Dishwasher wont turn on

Child Lock Controls
To prevent children from accidently changing the
dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock the
dishwasher controls by pressing and releasing the RINSE
ONLY pad (some models) or the NO HEAT DRY pad (some
models) for 3 seconds while the door is latched. An
indicator light on the lock graphic pad will illuminate when
the controls are locked and no new selections can be made
until the lock is released. To unlock the controls, press the
same pad, RINSE ONLY or NO HEAT DRY, again for 2
seoncds until the indicator light goes out.


Hope this helps?

Thank you for your post, friend!

I see that you are having trouble with the control lock feature on your Frigidaire dishwasher. I would be happy to assist you with unlocking the dishwasher. In order to provide you accurate assistance I would need your model number. You can locate the serial tag (which lists your model number) on the inside left hand wall of your dishwasher. I look forward to helping you out. -Matt

Hello Ray E. Weaver - Sounds like the Child Lock option may have been selected. This is a safety feature that allows you to lock and unlock the controls to keep children from interfering with the wash cycle etc. Press and hold the AIR DRY pad button for 3 seconds while the door is latched. This should unlock the control pad for you, light goes out and the unit will display the last cycle ran. However, if it does not, try resetting the unit by unplugging it for flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and turn the unit back on. However, if it proves to be ineffective I recommend contacting a professional to assist further. The dishwasher may possibly have faulty door lock switch.

I am not sure if this dishwasher does have a lock mode. See this manual.

It is possible to use the Cancel button to get it out of the unknown state.

Alternatively turn the power off and on and see if there is any difference.

Did you solve your problem? I just got stuck in the same situation! How did you stop it?

did you try holding that button for 3 secs, it should unlock it

I solved my problem by disconnecting from the power source and then reconnecting, apparently it needed to be reset, it now works fine!

fisher and paykel sent me a solution - turn off at wall and unplug then turn back on. The dishwasher reset itself and the drawer unlocked.

check the outlet where you plug this dishwasher into make sure you have power to it you may have a popped breaker. reply back if this is not the cause.
