Know Your Frigidaire Dishwasher
How Frigidaire Dishwashers Are Built
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
- 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
