Frigidaire dishwasher not draining is typically caused by clogged drain hose or failed drain pump. Frigidaire-specific factor: drain pump motor burnout from extended operation against clogged fine filter — motor overheats and fails. Repair costs $100-$250 with free diagnostic and 90-day warranty.
Drain pump motor burnout from extended operation against clogged fine filter — motor overheats and fails
Check valve flap stuck from food debris and grease accumulation — allows drain-back between cycles
Drain hose connected to disposal without knockout plug removed — common installation oversight
Fine mesh filter clog from food particles — Frigidaire filters require monthly cleaning for optimal drainage
Control board drain relay failure — pump does not receive power signal during drain phase
Other Frigidaire models may also be affected. Book a free diagnostic for confirmation.
Seeing one of these codes? It likely indicates not draining.
Sacramento hard water deposits mineral scale on the Frigidaire check valve and fine filter faster than competing brands — the filter mesh is finer than Whirlpool or GE, which catches more particles but also clogs sooner in hard water markets. Monthly filter cleaning prevents most drain issues. Citrus Heights and Folsom homes with untreated water see filter clogging within 4-6 weeks of cleaning.
Remove lower spray arm and fine mesh filter assembly — inspect for food debris, grease, and mineral scale buildup
Check garbage disposal connection: disconnect drain hose, verify knockout plug was removed — common installation defect
Test drain pump motor: access from underneath, measure resistance — should read 20-35 ohms; open circuit means motor failure
Run Frigidaire dishwasher diagnostic: close door, press Hi Temp + Start/Cancel within 3 seconds alternating — unit enters test mode
The technician checks the disposal knockout plug first on newer installations — this is a 5-minute fix that requires no parts. For ongoing drain issues, the filter assembly is cleaned and the check valve inspected. If the drain pump motor has failed, it is accessed from underneath by laying the unit on its back — a 40-minute repair. The technician verifies drain hose routing meets air gap or high loop requirements.
