User Manual Frigidaire FFBD1831US 18'' built-in dishwasher

Some of our models have a dial that can be adjusted for the rinse aid dosage while others require you to use your control pad. Since our models may vary, we recommend referencing your Owner’s Manual to determine what is applicable to your dishwasher.

It’s normal to see some water in the bottom of your dishwasher after a wash cycle is completed. If you notice water covering the filter screen, try these tips:
Check that the drainage system is free and clear of debris.
If your dishwasher is hooked up to a garbage disposal, run the disposal to clear the drain system.
If you have a new garbage disposal, the ”knock-out” plug might need to be removed from the disposal. (This step can occasionally be overlooked during installation.)

If your dishwasher is not starting, we recommend you check the following:
- Make sure you have not inadvertently set DELAY START or CHILD LOCK.
- Make sure you have pressed START/CANCEL after selecting your cycles.
- Make sure you have closed door immediately to avoid having to reselect your cycle/options. If you added a forgotten item or interrupted the cycle, you may need to press START again for the cycle to resume once you close the door.
- Make sure the dishwasher door is properly closed.
- Make sure your water supply is turned on.

It is normal for you to hear the water filling in your dishwasher along with water circulating and the motor running. If you hear a knocking or banging sound, check to ensure you do not have dish, pot, pan, or utensil causing the spray arm to circulate improperly.
For models equipped with the fan-assisted Even Dry or Perfect Dry system, it's normal to hear the fan operate at various times during the cycles.
