Frigidaire Dishwasher: Problems with a Frigidaire Dishwasher

Tue, 21 May 2024 09:22:56 -0700

Hello all.

I have a Frigidaire Model# FDB1500LFB0 and my problem is that…

after loading and selecting my cycle and hitting Start, my washer fills with water to the (I presume) proper amount of water in the bottom. The water is very hot. Then the system stops, and the only thing that will happen after opening it after this (anywhere from 3-15 minutes, I did this several times.) is that when the door is shut back and cancel pressed it will drain as normal. It was left to “run” once and the soap drawer opened, dumping the “pod” directly below it. The dishes had never had water on them and the “pod” was mushy from the ambient humidity, and in a spot directly under the drawer. If left on it will cycle through a fill/drain cycle but the spray-arms never move. I have cut the breaker to it on and off with no change.

Any help will be appreciated, thank you.

Whirlpool Dishwasher: Control panel on and off

Mon, 07 Mar 2022 17:59:22 -0700

Hi!

I have a Whirlpool ADG 8532/1 IX W(?) dishwasher.

The lights on the display are on if I push the door out.

But if I close the door it shuts down, so I guess there could something with the display?

Any suggestions?:D

Kenmore Elite Dishwasher: Kenmore Elite Power Chord Melted

Mon, 18 Mar 2024 10:39:49 -0700

My Kenmore Elite dishwasher just stopped working and I went looking around and found that the power cord had begun to melt and was all black and scary looking. I’m looking to replace this if anyone has any experience or insight it would be greatly appreciated. Dishwasher is already installed and not by myself so I don’t know where to begin and if this requires the unit to be removed or not.

I believe Model is #66512773K311

Dishwasher: Bad smell on dishes

Fri, 17 Sep 2021 08:49:40 -0700

I have two dishwashers. After 17 years, I started getting a fishy bad smell on some of my dishes. I replaced both dishwashers. Smell in both continued. Replaced all hoses and garbage disposal. Smell continued. Had drain line power washed all the way from kitchen to street. Still smells. Replaced air gap (using a single air gap designed for two dishwashers). Never run dishwashers at same time and run garbage disposal before running dishwasher. Any suggestions?

Dishwasher: found no power to the motor at all.

Thu, 29 Jul 2021 14:08:38 -0700

I had the same model and same issue. I disassembled the pump / motor assembly and found the motor to be broken, so I ordered a replacement motor and tested it OK before putting it on. The problem persisted with the replacement. I entered Drain model (the display showed DRAIN 001, 002, 003 ‘minutes’) but found no power to the motor at all.

Tried reset by pressing three buttons next to START button and received error codes. F9 E1.

Any idea?

Dishwasher: WDT970SAHZ0 Whirpool diswasher will fill and drain but it won't start

Mon, 23 Mar 2020 02:58:31 -0700

Hello there, I am getting F4- E3 fault code on my whirpool dishwasher ( WDT970SAHZ0 . It seems like dw gets fill with water and then it drains This code calls for problem in drainage. I have checked inside of the dw for blockage and cleaned filter and the water sensor. Under the dw I check for glass or anything blocking the drain pump and hose. I unplugged the dw to reset it to see if that clears it out. It actually made it work once and then I tried again and the problem comes back. Would I have a faulty water sensor or something alse? Thanks!

I replaced the heating element on my whirlpool dishwasher but it still won’t dry the dishes. The water gets hot enough to fog my glasses but will not dry the dishes. How can I fix this?

Dishwasher: Whirlpool Dishwasher starts after keeping the door pressed manually.

Wed, 12 Jun 2019 10:15:35 -0700

Hi, I have an Ikea whirlpool dishwasher. It had a free fall door because hinge string was broken which I replaced. Now, it starts when I keep the door pressed manually. It runs for sometime even if I stop pressing the door but stops after sometime. If I presss the door again then it starts again but stops after sometime if I stop pressing the door. I already open the door and checked all the wires and everything is connected. I also cleaned the area for clogging and anything stopping the close the door properly. Could it be door latch or something else need to be replaced?

Thanks

Dishwasher: Is there any way to fix or replace bent/broken dishwasher door hinges?

Sat, 07 Jul 2018 07:19:32 -0700

I have a Maytag dishwasher. Today my son decided to be a chef. Needless to say when mama says 1 drop of water and shut the dishwasher... well a skillet with really hot oil, and a handful of water later...

Hot oil splashing, my sons quick retreat ended up with him sitting on the open door of my dishwasher.

Now I'm sure Ive got half of y'all thinking "that's what you get for leaving your kid in the kitchen..."

Well my "kid" is 19yrs old, and 205lbs. and fiercely independent, aka "leave me alone, Im not a kid..." In our situation not only can we not afford a new dishwasher, we cant afford for Dad to find out. Any ideas, suggestions, help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sincerely, hand washing Mama. =)
