Frigidaire FDSH4501AS2A dishwasher Parts

For your Frigidaire FDSH4501AS2A dishwasher, a “hard reset” is typically a power cycle: turn the dishwasher off at the breaker (or unplug it) for about 5 minutes, then restore power and restart a cycle. This clears most control glitches but does not fix mechanical problems.

Recommended reset methods (in order)

• Cancel and restart the cycle: Press START/CANCEL, then close the door to let it respond and drain if needed.
• Power cycle reset: Turn OFF the circuit breaker for about 5 minutes, then turn it back ON.
• Restart after a door interruption: If the door was opened mid-cycle, press START/CANCEL and close the door immediately to resume.
• Confirm the dishwasher is remembering the last cycle: This model is designed to remember the last cycle selection, so you may only need to press START/CANCEL to run it again.

What you should see after a reset

When the door is opened during a running cycle, the dishwasher stops and the display can prompt you to press Start; pressing START/CANCEL and closing the door resumes from the interruption point.

Situation	Best “reset” action	What it accomplishes
Control panel frozen or unresponsive	Power cycle at breaker	Clears many electronic glitches
Cycle won’t resume after opening door	Press START/CANCEL, close door	Restarts from interruption point
You want to stop a cycle	Press START/CANCEL	Cancels the cycle and may drain

Why it matters

A reset helps when the user interface or control logic gets “stuck,” but if the dishwasher still will not start, fill, drain, or clean after resetting, the issue is usually with a component (for example a latch, drain pump, or inlet valve) rather than the settings.

Parts to consider if problems continue

• Door not latching consistently: crosley dishwasher door latch assembly 111315040
• Not draining: crosley dishwasher drain pump A00044328
• Not filling: dishwasher water inlet valve 807445905

For model-specific button sequences, display messages, and operating behavior, follow the FDSH4501AS2A owner's manual.

If your Frigidaire dishwasher (including the Frigidaire FDSH4501AS2A) won’t drain, we start by confirming the cycle is fully complete (not paused), then checking for a kinked/clogged drain path and a blocked disposer connection. Most drain problems are caused by a restriction, not a failed control.

Step-by-step checks that fix most no-drain issues

• Cancel the cycle and let the unit attempt a drain; then verify the cycle is not in a pause state.
• Check the sink/disposer: if connected to a food waste disposer, make sure it’s empty.
• If the dishwasher drain hose connects to a disposer, confirm the disposer inlet knockout plug was removed.
• Inspect the drain hose for kinks, crushing, or a high loop that has slipped down.
• Clean the bottom filter area so water can flow freely to the sump.
• If you have a countertop drain air gap, remove the cap and check for debris (the air gap is separate from the dishwasher).

Parts that commonly cause a no-drain condition

If the drain path is clear but the dishwasher still won’t evacuate water, these parts are common suspects on this style of Frigidaire dishwasher:

Symptom	Most likely cause	What we check first
Hums but won’t drain	Drain pump jammed or failed	Debris in pump area, then pump replacement
Drains slowly	Partial clog or restricted hose	Hose routing, air gap, disposer inlet
Intermittent draining	Water level sensing issue	Pressure switch and hose condition

Helpful model-matched parts to consider:

• Crosley dishwasher drain pump A00044328
• Crosley dishwasher water-level pressure switch A00055408

Why it matters

Water left in the bottom of the tub after a completed cycle is not normal; it can lead to odors, poor cleaning, and standing water that re-deposits soil on dishes.

Where to find the model-specific procedure

For the exact cancel/drain steps, cleaning points, and installation-related drain routing details for FDSH4501AS2A, use the FDSH4501AS2A owner’s manual and the FDSH4501AS2A installation guide.

On the Frigidaire FDSH4501AS2A dishwasher, the most common issue we see is a drain problem: water stays in the tub because the filters, sump area, or drain hose gets restricted. Door-latch related “won’t start” symptoms are also common and are often cleared by fully latching the door.

Quick checks for the most common issue (won’t drain)

• Cancel the cycle and reset power at the breaker for 5 minutes, then try a drain.
• Clean both filters and check the sump area for debris (labels, glass, food).
• Inspect the drain hose for kinks, pinches, or a high loop that collapsed.
• If connected to a garbage disposer, confirm the disposer inlet knockout plug was removed.
• If the dishwasher still will not drain, the drain pump can be the failed component.

What the display codes usually point to

These codes help narrow the “most common problem” quickly.

What you see	What it usually means	What to do first
i20, i40, iF0	Restricted drain or clogged filters	Clean filters and sump; check drain hose and disposer connection
CLOSE	Door not fully latched	Close firmly; check latch alignment
i10	Low fill	Check water supply valve is open; look for a pinched supply line
i30	Leak/overflow in bottom pan	Check leveling and inlet connections

Parts that commonly fix these symptoms

If cleaning and hose checks do not restore normal operation, these parts are frequent repair paths for this model family.

• Crosley dishwasher drain pump A00044328 (won’t drain, humming during drain)
• Crosley dishwasher door latch assembly 111315040 (won’t start, “CLOSE” won’t clear)
• Dishwasher water inlet valve 807445905 (won’t fill, i10)

Why it matters

Drain restrictions can trigger error codes, leave dirty water in the tub, and cause odor buildup. Catching a clogged filter or pinched hose early prevents repeat cycle failures and reduces strain on the drain pump.

For model-specific operating steps, error-code behavior, and cleaning guidance, use the FDSH4501AS2A owner’s manual.
