Five Frigidaire dishwasher symptoms. A machine ignoring every button press usually has Control Lock engaged — the easiest cause on this list and the most common. Dishes coming out gritty point at clogged OrbitClean spray-arm nozzles or a blocked fine-mesh filter, then low water temperature. Wet dishes point at depleted rinse aid or a MaxDry fan that is not running on Gallery models. Leaks are model-specific: FFCD2413US gasket degradation, FGID2466QF pump seal failure.
Noise is the guide that pays off fastest here, because when the sound happens names the part: during fill, during wash and during drain each implicate a different component, so a thirty-second observation replaces a teardown. The rest of the hub is ordered the same way — settings before consumables, consumables before filters, filters before parts — which is why several of these symptoms end without a repair at all.
The line sits at the door latch and the pump. A worn latch micro-switch is a low-voltage signal on a board that also switches mains, and the wash and drain motors are under a tub of water. Releasing Control Lock, topping up rinse aid, clearing the fine-mesh filter and running the tap hot are all yours. When the filter is clean and the symptom persists, book the repair rather than replacing parts by elimination.
