I see that your Frigidaire dishwasher is displaying an error code of "UL" and you would like to know what it means. A "UL" error code means that your dishwasher is in relay test mode. You should be able to clear out the error code by pressing cancel and holding down the hi-temp button. If that does not clear out your error code I would suggest performing a reset on your dishwasher and you can do that by flipping the household circuit breaker off for at least ten minutes. Hopefully this information is helpful. -Matt

Good Afternoon Friend, I understand that the upper arm is not spinning in your Frigidaire dishwasher, model# FDB635RF. First, check to make sure that your water pressure is between 30 and 120 PSI. If the water pressure is not good in the area your dishwasher is located, try not to use any other water in your home while using your dishwasher. Secondly, make sure that there are no tall dishes that could possibly be blocking the upper arm from spinning. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your dishwasher status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful. -Best regards- WP

Good Morning Paula, I see that you are having trouble with your Frigidaire dishwasher, model # FDB635RF, not starting after you close the door. Might I suggest trying to give the appliance a hard reset. You will do this by shutting the power off at the circuit for at least 2-3 minutes. When the power is restored, if you are still having trouble with the dishwasher starting up, I would suggest contacting either the manufacturer, or your local authorized technician for further assistance. -Best Regards- WP

Con you check to see if the insulation over the top and sides of the dishwasher was touching the floor and wicked up enough water to get wet? That would reduce the sound dampening characteristics. It is also possible that the hose being shaken off was caused by an issued with something jamming the pump; check the drain grates to see if there is anything you can pull out.

Hello niki4god - I recommend resetting the dishwasher by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. It is important to wait approximately ten minutes and then turn on the unit. An experienced service technician may need to further evaluate this issue if it was not resolved with the power reset. In this case, your unit may possibly be experiencing a communication problem with the control board or a potential wiring failure.

That happened to me also. The button dance did not work for me. I turned the switch on the fuse box off and waited for two minutes. When I turned the switch to fuse box on again my son two light were blinking and I told him to press the start button on the washer and it worked.

see the w. diagram, test for switch door2) if the switch is defective, the starting relais will be over and over.God bless you

1) The heating elements +thermostat is the device for heating water. You must test this device in order to provide good clean dish. God bless you

Those models commonly get food stuck in the spray arms. I would suggest you disassemble one or both and check for clogs there.
If you've checked all the screens and traps (and spray arms) in the dishwasher, have you checked the water flow in the hose to the sink and at the air gap (the small metal cylinder that sits on many sinks)? A dishwasher is typically connected to the air gap, then a short tube goes down and connects to the garbage disposal (if one is installed). The hose running from the dishwasher to the sink can become clogged as well. An easy way to check it is to tap the hose or pick it up close to the dishwasher. If it sounds full or is heavy, you've probably got a clog in the hose. If you do, be careful when you go to clear it, because the hose is full of water.

Possible that the program controller is faulty. You must remove all the connections to the controller then reset , If this wont work the controller must be changed.

Hi White film deposits are observed if water is hard or when you are using more detergent than needed, try filling detergent cup half way. Try using white vinegar after the wash cycle is complete, run a complete cycle. Also turn down the heat on the hot water fed to the dishwasher. Try using water softener for better results.You can also add vinegar in the final rinse cycle. Hope this helps... Please post back if more information is required. Daniel
