20 Most Recent Frigidaire 24 in. FDBB944C Built-in Dishwasher Questions & Answers

I have one of these modles and yesterday after it finished I noticed a lilttle green light on below the main options, a little lock that is telling me to "hold to unlock" not sure what that means, so tried this morning to "hold" nothing happened as need to run the machine, and right now there is no response. HELP!!!!!!!

When you start that model, it is supposed to run the drain pump for 90 seconds...i'd suspect, since it's noisey on startup and not draining, that you probably have something stuck in your drain pump (food debris), or possibly the pump is faulty. Remove the pump from under the dishwasher, and check for debris.

unplug it and check the junction box its probably shorted there

Could be a chicken bone or a toothpick or anything really. Hard to say without digging in there. Be nice to have a manual would it not?

Hi,

Follow the below guide :-

Power from the house

Is there power getting to the dishwasher? This can be difficult to test, because dishwashers are usually wired directly to an electrical circuit, rather than plugged into the wall. But at least check for a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker.

Door switch

The door switch is important because, if it's defective, the dishwasher won't work at all. To reach it, you need to remove the control panel cover, or sometimes the interior liner of the door. If it's defective, you need to completely replace it.

Wiring

Often the main wiring connection from the house, at the dishwasher, burns and breaks the connection. If that's the problem, the wires must be repaired/replaced as necessary. If that's not the problem, check the wiring to the door switch, the wiring between the door and the lower part of the dishwasher, and the wiring to the timer. Repair any broken, burned, brittle, or defective wiring, using the proper appliance-grade wire and connectors.

Timer or selector switch Although it's uncommon, the timer or the selector switch may be defective. If so, you need to replace the defective part, because neither of these can be repaired.

If problem persists, it sounds to be Faulty Control Board. You need to check the Board and the Wiring.


Let me know, if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

You must have your dishwasher connected directly to the garbage disposal and not through an air gap. What is happening is when you disposal fills with water it is siphoning through the drain hose back to the dishwasher. If you sink has a spare hole on the deck install air gap and run dishwasher drain through air gap first. Otherwise make sure you run Garbage disposal often so that water does not get slowed and build up inside. I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/josh_87ce33216d7b2148

the lower door seals may be damaged or contaminated with old food debris. also check the "n" seal around the door are clean.

It depends on the kind of spots.
Hard water spots are just the result of minerals that were left behind when the water evaporated.
Food spots can be the result of food that was allowed to dry before putting the dishes in the dishwasher.
In general, a water softener can be quite helpful in reducing hard water spots, and can also help the dishwasher perform better.
Note too that recent changes in the formulation of dishwashing products has been a problem for people who do not have water softeners. Government mandates have recently restricted addition of phosphates in dishwashing products in many states. Phosphates were quite beneficial to the dishwashing process.
A water softener may be your best answer.

Based on the symptoms you described, it's likely that there is an issue with the heating element or thermostat in your Frigidaire dishwasher. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check the heating element: The heating element is responsible for heating the water during the wash cycle and drying the dishes at the end of the cycle. If the element is faulty, the dishwasher may stop mid-cycle and display the flashing lights you described. Use a multimeter to test the continuity of the heating element. If there is no continuity, the heating element needs to be replaced.
2. Check the thermostat: The thermostat is a safety device that prevents the dishwasher from overheating. If the thermostat is faulty, it may shut off the heating element prematurely, causing the dishwasher to stop mid-cycle. Test the thermostat using a multimeter. If it's not functioning properly, it needs to be replaced.
3. Check the control board: If the heating element and thermostat are functioning properly, there may be an issue with the dishwasher's control board. A faulty control board can cause various issues, including the flashing lights you described. If this is the case, you may need to replace the control board.

If you're not comfortable performing these troubleshooting steps yourself, it's best to contact a qualified technician to diagnose and repair the issue.

They should not wobble a lot. They have to be able to spin, but should not have a lot of lateral movement. See if you can remove the spray arm and clean out all the spray jets. If some are blocked at one side it causes the arm to not spin true and flat. It spin with one side high and one side low. The other problem may be incorrect loading of dishes. https://www.frigidaireapplianceparts.com/Shop-For-Parts/a9b2d2144302/Model-FGID2466QF2A-Frigidaire-Dishwasher-Parts ..

Hello Megan Quintas, I have had the bottoms of the Frigidaire DISHWASHER rotted out AND their center-shaft NEVER LOST IT'S vertical alignment... So my personal opinion... You are good once you replace your defective spray arm.. Put your model+make+spray+arm or better yet the ORIGINAL PART NUMBER to get three estimates...

Cannot be answered with the information provided. Need the serial number from the manufacturer's plate, which will probably tell you the year of manufacture. Here is a link to Frigidaire: https://www.frigidaire.com/Owner-Center/Product-Support--Manuals/?productCode=FFBD2406NB

Error Code: ER

The Problem: There is a membrane switch failure, meaning one of the keys is throwing the wrong signal. This error can also be caused by a stuck key or a key pressed for longer than one minute. The Fix: Check the keys on the control panel and the wiring between the keypad and main control board. If you cannot identify and fix the issue, replace the keypad. If the error persists, replacing the main control board should fix the issue.

Sounds just like my Whirlpool dishwasher. If you have the documentation that came with it look through it for a "reset" method to re-calibrate the dirt sensor in the unit. If you don't have the owners manual try to "Google" an owners manual or a "technicians" manual to find a reset or a re-calibrate procedure. Mine consisted of pressing certain control buttons at the same time, after which the unit ran through a calibration cycle that took about as long as a normal wash, and it has worked great ever since.
