Frigidaire FDB510LCS0 dishwasher Parts

On a Frigidaire dishwasher, an I60 error points to a water-heating problem during the cycle. On model FDB510LCS0, it typically means the dishwasher is not seeing the expected temperature rise, so it stops to protect the unit and prevent poor cleaning and drying.

What usually causes an I60 heating error

These are the most common issues we see when a dishwasher cannot heat water correctly:

• Heating circuit problem (failed heater, loose wiring, or poor connection)
• Water not circulating well (spray arm or pump issue reduces heat transfer)
• Water not filling to the proper level (fill problem can expose the heater or reduce heating performance)
• Temperature control issue (thermostat or related control not responding correctly)
• Safety-related shutoff triggered by abnormal conditions

Quick checks you can do first (safe, no tools)

Before testing parts, we recommend these basic checks:

• Reset power: turn the dishwasher off at the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power.
• Confirm hot water supply: run the kitchen hot water until it is hot, then start the cycle.
• Check for obvious fill issues: listen for filling at the start; a weak fill often leads to heating faults.
• Inspect the lower spray arm: make sure it spins freely and the holes are not clogged.
• Avoid touching internal components: the manual warns not to touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

For model-specific operating and safety guidance, use the FDB510LCS0 owner's manual.

Parts that commonly fix heating-related problems on FDB510LCS0

If the error returns, these model-matched parts are commonly involved in heating and temperature control:

Symptom you notice	Most likely area	Model-matched part examples
Dishes not drying, I60 appears	Heating	Heater 154665201
Water stays lukewarm, cycle stalls	Temperature control	Dishwasher thermostat 154290204
Poor wash plus heating error	Circulation/spray	Dishwasher spray arm 5304517203
Underfilling, weak wash, heating error	Fill system	Valve 154637401

Why it matters

Dishwashers rely on heated water to dissolve detergent, remove grease, and dry effectively. When the unit cannot confirm proper heating, it may stop mid-cycle or finish with poor cleaning results.

On a Frigidaire dishwasher like model FDB510LCS0, a reset is done by stopping the current cycle and restoring power; this clears many temporary control glitches and lets you restart the wash normally. Use the steps in the owner's manual for the exact control sequence for your dial and options.

Quick reset steps (most common)

• Turn the cycle dial to OFF (or to a stop position) and close the door to latch.
• If the dishwasher is running, stop the cycle first, then wait about 1 minute.
• Turn power off at the breaker for 5 minutes.
• Restore power, then select a cycle and close the door to latch to start.
• Run the hot water at the nearest sink until it is hot, then turn it off before starting a cycle (helps prevent fill and wash issues).

If the code comes back, check the most likely causes

Many “error code” symptoms on this style of dishwasher are triggered by a real condition (fill, drain, heat, or leak protection). Check these items before repeating resets:

• Drain path: kinked drain hose, clogged sink/disposer connection, or standing water in the tub.
• Water supply: shutoff valve not fully open, low water pressure, or a slow fill.
• Float/overfill protection: stuck float or a float switch problem (consider float switch 154773201).
• Heating and drying: poor drying or heat-related stops (consider heating element 154665201 and the wiring connections).
• Leaks: water under the unit can trigger safety behavior; inspect door sealing surfaces and consider the gasket 809006501 if the lower door seal is damaged.

What a reset does (and does not do)

Action	What it helps	What it will not fix
Breaker reset (power cycle)	Clears temporary control glitches	Clogs, leaks, failed parts
Restarting the cycle	Confirms whether the issue repeats	Underlying fill or drain restrictions

Why it matters

Resetting gets you back to a known starting point, but if the dishwasher is not filling, draining, or heating correctly, the same fault condition will return. Checking the drain hose routing and basic water supply first prevents repeat shutdowns and incomplete cleaning.

On the Frigidaire FDB510LCS0 dishwasher, you can force a drain by canceling the cycle so the machine goes into its built-in drain-out step. After you cancel, keep the door closed so the drain pump can run and push water out through the drain hose.

Quick steps to force a drain

• Press and hold the Cancel/Start (or Cancel) control for about 3 to 5 seconds.
• Close the door fully and latch it; the dishwasher will drain as part of the cancel routine.
• Listen for the drain pump running and water moving through the drain line.
• If it stops quickly, check for a kinked hose or a clogged sink connection.

If it still will not drain

Most drain problems on this style of dishwasher come from a restricted drain path or an overfill protection issue.

• Check the drain hose routing under the sink; remove sharp bends and kinks.
• Confirm the dishwasher is not resting on the drain hose (pinching it).
• Make sure the drain hose is secured to the sink drain or disposer with a clamp.
• If you have a countertop air gap, remove the cap and clean it so water can flow.
• Lift and clean around the overfill protector (float) so it moves freely.

For the correct drain hose routing and the required high loop height, follow the installation guide.

Drain setup requirements (what to verify)

Item to check	What “good” looks like	What happens if it is wrong
Drain hose high loop	Loop is at least 32 inches above the floor	Slow drain or no drain, backflow risk
Hose condition	No kinks, no sharp bends, not cut	Restricted flow, pump noise
Sink connection	Clamped to disposer/sink drain, not overtightened	Leaks or crushed hose end

Why it matters

Cancel-drain only works when the drain pump can move water freely. A kinked hose, a clogged air gap, or a stuck overfill protector can stop draining and leave dirty water in the tub.

Most standard built-in dishwashers weigh about 50 to 125 lb, with many models landing around 75 to 85 lb; your Frigidaire FDB510LCS0 is typically in that same range. For safe handling during install or removal, follow the lifting and positioning guidance in the installation guide.

What affects dishwasher weight?

Dishwasher weight varies mainly by construction and features. Common factors include:

• Tub material (stainless steel tubs usually weigh more than plastic)
• Sound insulation (extra insulation adds weight)
• Size and configuration (standard 24-inch built-ins vs. compact units)
• Motor and pump design (heavier wash systems can add pounds)
• Door and panel style (some outer panels and hinges are heavier-duty)

Typical weights by dishwasher type

Dishwasher type	Typical weight range	Notes
Built-in (standard 24-inch)	50 to 125 lb	Most common household style
Compact built-in (18-inch)	45 to 80 lb	Lighter, smaller capacity
Portable / countertop	40 to 100 lb	Varies widely by design

Why it matters

Knowing the approximate weight helps us plan a safe install, protect flooring and cabinets, and avoid damaging the water line, drain hose, or electrical junction box area during positioning and leveling.

Safe handling tips for FDB510LCS0

• Disconnect power before moving the dishwasher
• Shut off the hot water supply and disconnect the supply line
• Protect the drain hose from kinks and sharp cabinet edges
• Use two people to move the unit when possible
• Level the dishwasher using the leg levelers per the install instructions
