How Frigidaire Dishwashers Are Built

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

What Frigidaire Says to Check First

• Dishwasher not drying. Frigidaire notes that plastics and concave items often stay wet, then says to check the cycle used, the rinse aid level and the water heater temperature. Source: Frigidaire - Dishwasher - Not Drying
