User Manual Frigidaire GLD2155RDC gallery 24'' built-in dishwasher

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.

To prevent children from accidentally changing the dishwasher settings or starting the dishwasher, you can lock the controls.
For Plastic Tub Dishwashers -
Press and hold DELAY START for 3 seconds. 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 DELAY START again for 3 seconds, and the indicator light will go out.
For Stainless Steel Dishwashers -
Press DELAY START until the display window displays "loc".
To unlock the controls, press DELAY START until "loc" is no longer displayed in the displaystatus window.

The amount of detergent you need to use depends on whether you have hard or soft water. To determine the proper amount, follow these tips:

If you are using dishwasher packs or tablets, use only one at a time.

If you’ve selected a quick or fast cycle, add the detergent pack or tablet in the tub so it dissolves during shorter cycles.

For powder, gel and liquid detergents, consult your Owner’s Manual, which lists the correct amount of detergent for degree of water conditions.

You can also find more tips at www.cascadeclean.com.

To determine your water hardness, contact your water supplier or have your water tested by an outside source (such as a company that sells water treatment equipment).

For best results, follow these tips for detergent use:

Make sure the detergent is fresh. When it’s old or expired, it might not dissolve properly.
Store detergent in a cool, dry place.
When loading the dishwasher, be sure that the detergent dispenser can open freely (not blocked by a dish/pan, etc) and that water from the spray arm can reach the open dispenser.
Because most detergents are designed to dissolve and activate at 120°F, your dishwasher will perform best if your water temperature is 120°F or higher at the start of a wash cycle.

TIP: Feel free to check your water heater setting. You may also run hot water from the kitchen faucet prior to starting the dishwasher.

Since the adjustability of your racks may vary by model, we recommend that you first reference your Owner’s Manual.

However, here are some helpful tips depending on your dishwasher tub type:

For Plastic Tub Dishwashers -

To raise the upper rack, press the lever on the rack toward the center of the rack and pull straight up.

To lower the upper rack, press the lever and push down on the rack. Your Owner’s Manual may have a diagram for assistance.

For Stainless Tub Dishwashers -

The top rack height can be easily adjusted to accommodate loading taller dishes.

To raise the rack, lift up until both sides are at the same height and the rack will secure in place. Ensure the rack remains level from front to back with both sides at the same height.

To lower the rack, lift the rack slightly then push down and release.

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.

The display window of your dishwasher may show the following activity:

1-24: the number of delay start hours. The last hour will count down in minutes.

1-199: the number of minutes left in a cycle.

L0-L6: the level of rinse aid dosage on some models.

CL or Close the door: reminds you the door need to be closed to start the cycle.

LOC: indicates the door is locked.

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.
