Dan February 27, 2012 for Model Number pld2850rdc0 Pump won't quit even though all the water is pumped out. It only stops when the door is opened, but starts immediatly after the door is closed.
1 Answer Hello Dan. Check and make sure the float is not stuck in the up position in the unit. If not, and there is power to the pump, replace the control board 154663005. Hope this helps. Read More...
Jack January 07, 2012 for Model Number fdb4315fc2 my washer willnot drain removed motor motor will run on bench could it be a switch dish waher is only 3 years old hardly used thanks jack
1 Answer Jack, Did you also check and make sure there were no clogs in the drain hose or disposal. Did you check the filters and strainers in the bottom of the tub for debris or deposits. Can you hear the drain pump motor run, if you start, then cancel the cycle. Also, check and make sure the vanes on the impeller inside the drain pump, is not damaged or loose on the motor shaft. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Sidney L. October 10, 2011 for Model Number gld2440resi My dishwasher is five years young because it isnt used much but it is so loud I cant continue to use it. It works fine... Could it be the pump assy that needs replacing?
1 Answer Hello Sidney. If the noise is during the drain cycle, then yes it could be the pump, but if it is during the washer cycle, you may need to replace the motor 154859101. Hope this helps. Read More...

Shorty August 25, 2011 for Model Number FDB2000RFS1 my wife ran the dishwasher last night & when it was time to drain, water was leaking all over the floor & some she said went out the drain hose. Is my drain pump bad or the gasket. Thanks / shorty
1 Answer Shorty, You'll need to check the filter and glass screens for debris and damage or clogs, and then disconnect the drain hose from the disposal or drain pipe and check to make sure theres no clogs or kinks in it. From there you would need to access and remove the drain pump 154580301 and check the impeller for damage and the motor circuit resistance or run the motor on a separate line cord. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Tan August 17, 2011 for Model Number fdb1100rhb2 Help...my dishwasher won't drain. The cycle runs, but at the end there is water sitting in the bottom of the tub. Pressing cancel will not drain it either. My plumber said it sounds like it is "trying to" drain, but it's not happening. NOTE: I had a power surge that blew the electrical pannel, the electrician replaced the pannel, and this is what I am left with. I am hoping it is the drain pump/motor or something (anything but buying another brand new one sounds good)
1 Answer Hello Tan. Make sure all the hoses are clear from clogs. If so, test and see if there is power coming to the drain pump. If there is power there and the pump does not run, you will need to replace the drain pump assembly 154580301. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Butch July 08, 2011 My frigidaire dishwasher quit draining during operation. At the end of a complete cycle the tub is full of water. Unless I cup an amount of water out of the tub the control panel will not allow me to restart the dishwasher, is there a safety device?. Does it sound as if the drain pump assembly needs to be replaced?
1 Answer Hi Butch. Pull your drain hose off the end of your sink or aerator connection. Put it into a bucket and then see if it will drain. If not , can you hear the pump motor activating and trying to pump. Your hose may be clogged at the end where it connects to the drain. Or inside the drain pipe there could be a restriction to verify and if so clear out. If you need a drain pump, this part # is 154580301. Thank you. Read More...
Jeremy May 29, 2011 for Model Number FDB1500LFCO My dishwasher seems to be leaving glasses, plasticware, and dishes with some film and dry looking soapy spots on them. It has also ran some cycles where one of the pumps sounds really loud. I'm going to replace the drain pump because I took it apart and can't get it to seal and think it's the noisy motor. The circulation motor seems fine as I felt and listened to it while it was running. Any thoughts on what's causing the bad washing?
1 Answer Hello Jeremy. The first step would be to clean the dishwasher with a cleaner such as Glisten W10549845. After you have cleaned the dishwasher, the next thing to check would be the microfilter below the lower spray arm. After removing the arm, you should have access to the filter. If you are still getting a bad wash, it could be the circulation pump not building the proper pressure to clean the dishes. I hope this info helps! Read More...
Jeff April 13, 2011 for Model Number electrolux/frigidair dishwasher pld2850rdc3 The other day my frigidair dishwasher stopped working. In my best imitation of a man I took it apart to see what was wrong and to fix it. In the end I couldn't find the problem and had to call someone in. It took them a few minutes to find a frayed wire that I missed. In the process of exerting my maleness I took apart the drain pump assembly(AP4019644). It seems that I cannot get the gasket to seal anymore. Is there a trick to getting it to seal, or should I just buy a new one?
1 Answer Hello Jeff. Check and make sure the gasket is positioned correctly. If so, you will need to replace the pump. Hope this helps. Read More...
Stacey April 06, 2011 for Model Number GLD2440RES1 We just replaced the heating element on our dishwasher. We ran a cycle and the new element works great. At the end of the wash cycle, the dishwasher started making a loud crackling noise. It seems to be coming from the pump. My husband took the pump off, no clogs. He took the pump apart and found 2 ball bearings in the pump. He is wondering if there should be 4? Could having the dishwasher laying on its side while reparing the element do the damage? Or is it a coincidence both parts went out about the same time?
1 Answer Hello Stacy. If the pump is making the noise, you will need to replace it. It shouldn't have damaged it by laying the dishwasher on it's side. We do not have the number of ball bearings for the pump. Hope this helps. Read More...
