THE WORST CHOICE EVER!
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In all my years of buying appliances and living in so many residences, this is the worst dishwasher I've ever had! After washing, the food is still on it! I have to wash everything by hand all over again...so why have a dishwasher? It only takes up space and is an expense and more than anything, an aggravation!!

Posted .Hello, ClaudiaH! We're sad to hear that you're experiencing issues with your dishwasher, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. There are a few reasons why your dishwasher might not be cleaning effectively, including a dirty filter, incorrect detergent, improper loading, or the wrong cycle or water temperature. To get the best results when using the dishwasher, ensure not to overcrowd your dish racks to allow proper water and heat to flow through the appliance. And always make sure that the items are loaded properly. Large items on the bottom rack, and small items on the top rack; there should be space between the items to allow water to flow. Pans, cups, and dishes should be loaded facing down. Utensils should not be nested. The spray arms should not be blocked, allowing them to rotate freely. Also, we recommend checking the filter/glass trap to ensure it isn't clogged or blocked. If the unit is connected to the garbage disposal, please ensure the knockout plug is removed. Also, please ensure there are no kinks in the drain hose and that the hose is installed at least 32" above the floor, with no air gaps or clogs in the drain hose. If the issue still persists, please contact us at 1-800-374-4432. Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST, we'll be happy to assist. -Sam

Posted .Hello, KarenS! We’re sorry to hear that you’re not satisfied with your dishwasher’s performance. We want to help ensure your appliance is working as expected. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try: •For Cleaning Performance: Ensure that the dishwasher is loaded properly, avoiding overcrowding. Use a high-quality detergent and rinse aid, and select the appropriate wash cycle for your load. Also, check that the spray arms are not blocked and that the filter is clean. •For Drying Issues: Using rinse aid can significantly improve drying performance. Also, selecting the "Heated Dry" option and opening the door slightly after the cycle finishes can help with drying. If you’ve tried these steps and are still experiencing issues, we’d love the opportunity to assist you further. Please reach out to us via Live Chat at frigidaire.com or call us at 1-800-374-4432 (Monday-Friday, 8:30 AM - 8 PM EST). We’re happy to dive in and help! -Angel

Noisy dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.VERY Noisy! All the manuals and promo said it is quiet... NOT SO... It is loud but does a decent job cleaning the dishes. We are extremely disappointed. Frigidaire wouldn't publish my review... said it was "negative" ... They only want positive reviews...sad.

Posted .Hello Bruce! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're sorry to hear that this has been your experience with your dishwasher and would love the chance to review your concerns. A humming noise on your dishwasher can be considered a normal behavior and can be heard in either of the below scenarios:
1. When the wash pump starts and stops and the arms alternate.
2. Drain pump is steady at first but fluctuates when all water is pumped out.
In the event this will not resolve your noise concern, connect with us via Live Chat or call us at 1-800-374-4432, Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.–8 p.m. EST, and we’ll be happy to assist. ~Rowena
