Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand that you want to know if any water should remain under the glass trap, on your Frigidaire dishwasher, after the cycle has finished. Per the owner's manual, "it is normal to see a small amount of water under the filter at the end of a cycle." Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

SOURCE: Frigidaire dishwasher dirty & sticks in cycle

First, check the holes on the upper spray arm. They should be clear of food and debris.
Next, There's a check valve (ball) built into the motor unit. Either it's stuck, or the motor isn't pausing at the appropriate time to switch from bottom spray to top spray. You can test the check valve by opening the door momentarily while it's running. The spray noise inside should sound distinctly different. Pausing longer will switch back to the lower spray arm.
If the check valve works, you'll need a new timer.

SOURCE: Bosch dishwasher has water in bottom after cycle is complete

Hi

Kindly check for the following :

Check for hose kinks or food plugging drain hose. Start at the drain port exit.
Check the check valve and drain hose for debris.
Check pump motor for reversing during the pump out make sure the dishwasher is pausing between the wash and drain cycles letting the pump/motor reverse for the drain cycle.
Check pump motor assembly for a drain solenoid, during the pump out make sure the solenoid makes that distinctive "clunk" noise
If you have recently installed a new garbage disposal, check knock-out plug at connection.

Check pump impeller for damage.
Check that the water inlet valve isn't seeping fresh water into the dishwasher when off.

Please contact for any further clarifications.

A Fixya Rating would be appreciated if.

Thanks

SOURCE: Water in drain pump for ASKO D5122XXL dishwasher

Yes, Asko dishwashers can leave a small amount of water in the sump after a cycle completes. At the beginning of most cycles the sump is pumped and new water added.

SOURCE: Dishwasher will not finish cycle.

This could be one of a few things,first it sounds like it may be getting stuck on the rinse cycle,check if the water in the machine is hot if not there is either an element problem or the timer is not functioning properly,if the water is hot then it may not be draining before taking on rinse water the best way to determin if it is indeed draining and refilling is to switch the machine off ,take the drain hose and put it on the floor or in a bucket,if it drains let it finnish and then put back and switch the machine on it should fill and continue.if it does not drain then you have a blocked pipe or fualty pump,Do not reset the machine

SOURCE: Water remains in the bottom of the dishwasher

First : if this started after a new disposal was installed then you need to check the Knock out on the disposal located inside the pipe that sticks out of the disposal where you conect your dishwasher drain hose. ((((( Common Problem )))))

Ok, moving on, your dishwasher has a independent drain pump. if you know the noise of the drain pump and you do not here it. its a good chance that its bad and you can disconect it and put a volt metert to the 2 wires and check for 110V. of coures after you have your volt meter in place and ready to go you will then put your diswasher in drain and check your meter.

Here is a breakdown of a dishwasher with a simialr model number. # 60 is the drain pump.

Excessive amount of drain hose on dishwarsher cause a drain problem

Hello Leonard, thank you for your post!
I understand that your Frigidaire dishwasher has two gallons of water left inside of the tub. I would recommend checking the drain hose to assure it is not clogged and installed properly. The glass trap may need to be cleaned out and you can locate that under the bottom rack. If you continue to experience issues with your dishwasher please reply back for further assistance. -Matt

I can't remove the glass trap in my frigidaire dishwasher 4ghd2433kf

Try http://www.frigidaire.com/Owner-Center/Product-Support-Manuals/. They didn't have my exact model number so I looked it up by type and found something with enough model numbers matching that it was actually a good match for the manual as well. What worked for me: "To empty the glass trap: 1. Grasp the glass trap's handle and rotate it 900 clockwise while pressing down on the center of the wash arm. 2. Grab the spray arm in the center and lift the spray arm and glass trap assembly up and out from the dishwasher. 3. Tip the assembly over an appropriate container and tap it to empty the glass trap. OR, separate the glass trap - pull the glass trap handle toward you, then up, then further toward you to slide it away from the rest of the assembly; empty it into an appropriate container; then slide the glass trap back into the assembly. 4. Place the assembly back into position, press down on the arm at the center and rotate the glass trap handle 900 counterclockwise being sure the glass trap ends in the orientation shown in the image above. To avoid damage to your unit make sure the spray arm and glass trap are fully snapped in place."

