Ryan February 04, 2013 for Model Number Frigidaire FDB1050REB2 Hello There, My Frigidaire FDB1050REB2 dishwasher runs it's first cycle to finish without problems, however when I empty and reload it for another cycle, the washer wont start and the clean light stays on. If I flip the breaker to the dishwasher it resets and will work for again through the first cycle, but the problem occurs again. I tried opening the dishwasher during the cycle to see if it would restart once closed to determine if it had issues with the door handle, but it resumed it's wash cycle once closed. Can you give me any help on what the issue may be? I fear I need to purchase a new board, but wan't to make sure before I spend the money. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Ryan. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control module 154712101 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Rena December 09, 2012 for Model Number FDB1050REB2 Hi I was wondering if I need a new control board with selector for my dishwasher ? It will not start unless I tap on the control knob and then it will start but then makes a noise and stops again. Any help will be great. Thanks Rena
1 Answer Hello Rena, The first thing that you will want to do is to check to make sure that you do not have any loose or corroded wires. If all connections are good then the control board 154712101 would be at fault. Read More...
Ron September 29, 2012 for Model Number FDB1050REC1 All the cycles on the control knob will start except for the "Normal Wash" cycle. The Normal Wash cycle does not start when the start button is pushed.
1 Answer Hi Ron. It will be advantageous to find the supplied tech sheet inside the cabinet control panel or in the toe kick panel to aid you in the diagnosis. It allows you to put the unit in a diagnostic mode which brings up fault codes and tells you which circuit needs assistance. From the description you will need to replace the control module part # 154712101. Thank You. Read More...
Mrc September 25, 2012 for Model Number FDB1050RES1 My dishwasher's control panel has been acting a bit flaky for awhile. Sometimes I couldn't get it to start, but resetting the breaker always worked. Now, it won't start at all. It sounds like it's trying to start, but then dies out immediately. Various lights flash on and off, and resetting the breaker doesn't work anymore. Should I check anything before trying to replace the control panel? Thanks!
1 Answer Hi. Turn the breaker. Remove the lower toe kick panel. Remove the junction box cover and inspect the wires for correct tight connections. If they are not twisted together tight under the wire nut then it cannot pass the needed current demand. You may see burns on the ends of the wire where arcing has occurred. Then carefully look at the wires under the tub area. I have seen plenty of times where the wires coming out from the door are frayed or shorted against the metal frame creating a short. Look there to see if any varmits have chewed open any wires as well. Make sure all 4-legs touch the floor or the full - heated tub will cock and misaligned the door latch. The incoming feed wires pass through the door switch part # A00099902. If it is cocked to one side then you will have intermittent issues. Open the inner door and see if the door switches work well. They feed the control panel part # 154712101.t will be advantageous to find the supplied tech sheet inside the cabinet to aid you in the diagnosis. It allows you to put the unit in a diagnostic mode which brings up fault codes and tells you which circuit needs assistance. Thank You. Read More...
Nick September 06, 2012 for Model Number fdb1050rec2 Hi I turn on my dish washer, and it goes into washing mode fills with hot water and they will not go into the next cycle. Any idea what is wrong with it. thanks
1 Answer Hello Nick. Test for power to the motor. If there is power there and the motor does not run, replace the motor. If there is no power and the wires are good, replace the control module. 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...
1 Answer Hello Robert. Check and make sure the drain hose is not clogged and if not, you need to test for power coming to the drain pump on the unit. If there is power there, and the hoses are clear and the unit does not drain, replace the drain pump on 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...
Evan August 09, 2012 for Model Number Fdb1051rebo My dishwasher will not turn on. It has done this before but then the next day it worked again. Is there a safety switch or a reset button?
1 Answer Hello Evan, There is an overload built into the circuitry on the motor. This is normally tripped by a poor connection or any other situation which could cause an over current situation. Possibilities include but are not limited to a bad breaker in the breaker box, insufficient wiring, poor connection at the wire nuts for power supply hook-up behind the kick panel, shorted wiring harness or a component that has shorted. This will take some troubleshooting to locate. Read More...
Steve M. July 23, 2012 for Model Number FDB1050REM2 Green clean light will not go off. Reset electrical breaker. unit then works until that cycle again. resent breaker. works again. replaced door handle switch. did not fix.
1 Answer Hello Steve, The clean light blinking 7 times is a fault code for the water heating circuit on board the unit. If the control doesn't see a predetermined increase of temperature in a set amount of time, the code will flash. First off, be sure you always run the hot water at the sink before starting a cycle to shorten the wash cycle. The most probable cause of this fault code is the heating element going open. Other possible causes are the door switch WP8269209, the control board WP8564543, the Hi-limit thermostat WP661566, and the wiring harness. Of course the first thing I would recommend is to visually inspect the heating element Heating element kit- This dishwasher heating element is for stainless steel tubs only. Includes a new computer board that needs to be replaced along with the element. For plastic tubs use W10518394. Part Number: 8194200 . If it has burned in to of course it will need replacement. If there is a white place, or much lighter place present it will need to be tested to ensure your not replacing a good part. 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 . The wiring diagram should be found behind the kick panel and will guide you to the fore-mentioned components which you may need to test. After repair you will also have to place the unit into the diagnostic mode to reset the control so it can run through cycles again. This procedure is as follows: On the control panel....heated dry,normal,heated dry,normal - OR - High temp,air dry,high temp,air dry. These keys must be pressed within 10 seconds to set the control into diagnostics. At this point you can allow it to go all the way through the self-diagnostic cycle or you can press cancel.

Philip June 08, 2012 for Model Number FDB1050RES2 I have tried all cycles ... went to rinse only because it is shortest cycle, the washer fills runs wash pump then tries to drain you can see water moving in clear drain line. So I turned breaker off for 15 mins and then it cycles fine and drains. After that you try to run cycle again it fills then makes a humming noise around wash pump. Is the controller the problem?
1 Answer Hello Philip. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the motor assembly 154859101 may be bad and will need to be replaced. If the motor is just humming and is not running, it does not sound like a control issue, it sounds like a motor issue. Make sure nothing is inside the sum assembly blocking the motor on the unit.

Victor March 06, 2012 for Model Number fdb1050reb2 I broke the knob off my washing machine.The knob is fine but the part it goes on snapped.Is there a way to repair this without replacing the control module?
1 Answer Hello Victor. No, you will need to replace the control module 154712101 on the unit. The shaft is not available separately. Hope this helps. Read More...
