Frigidaire dishwasher repair in Kansas City
Frigidaire dishwashers keep the wash motor and the drain pump as separate assemblies in the sump and report faults as an i-code on the display. Plenty of Kansas City rental kitchens have this machine, and the sump filter is the part nobody knows about.
What goes wrong with Frigidaire dishwashers
- i20 with standing water
- The drain code comes up and an inch of water sits in the tub. Usually the drain pump impeller is wrapped in a label or blocked by glass, or the disposer knockout plug was left in at install.
- i30 leak detection stopping the cycle
- A float in the base pan trips as soon as water collects under the tub, and the machine stops rather than flooding. The work is tracing where it came from - often the sump gasket or a loose spray arm feed.
- Detergent cup still full at the end
- The dispenser latch is released by a small wax motor or bimetal that loses travel as it ages. Dishes come out dirty with a full cup of detergent sitting there. The dispenser assembly comes off the inner door panel.
- Door falling instead of lowering
- Cables run from the door hinge over pulleys at the bottom corners of the tub to the springs. When one jumps its pulley the door drops hard. Both cables and springs get replaced rather than rehooking the loose one.
Before you call
Pull the cylinder filter out of the sump floor and rinse it monthly. It comes out by hand on these, and a clogged one is behind a lot of poor cleaning complaints.
