Hi, There are several possiblities of what is happening. Since I am not there in person I will go through the steps I would ordinarily do to determine what was happening. Here is the sequence:
If the dishwasher is set up for the heavy duty, "sani-cycle" type of cycle. Then it may take quite a bit of time to start running. The reason being is that the heater in the water tank is heating up the water to above 140 degrees.
To test this, cancel the existing cycle and start again shutting off all forms of pre heating, etc.and see what then happens.
The other option would be that the timer motor (not the cancel cycle part) has failed. Since the machine appears to be new, I would get it repaired under warranty from Frigidaire if this applies.
Hope this helps,
Best Regards,
Mark

Maytag Epic FH Error

follow this steps .God bless you
F/H No water detected entering machine or Pressure switch trip not detected.

If after 30 seconds the control does not detect water entering machine and then valves will be turned off and the error code will be displayed.
Or
If the control has turned the water valves on and after 8 minutes the flow meter has detected 10.5 gallons of water passing through it, but has not detected the pressure switch trip, the valves will be turned off and the error code will flash.
Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice to clear the display.
  • If there is no water in the unit:
    1. Make sure that both valves at the water source(s) are turned on all the way.
    2. Check for plugged or kinked inlet hoses or plugged screens in the inlet valves
    3. Verify inlet valve operation
  • If there is water in the unit:
    1. Verify Drain pump operation
    2. Pressure Switch Hose is in good condition and properly connected to Tub and Pressure switch
  • Verify there is not a siphon problem
  • Verify wire harness connections to:Inlet Valves, Pressure Switch, Drain Pump, Flow Meter, and Central Control Unit (CCU)
  • Check all hoses for possible leaks

My Kenmore HE2 Plus wont start and it gives code F-21...... the door locks but the washer wont fill up with water.. then it faults out. What can I do?

Hi
F21 error means that the drain time has exceeded 8 minutes; this will turn off the water valves. Press PAUSE/CANCEL two times to clear the display. If errors still remains then please check the drain hose and make sure it is not plugged or kinked. Disassemble the washer by removing the back from the washer and check the electrical connections at the pump and make sure the pump is draining. Also inspect the pump filter for foreign objects. Before disassembling remember to turn off the power and disconnect the washer. If it still doesn't help then there is an issue with the pump and you'll need to replace it. Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.

Frigidaire FDP635RFR3 wont drain.

Theres a drain pump located at the bottom of the unit if you follow the hose from the pump then to the drain if your unit isnt draining you might have to call for service from a technician to have them change your drain pump. If the water is just sitting inside the unit and when u start the unit it should fill with water again.Also if you have a cancel function by pressing this you will make the unit drain if you dont hear anything when u press the cancel button you definetly need a pump
