Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher smoke coming out of door. smells like wires burning.

It could be.... It could also be something plastic that got onto the element that is melting and smoking. It could also be a connector to the control board that is loose and is over heating. This is more serious. Carefully check the heating element for some foreign plastic part that is pressing up against it. If there is nothing, then call a professional to make sure that it's not the controller that is overheating and in danger of catching fire.

Hi friend, thank you for your post!

I understand that your Frigidaire dishwasher is giving off an electric burning smell and you are seeing smoke coming out of the door vent. It could possibly be an issue with your control panel or door vent, both have electrical components inside of them. Since it could be either one of these underlying issues I would recommend having a technician come out to your home and diagnose and repair the dishwasher. Hope this helps. -Matt

its a relay on the pcb board

Its not the vent that has failed. You need to find out why the dishwasher is making smoke. The vent is only where it comes out. If you know what you are doing repair the dishwasher, if not replace it.

after turn on the stove for less than 5 minutes the smoke come out fronm the vent and smell burning

Hello,

it could be the motor depending on where it's coming. You can remove the lower panel, there are only two screws that hold it on. Look under their and inspect the motor.

Another part that could cause this issue is the mother board. The board is located behind the control panel. Remove the screws around the door frame to loosen and remove the control panel.

On most of these you also have to remove the plastic shielding that cover the control board. To do so remove the three or four screws that mount the board down.

Often these control boards will burn and create a smell like this.

Let me know.

Normally, the last part of any cycle involves using the heater element inside, and at the bottom of, the dishwasher to give dishes a final hot rinse. Possibly some small plastic-type material has become melted and stuck to the element - which will remain hot even after all water is discharged. Hence the smell.

Unplugged , take off the back cover and check for burned wires or if the coil is cover with alots of dust could burn it and smell smoke.

If the smoke was coming from inside the dishwasher... A common problem is a plastic item , utensil etc has fallen down onto the heating element. During the drying cycle this could possibly melt the plastic and generate some smoke.

The lights flashed on mine for about three months before smoke started to pour out of it during the drying cycle. It nearly burned my house down.
