Frigidaire Dishwasher FGHD2465NB1A Will not drain or doesn't drain

The Drain Pump Assembly is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. It plays a critical role in the dishwasher's operation by removing the used water at the end of each wash cycle, ensuring the machine is ready for the next load. This assembly includes the pump that powers the expulsion of water, along with any necessary housing and fittings to connect it securely to the dishwasher's system.

Causes of a bad part can vary from clogs formed by food particles or other debris, to mechanical failure of the pump motor itself. 

Symptoms of a bad Drain Pump Assembly include:

• Water not draining properly from the dishwasher
• Unusual noises coming from the pump area
• The dishwasher fails to start a wash cycle due to the system detecting water from a previous cycle still inside.

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The Dishwasher Drain Hose is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. It is crucial for safely channeling waste water from the dishwasher into the drain system, preventing backups and leaks. This flexible hose is designed to withstand the rigors of regular use, including exposure to hot water and detergents, ensuring a reliable path for effluent without risk of damage under normal operating conditions.

Symptoms of a bad Dishwasher Drain Hose include:

• Water pooling around the dishwasher,
• Signs of leakage at the connection points,
• A musty smell indicating standing water in the hose.

Causes of drain hose failure often involve cracks or punctures, which can occur with age or if the hose is improperly installed or subjected to external pressure.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This flapper valve is the dishwasher's one-way drain check. It directs wastewater out and helps prevent backflow into the tub, promoting complete draining and reducing standing water, odors, and water returning after the drain cycle.

• Maintains one-way water flow from the sump/pump to the drain hose
• Helps prevent backflow from the sink or air gap into the dishwasher tub
• Wear, warping, or sticking can lead to slow draining or water left in the tub
• May also present as water backing into the tub after a cycle or intermittent drain faults

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the valve at the drain outlet/pump area; note hose and clamp orientation
• Match the original valve orientation; the flapper should open toward the drain hose (direction of flow)
• After reassembly, run a short fill-and-drain test and inspect for leaks and proper draining
