What a Frigidaire Dishwasher Technician Deals With
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

What Frigidaire Says to Check First

- 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
