Frigidaire dishwasher will not run

What's the model number? How old is this dishwasher? The new GE dishwashers (less than 3 years old) have a weakness in the door switch/latch assembly, and that would cause the light to flash - it wants you to press Start and close the door, but it's not recognizing that the door is closed.

Hi,
That sounds like a sensor and/or control board issue...

The board has gone wacky and is not running the cycles correctly.

First thing I would do is to get a new board in there and see what happens..

First I would check to see if it is getting enough water. There is a screen in the water inlet valve that tends to pick up debris. Follow the links Dishwasher not cleaning starting with the video on the water inlet valve.

First I would run the hot water until hot. Then start the dishwasher on the longest setting with the dispenser door closed( no detergent). Then after about 10-15 minutes open the door and check to see if the dispenser door opened, it should have. Then pour in about 1 cup of white vinegar and let the dishwasher finish. When the dishwasher reaches the end of the cycle open the door and it should be hot and steamy. If not check the heating element. If it is hot this should have cleaned it out, now try it with a load of dishes.

Dishwasher heating element replacement

if unit is less than a year old . call for service 1-888-203-1389. this unit has a one yr. warranty from the manufacture. recalls are usually not given on appliances unless it is a safety issue. however i have repaired alot of these under warranty for your same complaint. their is a splash kit u can get that goes on each corner of the bottom of the inside of dishwasher that will stop it from leaking, roughly 10-20.00 dollars depending on who u purchase it from .hope this helps out.

there is no fuse in the unit but u can unplug and plug into power 2 c if resets.

check electrical conectors to dw

i would ck incoming power at hook-up behind the lower access panel. maybe a wire nut loosed, if power present there next i would check the door latch switches, if they are not making contact with striker, or switch has gone bad, the machine is not recognizing the door closed and will not operate

both have a wax motor on them that needs to be replaced you just remove the panel and replace the wax motor is what its called

Here is what happened, you pulled the door open without pressing cancel and allowing it to pump the water out, hence the "flooding in the bottom". This is just one reason why it maybe blinking, there is a water sensor in the bottom. If your dishwasher is hooked up properly to any decent garbage disposal, run the disposal for about 30 seconds to a minute. This should pump the water out, more like activate a light siphoning affect. It should work as normal. If you are not having luck with that, detach the DW drain get it low and let it siphon.
