Frigidaire Dishwasher Problems
- According to Frigidaire.com, prices for dishwashers can range anywhere from $250 to $800. When a homeowner makes an outlay of this much cash, she can reasonably expect her appliance to work. So when there is a problem of any sort, it's natural to be upset and unwilling to pay for repairs. The good news is that most operational problems are easy to fix yourself.
- Reading the owner's manual first will help most people avoid many common headaches in the first place. All too often, some small thing a new owner has done or not done is the source of the problem.
- According to DIYnot.com, the dishwasher needs to be on a firm, level surface and free of grease, polish or debris. If the floor is not level, then make adjustments to the adjustable feet on the front of the dishwasher until it sits level.
- If the program you selected isn't starting like it should, check a few things before calling out an expensive technician: Are your fuses good? Are the circuit breakers flipped on? Did the door close properly? Listen for the "click."
- The minimum height for a drain hose to be installed is 1 foot, up to a maximum of 3 feet. Anything over 3 feet and the pump may not be able to push the water enough. Anything under 1 foot and there may not be enough vacuum to pull the water out.
- Sometimes, even when you do everything correctly, problems still occur. These could be due to manufacturing, assembly and even delivery errors. Make sure your warranty information is filled out and registered with the company as soon as possible. Having paperwork squared away can save you a good amount of money in repairs. Unfortunately, nothing can save owners from the aggravation of malfunctioning equipment.
