SOURCE: Washing light flashes on Frigidaire FDB1050REM dishwasher

1) Turn off the breaker to the machine.

2) Wait 30 seconds and then turn it back on.

3) All the lights will be flashing. At this point turn the dial to "rinse only" and then press "Heat dry" and "Start/Cancel" at the same time.

4) The Machine will go into maintenance mode going through all the cycles quickly.

5) After this is finished the problem should be solved.

The steam has gotten into the keypad display and fried it. Call Fridgidaire and let them know you've seen numerous people on the internet with the same problem and that you need part# 154554401 It worked for me.

dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock the
dishwasher controls by pressing and releasing the RINSE
ONLY pad (some models) or the NO HEAT DRY pad (some
models) for 3 seconds while the door is latched. An
indicator light on the lock graphic pad will illuminate when
the controls are locked and no new selections can be made
until the lock is released. To unlock the controls, press the
same pad, RINSE ONLY or NO HEAT DRY, again for 2
seoncds until the indicator light goes out.

Disherwasher will not start

Are you sure it is the Dry light that is lit, or is it the little Lock symbol located ABOVE the Dry button that is lit? If it's the latter, you can turn off that light (turn off the control lock) by pressing and holding the Dry light for 4 or 5 seconds until that light goes off.

My Frigidaire 500, 1100, 1400, 1500 & 2400 Series Dishwasher was purchased a month ago and it will not start either. The 8 second lock under "Heat Dry" is lit, but nothing happens when you press any of the other buttons. Any ideas?

My dishwasher is less than two years old - bought new at Lowe's. The "lock" light at the "Heat dry" button is on, nothing elese works. What's up with the machine?

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

The lock light that comes on indicates that the control is locked and you reset the control to solve this problem. To unlock/reset the control press and hold the NO HEAT DRY/AIR DRY/RINSE ONLY button for 15seconds. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

The lock symbol light is on and the dishwasher won't start

To prevent children from accidently changing the

dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock

the dishwasher controls by pressing and releasing

the DELAY START pad (some models) or the AIR

DRY pad (some models) for 3 seconds. An

indicator light on the lock graphic pad will illuminate

when the controls are locked and no new

selections can be made until the lock is released.

To unlock the controls, press the DELAY START

pad or AIR DRY pad until the indicator light goes
out
