Jean G February 26, 2015 for Model Number GLD4355RFS0 Dishwasher starts itself - I have cleaned ribbon cable once, but that only fixed for a few days. Question is - is it the panel or the board that needs to be replaced?
1 Answer Jean, If there are no keys that are flashing on the dishwasher then the control board would most likely be the cause for the unit to come on by itself. Read More...
Sandra January 11, 2015 My Frigidaire dishwasher has been running great for 3 years now. All of a sudden yesterday, it started misbehaving. When I open the door to unload or load the dishwasher, the Power Failure (PF) light comes on and flashes. I then press the start/cancel button and it turns off, until the next time the door opens. This has happened probably 4-6 times over the past day or so. Any ideas as to what is going on and how to fix it?
1 Answer Hello Sandra. You need to look for a loose or bad connection on the wiring harness of the dishwasher. Also, check the door switches in the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Jeff December 12, 2014 for Model Number FGHD2433KF1 I'm not getting any lighting at all on the control panel (LED or otherwise). How do I identify if I have a control board problem or a control panel problem?
1 Answer Jeff, With the display not working and the keypad not working, this issue would most likely be caused by a faulty control board. The display and keypad are on different circuits of the control board. Read More...
Myrcee December 12, 2014 for Model Number FDB4315LFCO The dishwasher started acting funny by stopping in the middle of a cycle, it then died and the all the lights started flashing, Er, washing, clean they are all on at the same time, does this sound like the control panel?
1 Answer Hello Myrcee. Check the door switches and all the wiring connections and make sure they are good. If so, then it leaves the control panel 154639208 on the unit. Read More...
Ed B November 02, 2014 for Model Number FGHD2433KF1 Blinking light, Delay Washing Drying- ER Clean s. Dishwasher won't run. How can I fix?
1 Answer Ed, The ER clean S is an error code that is caused by a keypad that is faulty. You will want to replace the control panel 154791806 on the unit and if this does not correct then replace the control board 5304514670. Read More...
Roy R. October 21, 2014 for Model Number fghd2465nf1a Our dishwasher doesn't drain at the end of the wash cycle. It drains fine during the cycle. After the unit stops it doesn't say clean, I open the door and see some water left in dishwasher. I close the door and the pump kicks on and totally drains it in no time. The dishes are clean. I have cleaned the screens and the drain line is clear. Sometimes at the end of the cycle the water has drained but still never says clean like it used to. It is about a year old any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Roy, This is normally caused by a weak drain pump A00126401 or a gradual clogging of the drain line with grease and small debris. The turbity sensor 154762601 should be cleaned and/or replaced. Read More...
Aj October 03, 2014 for Model Number FDB4315LFCO Hi, with this dishwasher, the unit had shut itself off during the drain cycle and came back with a PF code, so I replaced the drain pump. It now sometimes makes it through a drain cycle, but not every time. I had seen a uF (vent fan speed) error code, but I ran the unit pulled out from under the counter and I could see the fan was operating seemingly fine. There was also one time after a successful cycle that simply opening the door led to the unit shutting down and coming back up with a PF code. That all leads me to believe it's the control board, but I'd like some feedback that it is the next best thing to try. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello A.J., The first thing I always do on a PF code is to turn power off to the unit and remove the kickpanel. Open the power connection box on the left behind where the kickpanel was mounted. Check for loose connections in this junction box. You need to think of it like this: When there is a loose connection, this increases the resistance at that point. This cause more current to be required to get across the loose connection. When the high current gets across the point of high resistance, this current normally opens the breaker or the thermal fuse, (if the unit is so equipped). After all connections in the circuit have been verified, (to include connections to the breaker and any junction points between it and the unit), and no problems have been located, replace the board. If the board is replaced without checking the above, the new board could be toasted as soon as power is applied. Read More...
Aj October 01, 2014 for Model Number FDB4315LFCO Hi, I've seen a few different failure types and am hoping to narrow in on the right solution without having to guess too much. The initial problem seemed to be the dishwasher would just shut off during a cycle. When running the service test, it happened to be during Step 7. The drain pump sounded a little rough, I replaced it, and it made it to Step 8 but then failed with the uF code (Fan failure). I pulled the unit out, and re-ran test, and it made it all the way through. The fan was operational, and the vent was clean. I opened the door and I got an immediate PF code. I then pushed it back under the counter and the service test failed again in Step 7, no error code, just a power failure, with the PF coming on about 5 seconds later. Could the problem be with the fan? Control Board? Something else? Supply voltage was about 116.5 Volts. Nothing else looks obviously corroded or worn. Unit is about 7 years old. Thanks!
1 Answer AJ, With getting an error code in 2 different settings the most likely cause for the failure would be a faulty control board 5304514670. Read More...
Jeff P September 23, 2014 for Model Number Frigidaire dishwasher Model #FGHD2465NF1A 2 years old Dishwasher had not been used in 3 days. It was trying to run itself in the rinse cycle. The Er light is flashing, the drying, washing and Surge light is flashing and a S is flashing. I have disconnected and re-connected the power, is has not helped. Do you know what is wrong with the dishwasher and what is a good price to repair it? It is my understanding the Control Board may be bad. Part #154886103. This part cost $120.39. Thank you, Jeff
1 Answer Jeff, The error code ER represents that there has been a membrane switch failure. You will want to do the following to determine if it is the control board or the touch pad. Main Control Board has detected a stuck key or a key pressed for more than one minute. Check connection from keypad to Main Control Board. If correct, replace keypad. If error still exist, replace Main Control Board. (Note: washing, drying, and clean s may appear in display when error code is present), Read More...
Scott R August 26, 2014 for Model Number SDB1050REB5 After comp wash cycle green clean it stays on and nothing works. After shutting off power and turning back on all 3 lights wash dry clean start to flash, pushing start button stops its flashing pushing start button again and washer works.
1 Answer Scott, With the clean light staying on after the wash cycle, this is due to door not being open. Once the door is open the light should go off. If it does not then the issue would be in the control board as opposed to the door switches since it will wash. Read More...
