About 3 days ago I loaded up my dishwasher and closed it tightly (you could hear the lock "click") and pushed start and nothing happened. No light came on no sound made just dead as dead can be. The weather outside was way below freezing and I had minimal standing water in my drain when I checked it when it didn't start. Could it be frozen? Does it have a restart button? If it does then where is it? I checked the breaker to the electrical outlet and flipped it on and off, nothing is working. Please advise. Thank you! Jennifer

Follow up to my Jun 02, 2008 post. We had a service tech come out
today, and it turned out that the door switch was bad. The
neutral side had continuity with the door shut, but the hot side was
sporadic. A new switch has been ordered.
According to the Frigidaire tech sheet attached to the door, which is
located beneath the control panel and behind the door skin, the problem
could potentially be a bad control panel also.
Hope this helps someone in the future!

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.

Possible solution. I had the same problem of "washing" light flashing last year and now today. Warranty has been expired for awhile, so no harm in trying. What worked for my situation was removing the six screws for the back of the plastic control cover. Take of the plastic cover. There are are two connectors to the HANDLE with white and black wires. To be safe I would shut off the ciruit to the dishwasher. Safety first. Carefully disconnect and inspect the contacts inside the connectors. Do not insert any metal objects if you left the power on. I believe that the moisture from the dishwasher can degrade the connectivity. I cleaned the contacts with q-tips and re-installed. Be careful to not bend the contacts. If you had sound, you could hear my dishwasher running. Total cost is about three cents. I believe that the connectors do not full close when corroded, which prevents the completion of the circuit to the controlls. The flashing light indicates that the door is open, when in fact it is closed. Hopefully this will help someone. Semper Fi

Press and hold the heat dry button and it will turn off, so dishwasher is usable again.
