How Frigidaire Dishwashers Are Built
A countertop drain air gap, where installed, has its own removable filter and is a plumbing part, not part of the dishwasher. 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

Local Notes for Malden
Most dishwasher calls in Malden 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.
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
