Hi Charles - From what you have described it sounds like there is a miscommunication with the control board/panel and you will need to contact a professional to diagnose it for repairs.

SOURCE: Frigidaire PLD4460REC Dishwasher will not start

This is very likely due to a bad main electronic control board but the only way to know for sure is to do some electrical testing with a volt/ohm meter and the wiring diagram located within the appliance. If possible use the meter and the wiring diagram to check input/output voltages looking for discrepancies between the diagram and the actual meter readings.

SOURCE: Frigidaire Dishwasher Model:FDB1050RECO - When

same problem, wash light would flash, just like if the door was open during the wash cycle....took door apart and suspected the door switch was bad, fiddled with the wires that go to the door switch and the washer worked after that. so i had the door disassembled and used my hand to close the door latch switch then wiggled the white and black wires that go into the bottom of the switch, that is when it started to work.
wiggled with the wires for a while more while the washer was working to make it stop and start, until i found a good spot where it stayed working. been a few days and it is still working. need a new door switch if'/when it quits next time.
the door switch keeps the washer from running with the door open, it tells you the door is open by flashing the "wash" light when you try to start it. cheesy switch, my washer is only a few years old. i tried all the other things suggested, power on and off and hold down different combo's of buttons while standing on your head with your right eye closed, none of that worked so out came the screw driver.
figured if it was coming out to go to the dump i could not hurt it much more than it was at that time.
anyhow door switch was the problem, i hope this helps more people out there, i was close to throwing it out after not finding much for helpful advice online.

It would be helpful to have the full model number of the dishwasher.

Most likely the door seal is swollen and may need replacement.

Alternatively the micoswitch in side the latch assembly is not making contact with the latch tongue.
It is also possible the springs at the door base are too tight and need to be adjusted.

need the model number.

Power is on but will not start after pushing start button.

Try the micro switch which is located on top of the door handle. Make sure it's not wet and has current going through. Otherwise it's the capacitor which is connected to the motor. They are cylinder shaped normally and feed the motor in order to start the cycle. Easy to replace and relatively cheap but make sure it's the same size when replacing. There's a number on the front and mF next to it. Hope this helps

Kitchenaid dishwasher kuds30ixssa has pump running but have no lights on control panel with door closed.

Did you have a power outage recently? They are notorious for damaging circuit boards--usually about 3-4 weeks after the power interruption strange things will either start happening or *not* happening with appliances due to damaged computer chips on the boards starting to fail. Your symptoms indicate either a blown user interface(push button panel) or a defective main control board(board with the brains on it) or both!

Door Gasket keeps coming loose on Frigidaire FGHD2433KF. How Do I keep it in? Glue?

Good Morning friend, thanks for your post!

From the information you have provided the door gasket on your Frigidaire dishwasher continues to come loose. Typically, when your gasket starts coming out you may need to have a replacement gasket installed. I would recommend operating the gasket you need from your manufacturer and replacing it. I hope this information is helpful. -Matt

Door is ajar message when shut light comes on but doesnt run

That's because the door switch isn't getting pushed when you're closing the dryer door for some reason or another. Its located at the top of the door. Try pushing the switch by hand and seeing if the light shuts off when you manually push it.

Dishwasher is making noise likes it running and I haven't pushed any buttons. Cycle had said it was complete, I emptied dishwasher and when I closed door it sounded like it was running. I have tur

Hello seagraves98 - Since you have already confirmed that the spray arms are moving freely and the filter has recently been cleaned, I will suggest verifying that there is enough water pressure coming into the unit. Is the incoming water temperature at least 120F (49C)? If not, I strongly suggest that the temperature be adjusted on your water heater If any proves to be ineffective, it could possibly have a communication problem coming from the main control board, I would suggest contacting a professional technician to diagnose the unit accurately.

Which dishwashere auto resume wash cycle when door is closed?

All the tall tub dishwashers made by Whirlpool (inc. Kenmore and Kithcenaid) must have the start button pressed after adding a dish. If the start button control light is blinking, you must press start. On those models with buttons on the top of the door you must, in addition, close the door within aprox 5 seconds after pushing start. Hope this helps. Ken

Wont start

The lights flash when the door is not shut all the way, or the sensor that detects that the door is shut is not sensing the door is shut. Try pushing in on the door while hitting the start button.
