Asked 6 months ago by Robert.

Q: QuestionWhat exactly does top control mean .. this will be put under counter

Asked 10 months ago by Lynn.

This question was asked about the related product: Frigidaire - 24" Top Control Built-In Plastic Tub Dishwasher with MaxDry 52 dBA - Black

• A:Answer Hi there, Lynn. Good day! Great question! When a dishwasher like the Frigidaire 24" Dishwasher FDPH4316AB is described as “top control,” it refers to the location of the control panel. Here’s what “top control” means: The control buttons and display panel are located on the top edge of the door, not on the front. You can only see the controls when the dishwasher door is open. When the door is closed, the front of the dishwasher has a sleek, clean look with no visible buttons. This model is designed to be installed under the counter, so the top controls will be easily accessible once you pull open the door. - Maico

Q: Questionwhat is the cycle time ?

Asked 11 months ago by Anonymous.

This question was asked about the related product: Frigidaire - 24" Top Control Built-In Plastic Tub Dishwasher with MaxDry, 52 dBA - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer Hi there, valued consumer! The Frigidaire 24" Built-In Dishwasher (model FDPH4316AS) offers a 60-Minute Quick Wash cycle, providing a faster cleaning option for lightly soiled dishes. For standard cleaning, the dishwasher includes multiple wash cycles, such as Heavy, Normal, and Energy Saver. However, specific cycle times for these standard cycles are not readily available in the provided sources.​ It's worth noting that in Consumer Reports' testing, the FDPH4316AS was rated poorly for cycle time when using the full, heavily soiled load with high-temperature options and heated dry enabled. This suggests that while the dishwasher offers efficient cleaning, the cycle times for standard cleaning modes may be longer compared to some other models. - Maico

Q: QuestionCan this be installed when there is a dishwasher their already

Asked 1 year ago by Sharon.

This question was asked about the related product: Frigidaire - 24" Top Control Built-In Plastic Tub Dishwasher with MaxDry, 52 dBA - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer Hello, Sharon. We appreciate your inquiry. Yes. This model can typically be installed as a replacement for an existing dishwasher. Here are some key considerations: 1. Compatibility with Space: Ensure that the dimensions of the current dishwasher space match the dimensions of the Frigidaire FDPH4316AS. The standard size is 24 inches, but it’s a good idea to measure the width, height, and depth of the opening to confirm fit. 2. Plumbing and Electrical Requirements: Verify that the existing water supply line, drain connection, and electrical outlet match the requirements of the new dishwasher. The Frigidaire FDPH4316AS generally requires: A hot water line with a 3/8" connection. A standard 110-120V grounded outlet. A drain connection within reach of the dishwasher’s drain hose. 3. Removal of the Old Dishwasher: Disconnect the old unit by turning off the power and water supply. Detach the electrical wiring, water supply line, and drain hose from the old dishwasher before removing it. 4. Installation of the New Dishwasher: Position the Frigidaire dishwasher in place and reconnect the electrical wiring, water supply, and drain hose. Secure the dishwasher to the cabinet or countertop as per the installation instructions. 5. Professional Assistance: If you’re not experienced with appliance installation, hiring a licensed installer is recommended. They can ensure everything is connected properly and up to code. We hope this information helps! - Christi
