Frigidaire Dishwasher Lines and Features
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
What Frigidaire Says to Check First
- 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 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

What Corpus Christi Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Corpus Christi 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.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, §1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
