Frigidaire FDB700BFC2 dishwasher Parts

Your Frigidaire dishwasher model number is printed on the appliance ID label inside the door area. On the Frigidaire FDB700BFC2, check the inner door frame or tub opening (door jamb) first; you may need to slide out the lower rack for a clear view. For installation-related label locations and access, use the installation guide.

Where to look (most common spots)

• Along the left or right inner door frame (door jamb)
• On the tub lip around the door opening
• On the tub wall just inside the door
• Behind the kickplate area (less common for the model label, but common for components)

How to find it quickly

• Open the door fully and scan the perimeter of the opening
• Pull the lower rack out to improve visibility
• Use a flashlight and look for an alphanumeric code (letters and numbers)
• Wipe the label gently with a damp cloth if it is dusty or spotted

What the model number looks like

Model numbers are typically a short block of letters and numbers. For this dishwasher, the model number format matches FDB700BFC2.

What you might see	What it means	What to do with it
Model number	Identifies the exact dishwasher version	Use it to match parts and diagrams
Serial number	Identifies your specific unit	Helpful for service history and age
Product code/type	Internal manufacturing identifier	Record it if present, but prioritize model number

Why it matters

Using the exact model number helps us match the correct Frigidaire dishwasher parts (like a spray arm, door gasket, or water inlet valve) and avoid ordering a similar-looking part that will not fit.

Most Frigidaire built-in dishwashers, including model FDB700BFC2, are designed for a standard 24-inch-wide cabinet opening; typical overall size is about 24 inches wide by 34 to 35 inches high by about 24 inches deep. For installation-critical measurements and connection locations, use the installation guide.

Standard built-in dishwasher dimensions (what to expect)

For a 24-inch built-in dishwasher like the Frigidaire FDB700BFC2, these are the common planning dimensions:

• Width: about 24 inches (fits a standard 24-inch opening)
• Height: typically 34 to 35 inches (adjustable leveling legs)
• Depth: typically 24 inches to the door (more with the door open)
• Electrical: 120V, 60 Hz on a dedicated 15 to 20 amp circuit

Model-specific installation measurements we use for planning

The FDB700BFC2 installation instructions call out a 34-inch cabinet opening height as the baseline, with leveling-leg adjustments for slightly taller openings.

Cabinet opening height	Leveler adjustment guidance
34" (86.4 cm)	0 turns
34 1/8" (86.7 cm)	2 turns
34 5/16" (87.2 cm)	6 turns
34 1/2" (87.6 cm)	9 turns

Why it matters

Dishwasher “dimensions” affect more than fit; they also determine whether the unit can be leveled correctly under the countertop and whether the drain hose, hot water line, and electrical supply can route cleanly without kinks or interference.

Quick measuring checklist before you buy or install

• Measure the opening width at the front and back (look for about 24 inches).
• Measure countertop underside to floor (target 34 to 34 1/2 inches for easiest leveling).
• Confirm you have hot water supply and adequate water pressure for filling.
• Plan routing so drain, water, and electrical lines do not cross in front of the motor/frame.
• Verify the dishwasher is on a grounded 120V circuit (15 to 20 amp).

The most common problem we see with Frigidaire dishwashers like model FDB700BFC2 is poor cleaning (dishes come out gritty or still dirty). The usual causes are restricted water flow from clogged spray arms, a dirty sump area, or loading that blocks spray patterns.

Quick checks that fix most “not cleaning” complaints

• Make sure nothing is blocking the lower spray arm from spinning.
• Clear debris from the bottom of the tub (around the sump area).
• Run hot water at the sink until it is hot, then start the cycle (helps fill temperature).
• Use the right amount of detergent; too much can leave residue, too little can under-clean.
• Load so tall items do not “shadow” the spray (especially on the lower rack).

If the lower spray arm is cracked, warped, or its jets are plugged beyond cleaning, replacement is a common, high-impact fix: dishwasher spray arm 5304517203.

Other common Frigidaire dishwasher problems (and what they point to)

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to check first
Leaks at the door	Door seal or splash protection issue	Inspect the lower door seal area for gaps or damage
Won’t fill well	Water supply restriction or inlet valve screen clogged	Verify hot water supply and look for kinks in the water line
Won’t drain	Drain path restriction or drain pump issue	Check for kinks and make sure the drain hose routing is correct

For leaks, the lower door seal is a frequent wear item on many dishwashers: gasket 809006501.

Installation issues that create “performance” problems

Even when the dishwasher itself is fine, installation details can cause symptoms that look like a failure. In the installation instructions for this model, we call out that kinked water or drain hoses can cause problems, and the drain hose loop needs to be routed high (at least 32 inches from the floor) to support proper drainage. See the installation guide.

Why it matters

Poor cleaning is usually a water movement problem. When spray arms cannot spin freely or water flow is restricted, the dishwasher cannot deliver enough pressure to wash and rinse, so food soil stays on dishes and detergent can leave residue.