Frigidaire d. w. grit and white film on glasses

Good Morning Friend,

I see that you are receiving grit and a white film on your glasses, in your Frigidaire dishwasher, model# FDB1050REC. Here are some common solutions that you can begin with.

-Check your water hardness. Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may also get spots and film for a number of reasons. To remove buildup, spots and film, clean using the following instructions:
1. Load clean dishes and glasses in a normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or silverware.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Close and latch door. Press START/CANCEL pad.
4. Allow your dishwasher to run until it starts the second water fill (approximately 10 minutes).
5. Unlatch and open the door, and pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.
6. Close and latch the door and allow the cycle to finish.
For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener.

-Your water temperature may be low. Avoid extremely low or high temperatures.

-Avoid overloading and improper loading.

-Make sure you are using fresh detergent. Old detergent is ineffective.

-Make sure your rinse aid dispenser is filled.

-Check to see that the proper amount of detergent is being used for cycle selected.

-Your home water pressure may be too low-it should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).

If none of these suggestions helps, I would suggest contacting either the manufacturer or a local authorized technician. Hope this helps.

-Best Regards-

Residual particles on dishes and glasses

Hi. Check to be sure you don't have water in the bottom of your machine after the cycle completes. If you do, then you have a partial blockage in your drain pump or your drain line or the trap under the sink. If there is no water, do this. Put two cups of white vinegar into the machine when it is empty and then run your hottest and longest cycle. This will clean the interior of the machine.

That said, please always rinse your dishes before using the machine and always run the hot tap water into the sink until it is nice and hot before starting up your machine. These steps will greatly improve the sanitation of your dishwasher. J.

Glasses not clean and shiny

Dishwashers have a part usually called a separator or accumulator which traps the dirt from the water during the wash cycles while the water is continuously recycled to clean the dishes. At the end of the cycle the separator is flushed out and the trapped dirt goes down the drain. If it doesn't get flushed out the dirt builds up till it starts showing up on the dishes. Some separators have a hole on top and one on bottom with a valve which stops up one hole or the other depending which cycle it's running. The valve can be stuck or broken causing the problem.

There is water in the bottom of the dishwasher

Hello. Most likely you have a partial blockage in your dishwasher drain line between the floor of the machine where the drain pump may have debris in it and the trap under the kitchen sink. If you are handy you can remove the lower front panel of the machine, locate the small pump at the end of the drain hose, remove the pump to physically examine it and remove any glass or other debris in there and then check the rest of the drain line right to the trap under the sink.

Be sure to begin by turning off the breaker to the dishwasher to eliminate any shock hazard. J.

Standing water in the bottom of the dishwasher

I had the same problem - a 10 minute fix. The issue tends to be that the trap gets clogged by debris (like broken glass etc.) and restricts the amount of water that can be evacuated by the tub.

1. Undo the trap cover (two hex headed screws)
2. Remove the trap cover
3. Remove the inner trap grate
4. BE CAREFUL NOW ! Gently remove debris - this can have broken glass in it !!! - You can use a wet vac if you have one. Ensure all debrs is removed and the trap is clear.
5. Clean trap cover and grate
6. Re-install cover and grate
7. Bingo !

Frigidaire Dishwasher

A common problem with dishwashers is the non-draining machine. If you are having trouble, check to see if the drainpipe and sink trap are clogged. If you still have drainage problems after doing this, check your drain hose to make sure there are no kinks or bends. if the hose looks worn out you can replace the hose pretty inexpensivley. if your have thoughly checked from dishwasher to trap under the sink where your dishwasher should drain to and it seems clear you may have to call in the repair man.
