Frigidaire Dishwasher Lines and Features
What Makes Frigidaire Dishwasher Repairs Different
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
Frigidaire's i20 drain-fault guidance calls for the drain hose to sit at least 32 inches off the floor. Source: Frigidaire - Dishwasher Error Code Guide
Common Frigidaire Dishwasher Problems
- Dishwasher not draining. Frigidaire says to check the drain hose for kinks and a proper high loop, rinse the glass trap and filter, and confirm the disposal knockout plug was removed. Source: Frigidaire - Dishwashers - Not Draining
- 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
Reading a Frigidaire Dishwasher Error Code
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| Hd or HO | Not a fault: the unit is heating water before the cycle continues, and colder incoming water takes longer. Source: Frigidaire - Dishwasher Error Code Guide |
| i20 | The dishwasher did not drain completely; check the disposal knockout, the drain hose for pinches and height, and the filters and sump. 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 Forest Lake Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Forest Lake 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.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.

In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
