The dial seems to stick and it runs forever, it seems to shut off, but not complete. There was a couple times I started it before going to bed. Next morning I thought it had finshed (wasn't running) I unloaded it (dishes were warm?). The dishes seemed clean and dry. After unloaded I shut the door and it started running. The dial was at about 8:00.
I have ran the unit twice while I was nearby to keep an eye on it. The dial seems to stick, it takes forever, If/when it finally gets to the dry cycle it does not empty water and never finishes unless I turn the dial. Can you help us? Is it the timer? Can I get a new timer? Can I fix this myself? I am pretty handy, was once a maintenance technician in a auto factory.
This dishwasher is about 4 years old. Unfortunately we never sent in the warranty card.
Thanks,
Bob
I had the same problem. Turn the HIGH TEMP buttons off. Simply turning them off corrected this problem for me. Mine got stuck in two places and I had to manually turn the dials or the washer would run all night.
Frigidaire FDB710LCS0 Dishwasher dial will not continue if High temp button is "on" until a certain water temp is reached. I narrowed the problem to either the heating element or the thermostat. I intend to replace both just to be sure.
Thanks,

I appreciate your post, George!
From the information you have provided your Frigidaire dishwasher runs through the full cycle and will not shut down once the drying time has completed. This could be an indication that a sensor has failed or the control panel is not communicating properly. The best way to pinpoint what the issue could be is to uninstall your dishwasher and disassemble it. This way you can test each electrical component and assure that they are receiving proper voltage. This, however, is not a simple DIY job. I would recommend seeking assistance from a professional technician for proper diagnosis and repair. Contacting a professional will prevent any future issues or unnecessary part purchases. -Matt

My daughter and I bought the same Frigidaire dishwasher at Lowes. We are having the same problem, runs forever if you don't move the dial. Gets stuck halfway between light wash and drying. They are both less than 6 months old.
Mine does the exact same thing, except that it gets stuck in two different places--normal wash AND just before going over into DRYING mode.
