Wake Up Frigidaire!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Took my time and installed as instructed. Very difficult to close latch and started required strong pushing on top of door edge to initiate cycle then would stop. As it was much quieter than my old dishwasher I didnt notice until I opened it thinking cycle was complete. After I surmised I couldnt repostion spring/hinge assemblies on door or dishwasher body, I fully opened door and pushing down on left side and liftingup on right side of door a tympany of the exterior door steel was produced. Closing the door was much easier as latch engage with far less effort. I had found no pressure activated switch on the door or body of the unit so decided to hit start. It instantly started and ran perfectly. On the second time same experience as the first and again required me to flex the door to then easily latch and run a perfect cycle. Based upon reading countless reviews of the dishwasher prior to purchase, it would seem the inability of purchasers to latch and initiate a cycle upon installation is the number one major complaint of customers(cant latch door, have to really push on start, dishwasher wont start etc.) Doesnt take much to figure the problem lies in the punch holes on the hinge, door frame or body frame are a hair off or the mating of door exterior to interior is off during assembly at the factory. Any quality control specialist at the assembly plant would read the reviews and would have remedied the problem a long time ago. It would appear the presses at the assembly plant are off, the dies have worn, or the quality control person at the factory was furloughed or on permanent break. Based on the price and performance of the unit once corrected I have little doubt what could easily be the best-selling dishwasher by far is selling far poorer than its potential. Flexing the door prior to every start is one solution. Correcting the manufacturing deficiency and random quality control would seem a more profitable solution! A door that doesnt close and latch is no less important on a dishwasher than on a home or car.

Posted .Hi there! We're sorry to hear that this was your experience with your dishwasher, and we thank you for bringing this to our attention. We can certainly understand your frustration and are happy to continue working with you to ensure you have a dishwasher that is working as designed! There are a few reasons why your dishwasher won't drain. The most common source of clogs comes from a blockage in the dishwasher's filter. Or, you may have an issue with your dishwasher's air gap, drain valve, drain hose, or even your garbage disposal, causing it to clog. We recommend you check the following: Ensure that the knockout plug has been removed from inside the food waste disposer inlet. Make sure the drain hose is not kinked. Ensure the cycle is complete, not in pause status.
Check that the glass trap or filter is maintained and installed properly with no clogs. Visit the Care and Cleaning section of your Owner’s Manual for more information regarding how to empty the glass trap/filter. For additional help, refer to your Owner’s Manual. If you are unable to resolve an issue or need more information, please connect with us via live chat or by phone at 1-800-374-4432. Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.–8 p.m. EST, and we will be happy to assist. ~Lauren
