I have a frigidaire dishwasher the digtal kind.it cleaned my dishes. after i opened the door it was still lit on clean so it wont do anything else I tried pressing the cancel button and it didnt work i also tried putting water in it so it can possibly restart itself I dont know what to do.
Just installed mine and I had the same problem after the first use. Cleaned the dishes, but had to reset the breaker to use again. It did it again the second time. Is it faulty? Is it a problem with the water temp not gettig hot enough?Just installed mine and I had the same problem after the first use. Cleaned the dishes, but had to reset the breaker to use again.

mine gets stuck on the clean position as well. don't think it would be the element because it runs first then gets stuck.mine gets stuck on the clean position as well. don't think it would be the element because it runs first then gets stuck.

It could be stuck on clean because it is waiting for the water to reach temperature before continuing. If the element is faulty then it will sit there forever.

I understand you want to know how to clean your Frigidaire dishwasher, model# PLD2560LCC, as it is starting to leave white spots on your dishes. Please follow these simple instructions:
1. Load your clean dishes and glasses in a normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or silverware.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Close and latch door. Press START/CANCEL pad.
4. Allow your dishwasher to run until it starts the second water fill (approximately 10 minutes). The SENSING light will be off.
5. Unlatch and open the door and pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bottom of your dishwasher.
6. Close and latch the door and allow cycle to finish.
Note: If these conditions persist, a home water softener should be considered.
I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.
Your screens are plugged with food residue in the bottom of the unit. clean it out. You can use 1 gallon of white vinegar for your wash after you clean the screens. Start your washer to fill with water but after the water starts, open your door and pore all of the gallon in the unit. Let it now run for 4 minutes and stop it by opening the door. Leave the door slightly open for 1 hour. close the door and let the cycle continue for 4 more minutes. open the door and repeat it a couple of more times. Let it sit all night with the vinegar in it and in the morning - close the door and let the cycle continue to the end. This should help soften and clean out the food particles in the unit. You can repeat the process and get a better cleaning then too. All the scale should be off your dishes now.
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.
you can go to www.frigidaire.com and input your model number in the manuels colum and you will be able to download a new manuel.
to clean you dishwasher you can use some CLR or any other kind of lime and scale remover to clean the inside and the spray arms.
if this does no good then you may need to replace the main wash motor.make sure there is enough water in the unit when it is running lack of water is a big problem with not getting dishes clean
The solenoid that opens the detergent door may have had water leak into it. Remove the inner panel from the main door, remove the solenoid mechanism and it's core. With the core out, clean the solenoid interior and the core surface with hot water. The core should fall out of the solenoid by gravity if it is clean. DO NOT OIL THE CORE OR SOLENOID. If there are signs of water entry to the solenoid, check the detergent dispenser seal for damage. Try using a tab type of detergent rather than liquid or powder. Make sure the release mechanism is clean as well. Hope this repairs your problem!
If you have dishes (typically cutting boards or really tall dishes) that block the dispenser door from opening, the water cannot wash out all the detergent during the wash cycle. Check to see that after loading the dishes, your detergent door has clearance.
