Components of your Frigidaire Dishwasher
Motor and Pump System
Your dishwasher has 1 motor which is attached to a pump, and the pump forces the water up into the spray arms. This same pump pushes the water out of the dishwasher, and down the drain, during the drain cycle.
Controls, Switches, Valves & Solenoids
A dishwasher has often six or more controls, switches, valves and solenoids. These include timers, selector switches, water-inlet valves, float switches, soap dispensers, drain solenoids, thermostats, soil sensors, door switch, drying fan, and the heating elements. Visit RepairClinic.com to find more details about each of these items.
Interior of Frigidaire Dishwasher
Dishwasher interiors contain dish racks, spray arms, the tower that sprays water at the dishes, the upper part of the pump assembly, and the water filter.
A dishwasher goes through a number of cycles. The timers and controls make sure the cycles run smoothly. This is how this process works:
- The dishwasher fills with water
- The water is heated to the right temperature
- The dishwasher releases the detergent when the time is right
- The dishwasher shoots fresh water to wash the dishes clean
- The dishwasher drains the used water
- The dishwasher sprays more water to rinse the dishes
- The dishwasher drains the water again
- The dishwasher heats the air to dry the dishes

- Cleaning of dishwasher exterior - The exterior can be cleaned with a damp sponge dipped in warm water with dish detergent.
