Bryce K Ames , IA March 16, 2015 Dishwasher was not draining After inspecting screen and drain hose with no obvious cause, replaced drain pump. Removal of the pump was very straight forward. 3 screws, 2 electric connections, and 1 hose clamp was all that was needed.

Nicholas J Temple , TX October 02, 2021 Appliance: Frigidaire Dishwasher FFBD2406NB0A The pump was dead. The flapper valve was severely damaged and drain hose was full of gunk. So my dishwasher died, I'm fairly mechanically inclined so I began diagnosing it and my first suspicion was that the pump died, so I started looking around to see if I could find parts for this model. I found this site, and I must say I absolutely love how the site is set up, they took my diagnoses of "water won't drain" and of course suggested the pump, but then also suggested the hose and flapper valve as possible points of failure, now I knew the hose was totally clogged as I was able to get water from one end to the other, but a flapper valve? Never even heard of it. I figured if I'm gonna be pulling it out and repairing id rather have everything I need all in one go so I ordered the parts, and they arrived 4 days earlier than the site projected so kudos to the shipping there. I pulled the dishwasher out and began examining all the parts and it was just like the videos showed, and just as easy to replace everything, and if the site hadn't suggested other parts. I would have had multiple problems, turns out my pump WAS dead, but the flapper valve was also twisted and distorted and the hose was caked full of crud, not clogged.. yet... but not too far from it, so by the site suggesting other possibilities they helped me avert other problems down the line add to that the super helpful walkthrough videos they offered and this site is fantastic!!

Evan B Denver , CO July 16, 2019 Appliance: Frigidaire Dishwasher FGBD2451KF1 Dishwasher was not draining properly The dishwasher would drain once during the cycle, typically during the earlier part of the cycle, but would not drain at the end. What I was left with was a basin full of dirty water. Troubleshot initially by flushing the drain hose, pulling the catches, etc., with short term success, but the problem came back. I read some reviews on this site and diagnosed the problem to be the drain pump assembly, a partially clogged drain hose, and a partially warped flapper valve. Replace all 3 parts last night in about 30 minutes, and the dishwasher is functioning just like it should again, with a nice healthy and strong drain.
