✨ FRIGIDAIRE DISHWASHER WON’T DRAIN-EASY FIX ✨

[@TheArborFarm]

Thank you for creating this video. It was just what we needed to repair our dishwasher today. Thankful we didn’t have to call service!

[@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel]

Excellent, Thanks for the feedback 😊

[@robbygaume600]

Your video helped me solve my problem. It was a piece of plastic blocking the impeller from spinning. You put $500 back in my pocket, and I really appreciate it .

[@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel]

Hey Robby, You’re welcome 👍

[@SleepyFox894]

This video is still a huge help 6 years later! We were able to repair our dishwasher in no time at all - turns out we also had a piece of glass causing a blockage. Everything drained perfectly as soon as it was removed. Thank you so much!

[@dannycarlton1223]

I'm going to add something to your troubleshooting process. My Frigidare was sporadic on draining. Sometimes it would drain it all, sometimes the whole bottom would have an inch, sometimes, just the center would have water. Sometimes the water was clean, sometimes still cloudy. So, I figured the drain pump was going bad. Ordered one from Amazon at 1/3 cost of OEM and replaced it. Worked great right out of the box. Next day, once again, water standing in the bottom. Kept researching and found someone suggesting to make sure the hose was clear where it entered the P-Trap. Took that hose loose, poked around with a screw driver, nothing there. Put it back together, sometimes worked, sometimes didn't. Today, took off P-trap and found debris in here. In fact, found a metal elbow fitting, like would be on the input side of the dishwasher. This had to have been there for 30 years! Removed it but wasn't satisfied that that was the issue. I am sure this was causing some issues with slow draining but couldn't be the whole problem. My dishwasher draining issue had really become a problem in the past 2 weeks. Went back to the drain connection at the dishwasher, removed the hose and this little black rubber piece fell out, all deformed. Started looking into this and discovered it is a back flow prevention flapper. Cost about $10 on Amazon. It's purpose is to what? Block water that is in the discharge hose from entering back into the dishwasher! I've got one on order, should be here in a couple of days, but I'm betting this makes my problem totally go away.

I have a moen garbage disp and a Frigidaire d/w (not my choice I loathe Frigidaire.) all the online manuals say turn off the power first but idk where the power is, some say under the sink but others say newer built homes I have to turn off via circuit breaker.

Great Tutorial Scott! Unfortunately, this didn't solve my problem. I installed my dishwasher about a year ago and it stopped draining last week. I followed your tutorial exactly and didn't find any obstructions, but when I put it back together, it still is unable to drain. I pulled the entire unit out of the cabinet and took the drain hose off to see if there were any obstructions, but I couldn't find any. Do you have any suggestions? I'm looking into purchasing a drain pump ($109) from Tribles, but my fear is that the Circulation pump ($225) is the real culprit. At that point, I should just purchase a new dishwasher. Any advice?

[@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel]

I wonder if the air gap up near the faucet is clogged?

Hey Scott, we have almost the same model dishwasher in this rental house. We hardly use the dishwasher, maybe twice a year for holidays. We're getting ready to move so I was going to run a few loads before packing stuff up. I opened it and found it hadn't drained all the way since Christmas dinner. It was pretty foul. Bailed it out like you showed and disassembled it and was surprised by how much water (and scum) was still down under the filters. Gave it a bleach bath and pressed on. Didn't find any obstructions other than build up. Bleached and washed with hot water all the parts in the sink, reassembling as I finished each part. The first filter piece you take off was the last to put on. I thought it was 1 piece. The hot water dissolved the crud and it came apart. And out popped a damn shard of glass. Slapped it back together and it works fine now (and doesn't stink). Thank you so much for such a well detailed, concise video!

It took 3 weeks to finally get it cleared, it just kept slogging up and down, hiding in different parts of the pipe...anyhow it was running ALOT of very hot water, plus TONS of dawn dishsoap through the drain after I augered that finally fixed it.. Then, today, I found standing ick water in dishwasher and I'm like OOOOHHHHHH NOOOOOOO the clog has returned...but it didn't...it was a tissue lodged in the spinny white thing..Thank u sooooo much.

I took everything apart, but I found two pieces of glass in the filter that you remove right before you get to the part with the t-15 screws. I removed the cover and sucked out the water with the shop vac, so unless the shop back sucked up the glass piece, I didn't find any additional pieces of glass down near the impeller. It spins freely too. So I reassembled everything and it's running on a short wash and I am crossing my fingers it's fixed, but I didn't find anything around the impeller. I'm hoping it's not a bad impeller motor or something... Although that would be just my luck.
