Frigidaire Dishwasher Lines and Features
How Frigidaire Dishwashers Are Built
The drain hose needs a high loop with no kinks, and on disposal hookups the knockout plug must be removed. Source: Frigidaire - Dishwashers - Not Draining
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
