My Frigidaire Dishwasher Stopped Mid-Cycle

Breaker or Fuse

• Look at the dishwasher control panel to see if you have any lights on the display. If not, the dishwasher may lack power. You may have had a power surge that resulted in a blown fuse or tripped breaker. Older homes generally have a fuse box while newer homes have a breaker box. Check to see which you have. You must replacea blown fuse but just reset a tripped breaker.

Water Supply

• A water supply problem can cause the dishwasher to stop during a cycle and not finish. Try turning on a faucet in the home to determine if you have water. If not, contact your water supply provider to report the problem.

Cycle Setting

• The dishwasher has multiple cycle options and you may have inadvertently selected the wrong cycle, which makes it think it should stop early. For instance, the rinse-only cycle lasts just 17 minutes. The normal wash cycle is between 84 and 118 minutes.

Door

• The dishwasher will not operate if the door is not completely closed. The door should lock when a cycle is running, but a faulty lock can cause it to not work properly. If you open the door during the cycle, or it opens because of a faulty lock, the cycle will stop. To restart the cycle, the door must be securely closed. If the lock is faulty, you should consult a qualified Frigidaire technician to get it serviced.
