Questions & Answers

For Frigidaire Main Control Board (Part Number: OEM18981690)

1 Answer

Hello Debbie, You should remove the kickpanel and the power connection box at the top right inside this compartment and check for loose connections. Since the PF indicates a power failure, it has most likely lost electrical connection before the control board and this is the most likely place for this to occur.

Hello Randall, Try running a diagnostic mode. Press the High-Temp and Start-Cancel buttons on the dishwasher and hold them until the test begins. Release them if you see other indicators light up on the top edge door controls. For dishwashers equipped with a digital display, "01" should appear in the display window to indicate the test has begun. Allow the dishwasher to work its way through its self-test of the various components such as the water fill, drain pump, wash motor, heating element and more. While it goes through these tests, you will hear the individual components activate. If there are no other problems with the dishwasher, it should reset itself at the end of its self-diagnosis. If it fails to reset and an error code appears in the small window you need to check the electrical parts with a test meter indicated by the error code.

Frigidaire Dishwasher Error Code = i20, i40, iF0 Check for clogged filters or a restricted drain line has been detected.
