.
• Run the kitchen faucet until hot, then start the cycle again (helps initial fill temperature and flow).

Parts that commonly cause E10 symptoms

If the basics look good, these parts are the most common causes of fill-related errors:

Symptom you notice	Most likely area	Example part for FFID2426TS0A
No water enters at all	Water inlet valve or supply	Dishwasher water inlet valve 807047901
Overfilling or filling then stopping	Float switch/float system	Dishwasher float switch 154773201
Fills but washes poorly, sounds like weak spray	Pump/motor or spray system	Dishwasher pump and motor assembly 154844301

Safe troubleshooting steps (before replacing parts)

1. Turn off power at the breaker (dishwashers can restart when the door is closed).
2. Turn off the water supply valve under the sink.
3. Inspect the inlet hose for kinks and check the screen at the inlet valve for sediment.
4. Check that the float is not stuck in the “up” position.
5. Restore water and power, then try a normal cycle.

Why it matters

A fill error can stop the cycle early, leave detergent undissolved, and reduce cleaning performance. Fixing the water-fill issue also helps protect the pump and heating system from running under poor wash conditions.

For the Frigidaire FFID2426TS0A dishwasher, the most common customer-reported problems are leaking, not starting, not draining, and poor cleaning. Many of these issues trace back to loading, detergent and rinse aid use, water supply conditions, or a few high-wear parts like the drain pump and spray arm (see the FFID2426TS0A owner's manual).

Most common issues and what to check first

• Leaking onto the floor: check door seal area for debris, confirm the unit is level, and avoid over-sudsing from the wrong detergent.
• Won’t start or won’t run: confirm the door is fully latched and the cycle is not paused.
• Not draining: check for a clogged filter area and a restricted drain path.
• Not cleaning well: confirm spray arms can rotate freely and nothing is blocking them.
• Spots, film, or odor: review detergent amount for your water hardness and keep up with routine cleaning.

Quick part checks (common culprits)

If symptoms point to a component failure, these parts are frequent suspects on dishwashers like the FFID2426TS0A:

Symptom	Common area to inspect	Example part for this model
Water left in tub	Drain system	Drain pump a A00126401
Poor cleaning, food soils left	Wash circulation and spray	Dishwasher spray arm 5304507158
Not drying well	Heating circuit and rinse aid use	Frigidaire dishwasher heating element 154825001
Slow fill or no fill	Water supply into unit	Dishwasher water inlet valve 807047901

Why these problems happen (and why it matters)

Dishwashers are sensitive to water conditions and loading. The FFID2426TS0A is designed to run quietly, so normal sounds like filling, spraying, and draining can be easy to misread as a problem. When cleaning or draining is off, the root cause is often a restriction (filter, hose, spray arm) or incorrect detergent use, which can lead to repeat cycles, odors, and poor results.

Performance basics we use for troubleshooting

These model-relevant checks come straight from typical “before you call” guidance:

• Use fresh automatic dishwasher detergent (old detergent cleans poorly).
• Keep rinse aid filled for better drying and fewer spots.
• Verify home water pressure is typically 20 to 120 psi.
• Verify incoming water temperature is about 120°F (49°C).
• Load to prevent nesting and keep items from blocking spray arms.
