User Manual Frigidaire FDB1500LFC 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.

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.

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.
Check to see if the circuit breaker is tripped or if a fuse is blown.

For additional help, refer to your Owner’s Manual .

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.
