Frigidaire Dishwasher Repair

Most likely — water is sitting in the bottom at the end of the cycle. Drain pump, a blocked filter in the tub floor, or a kinked hose behind the cabinet. If your kitchen has an air gap fitting on the counter, check that too — it blocks with debris and stops the machine draining, and clearing it is free.

Next most likely — it will not start when you press the button. Door latch switch, the control board, or power at the outlet. The latch is checked first because it is both the most likely and the cheapest, and on many Frigidaire units the latch and switch are one assembly.

Dishes come out gritty or with a white film. Spray arms blocked, the wash pump losing pressure, or hard-water scale on the element. Toronto water is hard enough that scale is a genuine factor here rather than a sales line.

The cycle runs far longer than it used to. Usually a heating fault — the machine extends the cycle waiting for water that never reaches temperature. That is the appliance compensating, but the element or sensor behind it still needs replacing.

There is water on the floor. Door seal, a hose connection or the pump housing. On a built-in unit a slow leak soaks cabinetry and subfloor for weeks before anything shows, which is why this one is worth booking rather than watching.

Least likely — it fills but the motor only hums. A seized wash pump, usually with something hard in the sump. Clearing it is frequently the entire repair.
