What a Frigidaire Dishwasher Technician Deals With
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
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
What Frigidaire Says to Check First
- Dishwasher not cleaning. Frigidaire points first to the cycle chosen, since Rinse, Quick Wash and 30 Minute cycles won't handle heavy soil, then loading, detergent amount and a clogged filter, glass trap or spray arms. Source: Frigidaire - Dishwasher - Not Cleaning
- Dishwasher not starting. Frigidaire says to make sure Delay Start or Child Lock isn't set, the door is fully closed, Start was pressed, and the water and breaker are on. Source: Frigidaire - What Should I Do If My Dishwasher Is Not Starting?
What Frigidaire Dishwasher Codes Mean

| LOC | The door is locked. Source: Frigidaire - Dishwasher Error Code Guide |
| CL or Cd | The door is not fully closed and latched; closing it firmly should clear the code. Source: Frigidaire - Dishwasher Error Code Guide |

What Waterloo Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Waterloo come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
Iowa does not issue a general appliance repair technician license; the Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board licenses plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration and hydronic work, and state law carves out a special restricted license only for utility employees who repair appliances.

In Iowa, you can check a license with the Iowa DIAL Find a Record or License (Plumbing & Mechanical Systems Board public search) or report a problem to the Iowa Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
