Frigidaire Gallery Dishwasher — Problems & Repair

These Gallery dishwashers use the OrbitClean spray arm, DishSense sensing, and EvenDry heated drying. Their faults cluster around drainage, the spray system, and leaks. Here is the ranked field data, the code list, and the parts.

Spec at a glance#

Ranked failures#

1. i20 drain error — 25%. Water will not clear the tub, usually a clogged filter basket or a stalled drain pump. Clearing the filter resolves many before a part is needed.
2. OrbitClean spray-arm center bearing wears — 18%. The arm wobbles or stalls, so coverage and cleaning drop off.
3. i30 leak detection — 12%. A worn tub gasket or a cracked spray-arm feed tube trips the leak sensor.
4. Control-board relay failure — 10%. The dishwasher behaves erratically or a function will not respond.
5. Door-latch microswitch failure — 8%. The cycle will not start until the latch confirms closed.

Error codes#

• Error I20, Error I10, Error I50, Error I60 — drain, fill, and sensor faults
• Error I30 — leak detection
• Error ER, Error ER1, Error IC0 — control faults

Parts that go#

What to check before you book#

For an i20 drain code, pull the filter basket at the base of the tub, rinse it, and clear the sump before assuming the pump has failed — a blocked filter is the single most common cause. Confirm the drain hose has a high loop at the sink so it is not siphoning back. If the OrbitClean arm is not spinning freely, check its center bearing and clear any debris. For an i30 leak code, inspect the tub gasket and the spray-arm feed tube for wear or cracks. Match the symptom to the ranked list and book with the right part in mind.

Fix or replace?#

The drain pump, spray-arm assembly, and gasket are inexpensive next to a new dishwasher, so repair is the clear call while the machine is under about a decade old and the fix stays under half a new unit's price. A control-board relay failure is the one repair to weigh against the machine's age.

Getting the most out of your Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher#

Reliability here is mostly about a clear water path. Clean the filter basket every two weeks and inspect the OrbitClean arm quarterly, since mineral deposits in its micro-holes are what dull the wash over time. Run a cleaner cycle monthly with citric acid, and install a high drain loop at the sink if there is not one, which prevents both siphoning and the i20 drain faults that top the list. Wipe the door gasket monthly to keep mold off the bottom seal. Cared for this way, the Gallery holds strong cleaning across its service life, and its common faults stay affordable part swaps rather than reasons to replace it.
