Frigidaire Dishwasher Lines and Features
What Makes Frigidaire Dishwasher Repairs Different
Select models add forced air to heated drying (Sahara Dry or PowerPlus Dry), while Air Dry uses no heat and may leave some items damp. Source: Frigidaire - Dishwasher - Not Drying
Frigidaire uses a manual filter system with a coarse filter in the tub floor and a cylinder fine filter that twists counterclockwise to lift out for rinsing, not a self-cleaning grinder. Source: Frigidaire - Dishwasher Glass Trap and Filter Guide
Common Frigidaire Dishwasher Problems
- Dishwasher smells bad. Frigidaire asks when the unit was last cleaned, recommends a sanitize or vinegar cycle and filter cleaning, and says to confirm water isn't standing in the tub. Source: Frigidaire - Dishwasher Odors

Frigidaire Dishwasher Error Codes
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| LOC | The door is locked. Source: Frigidaire - Dishwasher Error Code Guide |
