Hello Caron, thank you for your inquiry!

Based off the information you have provided you took apart the bottom panel of your Frigidaire dishwasher and need help reassembling it. I have attached a parts schematic of your dishwasher to help assist you further. Best of luck! -Matt ftp://ftp.electrolux-na.com/ProdInfo_PDF/Kinston/5995552584.pdf ftp://ftp.electrolux-na.com/ProdInfo_PDF/Kinston/5995552584.pdf

Hello friend, thank you for your post!

I understand that your Frigidaire refrigerator is flashing an error code of H1. This code can stand for a high temperature within your refrigerator. I would recommend performing a reset and you can do that by disconnecting power from it for at least ten minutes. If that does not correct your issue you may need to reach out to your manufacturer for any warranty coverage. Hopefully this information is helpful. -Matt

make sure when you load it that nothing is stopping the soap door from opening all the way,, most common mistake is loading a cutting board or tray in the front of the lower rack

Dishwashers do not drain the water has to be pumped out of them.If the water is not being pumped out on any cycle then the pump has failed and you either need to replace the water pump (which will be quite expensive) or buy a new dish washer. Pump failure is a pretty common in part because of the amount of debris many users don't rinse from items before placing them in the washer. Also the filters at the base of the washer need to be removed and cleaned frequently and this is often neglected. If the water is only remaining in the washer for the final rinse cycle but is otherwise being pumped out on the wash cycles, then the issue will be with the electronic control board.

Hello Vernon, thank you for your post!

From my understanding your Frigidaire dishwasher will not start after the cycle has been selected. This could be a potential issue with your keypad or control panel and I would recommend performing a reset. You can reset your dishwasher by flipping the household circuit breaker off for at least ten minutes. If the reset does not help correct your issue you may need to have an electrical component replaced. I would suggest having a professional technician out to perform a proper diagnosis and this can help you avoid any unnecessary part purchases. I hope this information is helpful to you. -Matt

Hey Carol, I understand that you are receiving an "PF" error message on your Frigidaire Dishwasher. Typically this error code indicates a power failure. Before considering contacting a service provider, I would recommend resetting the dishwasher by turning off the power to the appliance for about five minutes. After the five minutes return power to the appliance, this should allow the appliance to return to working condition. At this time if you find the problem still persists, you may want to consider contacting a professional technician. The concern could be the control board. Hope this helps! -JK

dishwashers that don't clean dishes , 1st is the water filter/pump inlet strainer clean ? 2nd are you adding the correct type of soap in the dispenser an not just in the bottom before you turn it on ? 3rd are all the spray arms free to move and the holes are not blocked off ? if all these are correct then id look at pump impeller its inside the pump in the bottom , the blades may have worn down over time

Just fill the dispenser with some rinse aid and it will go off. Open the door and on the inside of the door next to where you put the tablet you'll see the rinse aid dispenser

Need a model number but the answer may be found in the trouble shooting section of you users manual which again is model number specific.

This is a long shot but on some dishwashers and washing machines if the drain pump is faulty the machine will not power on. Not saying it's the case with yours but easy to check and nothing to lose

Good Afternoon Tie, thank you for your inquiry!

From what you have described your Frigidaire dishwasher continues beeping a sound every few minutes even when the power has been shut off. It sounds like this could be a possible issue with your control panel or keypad. I would recommend performing a reset on your dishwasher and you can do that by flipping the household circuit breaker off for at least ten minutes. I hope this information is helpful for you. -Matt

Hey Fred, I understand that you are having some problems with your Frigidaire Dishwasher not changing cycles. Before contacting a service provider, I would recommend resetting the dishwasher by turning off the power to the appliance for about five minutes. After the five minutes return power to the appliance, this should allow the appliance to return to working condition. At this time if you find the problem still persists, you may want to consider contacting a professional technician. The concern could be the control board. Hope this helps! -JK

Good Morning friend, thank you for your post! I see that you are having an issue with your rinse aid dispenser not adding rinse aid into your Frigidaire dishwasher. You may need to run hot water into your dispenser to help clear out any dirt or clogs within your dispenser. If that does not help I would recommend making sure the water temperature inside your dishwasher is at 120 degrees. If the water is not at the correct temperature it will not allow proper dispensing of the rinse aid. You may also want to check the filter at the bottom of your dishwasher to assure that it has been cleaned out and is not distributing dirt or debris inside of your dishwasher. I would also recommend checking the spray arms to make sure they are not dirty and spray water evenly. You can clean them out using a pipe cleaner. I hope this information is helpful to you. -Matt

Did you check to see if your outlet has power? And u never indicated a model number. Go to attached site and see if you can get the electrical schematic for unit - that will answer the question. Search Over 2 1 Million Appliance Parts

Most likely, the drain pump is clogged or the filter for the main pump is clogged with goo. If, during the drain cycle, water is just "peeing" into the drain line or sink drain, something is clogged. Broken glass, food, bones, etc., can find a way into the main pump mech or into the drain pump. You didn't specify what model washer you have but check the round removable filter found in a lot of Frigidaire dishwashers. Yours could be square, rectangular, etc. Get the users manual if you need help finding out how to clean the filter! Remember, if water can't move freely through the filter, your washer won't spray strongly either. Also, dishwashers will not drain out every drop of water--they will drain past where you can see the water but there will always be a small puddle of water in the motor. This keeps the seals moist and prevents dry-rotting, cracking and leaking.

Did either of those parts come with the wire harness that connects the unit control to the main board? If not I would get a meter and check each wire on the cable and when you find an open wire then you replace the cable.

Hello Eric, thank you for your post!

I understand that the dispenser on your Frigidaire dishwasher opens but the soap is not dispensing into your dishwasher. How old is your dishwasher soap? If it is around a year old you may need to discard it and use a new soap. Also check to make sure when you stack dishes that they are not obstructing the arms from reaching the dispenser. Make sure your spray arms are clear of any debris that could block the distribution of water inside of your dishwasher. You may need to connect with a professional technician for proper repairs if these steps do not correct your issues. I hope this information is helpful to you. -Matt

Hello N, thanks for your post! I understand that your Frigidaire dishwasher does not have consistent water pressure through your spray arm. If the arm is clean it could be an issue with your water pressure or possible spray arm. You may need to verify your water pressure to assure it is between 20-120 PSI. If your water pressure is correct you may need to seek assistance from a professional technician to help avoid any unnecessary part purchases. I hope this information is helpful to you. -Matt
