Kin V. March 16, 2014 for Model Number frigidaire pump p/n 154736201 My dishwasher won't drain. How can I tell if I have a bad pump? I removed the pump. The impeller seems to operate correctly.
1 Answer Hello Kin, If you can put 120Vac on the pump and it runs, you will either have a clog in the drain or a screen or you have a bad control that is not sending voltage to the drain pump. We could assist further in the diagnosis with the model number from the units' I.D. tag. Read More...
Dharrison January 25, 2014 for Model Number FPHD2481KF1 I'm replacing the drain pump with the part I ordered from you A00126401. Where does the orange colored flap get installed? Thanks, D
1 Answer Hello DHarrison. That is installed into the sump assembly to prevent back washing into the sump assembly. Read More...
Mike January 14, 2014 for Model Number fdb1100rhc2 The dishwasher is not draining. I purchased a new control board and the drain line is clear--no disposal. I hooked up power direct to the drain pump and can hear the motor running but still no pumping. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Mike. Based on the information you provided, the drain pump A00126401 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Richard November 07, 2013 for Model Number FFBD2405KB0A The water in the bottom of the dishwasher never drains. Not at all. I have checked the drain tube from both ends. Under the dishwasher when I loosen the clamp water comes out. When I loosen the clamp on the end under the sink I can blow into it and bubbles come up in the bottom of the dishwasher where the water is. The ball under the volute cover is there and not stuck. The float can move up and down freely. I am not sure what is causing this problem. I order part number 154783201, a control from you guys, thinking this would solve the problem but it did not. Please let me know A.S.A.P. what I can do to fix this.
1 Answer Hello Richard. If the pump A00126401 has power, but does not run, you will need to replace the pump assembly on the unit. Read More...
Marlar August 25, 2013 for Model Number FFBD2407LMO8 Went to unload dishwasher after cleaning cycle was completed, noticed that soap tablet did not dissolve. Restarted unit pump would run constantly then shut off this cycle continued for about 30 minutes. Noticed water leaking form under fascia plate .The water was leaking(steady stream) from a small pin hole in a metal bracket that secures pump. Disconnected water feed, drain tube and power supply .,Pulled out washer looks like the pump is connected to a round plate that mounts to bottom. The Bummer is this unit has been leaking for awhile flooring is warped(laminate)dishwasher probably has not been used no more than 30 times the unit is in a vacation home that was built around 2 years ago. Contemplating repairing if leak source can verified or just purchase another dishwasher other than a Frigidaire product . Thanks again for your help.
1 Answer Marlar, It sounds like the issue may just be a bad seal around the drain pump and you would want to replace the seals. This is common in vacation homes where the unit sits and is not run regularly, the seal will dry out and then cause the leaking issue. Read More...
Roland August 22, 2013 for Model Number frigidaire part # 154736201 Can you explain how to change this pump? And is it easy?
1 Answer Hello Roland. It is best to uninstall the unit and lay it n it's back. Then there is a locking tab you release and the drain pump motor will twist to remove from the sump. Make sure you unplug the wires from the pump. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Myron. It is not to hard to replace the pump motor. Just uninstall the dishwasher. Pull the unit out and flip it over on it's back. Then you can access and replace the pump on the unit. Make sure you check for leaks after installing the pump and dishwasher. Read More...
Steve E June 12, 2013 for Model Number FGHD2433KB1 My dishwasher is not pumping water out. It is making an unusual noise and no water is pumped out. I'm guessing that it is most likley the pump but could it be the motor, or another part?
1 Answer Steve, You will want to check to make sure that the impeller on the dishwasher is not damaged and make sure that there is nothing clogged in the pump or the drain line. If these check ok then you would need to check to make sure that there is power getting to the pump and if not then check wiring to the control board and if wiring is ok then replace the control board. If there is power to the pump then replace the pump. Read More...
Lisa April 10, 2013 for Model Number kenmore 58715238900A Gray water backs up in bottom of dishwasher after it runs. The washer is not hooked up to the disposer, it drains into its own stand pipe. Yes it is hooked up properly with air gaps and all. We have had a plumber over and he says it's the washer, and we have had the sears appliance guy over and he can't find anything wrong. I'm at my last end, don't know what to do. Can you help?
1 Answer Hello Lisa. Here is the issue, first the water should not be backing up to drain back into the unit, so that is plumbing. Also, there should be a loop in the top of the drain hose of the dishwasher to make an air gap. And last, but most important, the flapper 807048001 in the sump is bad and this is allowing the grey water to come back into the unit. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Paul. You need to check and see if something is stuck inside the impeller assembly on the unit. If so, it will cause the unit to be very loud. Read More...
