Nathanael for Model Number fgid2466qf5a

I have a Frigidaire Gallery fgid2466qf5a The circulation pump doesn’t work. It started causing kitchen lights to surge when it ran then it stopped. I cleaned the pump and it still did not work. I thought it may have been from too little water so I replaced inlet valve then the motor ran through one cycle, it started out rough then ran fine. Next cycle it no longer works. I tested P3-4 blue wire at motor and at mother board while running NO voltage. Is my only option to replace the control panel or could it be the Turbidity sensor P2-4,5,6 R,W,B? Every other feature works except the voltage to the circulation motor. Thanks

1 Answer

Nathanael, the turbidity sensor would not impact the circulation pump as it only senses temperature and soil in the water. As the circulation pump is not receiving any voltage during a cycle, the issue would be with the main control board 5304514670.

Steve, you may want to check to ensure that the control [5304514670] is sending voltage to the circulation motor. This can be done by testing connection P3 pin 4 for 120VAC when the unit is running. If it is sending 120VAC, then you will want to check the wiring harness. If it is not sending 120VAC, then you will want to replace the control.

David for Model Number FPHD2491KF0

Ok no one has been able to figure this out yet but its a problem. Dishwasher has always worked fine. The last couple months almost always the dishes are dirty and soap is not gone. I have found that we low on water. Here is what is happening and what I have done. Turn the machine on - it washes fine with the right amount of water for 2-4 minutes. Then the circ pump will continue to run and water will only dribble out of arms. I can look in the disposal and watch the water dribble into the drain. So I know that water is coming out of the unit somehow. I have a high loop - confirmed by repairman and has always worked I have replaced the water fill valve... brand new .. again working at start of cycle I have replaced with the retro kit the drain hose and it now has the new plastic part on the side with the new hose. I can see in the plastic part the water start to inch up and then dribble into the drain side. I have run it without the hose on the disposal it still will drain. It is not the drain pump as it is not running and you can clearly see the speed of the drain when it is running. Somehow and I do not believe its a siphon as water only runs out during the circulation phase and takes a few min to start. I have unplugged the drain pump and still have the issue. I do not have a drain valve on this that anyone can point out. Why is water leaving the machine leaving me with not enough to clean the dishes?

1 Answer

David, You will want to check your float to make sure that it is not sticking which will cause the water to not fill enough.

Ring, It's very important to include the model number you're working on, especially when referencing parts or wiring diagrams. The 154859201 is pretty common to most Frigidaire dishwashers of the type you have, and will most likely work in your machine. The kit includes a "jumper" harness, to adapt the wiring to the new motor assembly if needed. The blue wire is the power supply to the motor, the white wire(s) are the neutral leg of the circuit, and is usually jumped, or "daisy chained" to other components of the dishwasher, and the green wire is the external ground, which is also jumpered or chained to other components, you would attach it to the new motor in the same location as it was on the original motor. Here's some help : Disconnect the dishwasher from electrical supply. Remove spray arm, spray arm support, and filters from inside of tub Remove outer door panel and kick plate to gain access to the underside of the dishwasher. Disconnect wires from both wash motor and drain pump, then remove the clamp from the delivery tube, this clamp can be accessed going back the right side of the sump. The clamp on the delivery tube has a 1/4 inch head. Carefully push delivery tube off rear port of the sump. Pump and motor assembly is secured in place using four retainers that will turn into sump to release from tub. Push sump into tub, then by rotating to the right will aid in clearing wash pump and drain pump as sump is lifted out. Remove sump from tub Remove volute cover and check ball Turn sump over and remove motor mounting bracket (2 screws). Lift bracket from sump. Return sump to up right position. Place end of a flat blade screwdriver in front of wash impeller and force motor out rear of sump. Reverse the procedure and test the dishwasher for proper operation.

Tommy for Model Number FGBD2431KF1

part # Circulation Pump 154859201. I have changed both O-ring Gaskets labeled "front and rear". when machine starts there is no leak noted. The leak only happens from the " motor housing" through what looks like a intentional drain. There is a metal/rubber combination which is comprised of 2 pieces. As the motor spindle exits there is also what looks like a small O-ring in the same location. is there anyway to order these 3 parts specifically? cant find diagram that shows these parts which would cost maybe 15$ max. do not want to buy whole motor unit while mine is still functioning perfectly. Any ideas or used part retailer I can access? Thank you in advance for your advice.

1 Answer

Hello Tommy. No, you will need to replace the motor kit to replace those parts. They are not available separately.

Rod, The only lights that should be on the dishwasher while running would be the options that you selected.

Hello Yvonne, You should verify sufficient water pressure supplied to the unit at the water inlet line before the valve. The water fill level should be within an inch of the heating element. If this is good, you will need to verify proper water circulation by inspection of the spray arms for separations, other water pressure loses from poor seals at the main conduit and make sure nothing is in the filters or wrapped around the circulation pump impeller.
