Frigidaire Professional Series dishwasher started to have hot water suddenly fill up dishwasher and the pour out onto my kitchen floor. The dishwasher was not on. I had to press cancel button to get water to stop from flowing from inside. Ran dishwasher and seemed ok, but after a few minutes it filled up again and wouldn't drain unless I pressed cancel, I turned off hot water under sink. What could the problem be?

Make sure that your water is turned on under the sink from the line tapped off of the hot water pipe if it is on pour 3 large pots of water in the bottom and hit start

Two things to consider....clean water or dirty water?

Clean water usually indicates the fill valve is not shutting off all the way and the fill valve is "weeping" water in all the time = new fill valve time!!

Dirty water usually is not a dishwasher problem but more of a plumbing issue. Often the sink drain that carries the sinks water outside is not fast enough and some of this sink water is backing up into the drain hose and filling up the dishwasher through the drain hose. The drain from the sink to outside needs attention as this type of a problem indicates a slow house drain for that sink.

The dishwasher drain line should be clamped to the top underneath part of the counter before entering the sink drain plumbing, this may help the water from coming back inside the dishwasher.

Hello Mileshjr,

I don't disagree... Nice looking unit...

What you have to do is assess the LEAK(s)...
and do a cost/benefit analysis...

If indeed the parts are available (they seem to be)

Then all you have to do is find the cause of the
LEAKS and repair them...

Mine turned to be rusted body panels...
(not much you can do there... Unless you
find a complete DONOR... Not unlike restoring cars...

(the labor of love)...

I will confess the new PRO Series "QUIET" models
are VERY quiet... and sooo... pretty I had to REMODEL
the ENTIRE KITCHEN... (no savings there).

Hope this saves $$$$

Hi,
If you have a problem with your washeror dishwasher continuing to fillwith water after the valve has closed, then you this tip will help youunderstand why that is happening.

Here is a tip that will help you...

Washer orDishwasher Fills with Water when off
heatman101

useing to much dw soap can cause it to fill it then drain it and again and again till its all gone

My service guy told me this was due to the water coming into the dishwasher not being hot enough. He suggested I run the hot water in my kitchen sink prior to running the dishwasher. That seemed to resolve my issue.

Here are a few steps to solve your problem. First of all empty your dishwasher and pour in two cups of vinegar. Run the longest and hottest cycle you have. This will clean your machine.

Always run the hot side of your kitchen sink until the water is as hot as it gets and then start your dishwasher.

Switch over to a tablet as opposed to powder or liquid and just toss the tablet into the machine,

now you should be back up and running.

HO, indicates that the dishwasher is using Hot Water. It is completely normal.

Sounds like a clogged drain line

If it is not filling enough, you may need a new water valve. It may be plugged.
