Chris March 10, 2014 for Model Number Fdbr1100rhmo My Frigidaire Electrolux model fdbr1100rhmo is not draining do I just replace the drain pump and if so which pump number is it?
1 Answer Hello Chris, You need to first check for debris in the sump area and in the pump. The drain hose and screens have to be clear, otherwise, even if the pump is operating perfectly, the unit will not drain. Also, nothing can be in the sump that will interfere with the spinning of the pump impeller. If the pump is determined to be the issue, you will need to order part number A00126501. Read More...
Clarence February 01, 2014 for Model Number fdb105rec2 My dishwasher is leaking water all over the bottom of it. I checked the hoses and no problems. What could be wrong?
1 Answer Hello Clarence. You need to replace the lower door seal it sounds like. Check it and see if it is bad and needs to be replaced. Read More...
Jimmy December 26, 2013 for Model Number fdb1100rhmo My Frigidaire dishwasher cycles but sprays very little water. The dishes on the bottom get somewhat clean but those on top rack don't get clean. Do I need a new pump?
1 Answer Hello Jimmy. Check and make sure the water is filling the tub to the proper level. If so, then replace the main wash motor 154844301. If water is low, replace the water valve 154637401. Read More...
Mike December 06, 2013 for Model Number FDB1050REB4 My frid. dishwasher will not drain. The water flows into the unit and sprays both top and bottom but will not drain. I have checked all inflow and out flow hoses. The check ball is stop and will not move and that line goes to the disposal. Is the check ball suppose to move back with ease or by electric current. I have only used the unit, maybe 15 times since installed. Thanks
1 Answer Mike, The purpose of the check ball is to divert water between the wash arms and has nothing to do with the drain. The most likely cause with the drain being clear would be that either the drain pump is not getting voltage to it or a bad drain pump. Read More...

Ernie C. October 16, 2013 for Model Number frigidaire Model pdf285rfc1 dishwaher The quarter size rubber flapper located at the drain pump outlet connector has a tear in it. I can not locate this little part anywhere. Parts dealers say I must replace the entire pump assembly. It doesn't seem to be affecting the dishwashers' operation. What is the purpose of this flapper?
1 Answer Hello Ernie, This valve prevents drain water from re-entering the dishwasher from the drain. The only way this rubber flap is available is by purchasing the complete pump assembly. Read More...
Chris October 12, 2013 for Model Number Fridigidaire gallery gld2250rd dishwasher Hi, My dishwasher will not completely drain at the end of the cycle. The pump is functioning ( already replaced ) and the pump runs for about a minute after the wash is complete, so I would think this should be enough time to empty the tub. I have checked the drain line as well, all is clear. is there another switch besides the main pump float that indicates the water level to control the drain or is it controlled by a timer? Thanks,
1 Answer Hello Chris. no, you need to replace the hose on the unit it sounds like. If the pump works, it is the drain hose on the unit. Read More...
Jeff June 21, 2013 for Model Number 58715149405 Drain pump drains fine, but continues to run after all water is gone and gets very noisy. It will shut off after a minute or two and continue the cycle just fine. Float moves up and down fine. Does the drain pump normally run for a pre-determined time period, or should the float be turning it off when the water is gone? Trying to decide whether the drain pump or the float switch needs replacing. Thanks.
1 Answer Jeff, It is normal for the drain pump to pump for a minute or 2 after the unit has completely drained. Read More...
Tom April 11, 2013 for Model Number fdb1050rem2 I am going to replace the pump on this dishwasher. Is it best to take the DW out or replace it by removing the sump. Thank You , Tom
1 Answer Tom, The easiest way to replace the pump is to pull unit out and turn on its back to access the pump. It will give you easier access. Read More...
Anthony April 03, 2013 for Model Number FDB1100RHCO My dishwasher seems to drain out slowly and in order to completely drain it I have to keep on hitting start/cancel a couple of times. I understand not all the water is suppose to drain out but there still an odor which makes me think that its not draining properly. I've checked where it connects to my garbage disposal and have cleaned that out. I can even watch it drain slowly into the disposal by looking down into the sink. The other important piece that I think could be related is that I have an extension on the drainage hose. It goes into my basement and then comes back up into my sink cabinet and into the disposal. Total length maybe 10 ft max, probably less. This is because the dishwasher was added on afterwards to the kitchen and has a cabinet or two in between the sink. I purchased a new pump thinking the pump maybe wearing out because of the distance to discharge? I also thought of just disconnecting the drainage hose from the disposal and hooking it to a basment drain so that gravity feeds it down. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks for your time and expertise. Anthony
1 Answer Anthony, Normally the drain will carry 10 foot but since it runs down then back up to a trap then back to down it cannot handle this. It is possible that the drain may be clogged also which would cause it to be even slower. The drain should run straight across up to a trap then back to disposal. Read More...
