To run a drain cycle on a Frigidaire dishwasher, follow these general steps:
Cancel the current wash cycle: If your dishwasher is currently running a wash cycle, you'll need to cancel it before proceeding. Look for a "Cancel" or "Stop" button on the dishwasher's control panel and press it to halt the current cycle.
Open the dishwasher door: Once you've canceled the cycle, open the dishwasher door to access the interior.
Check for debris: Before starting the drain cycle, check the dishwasher's bottom area, filter, and drain to ensure there are no large food particles or debris clogging the drain. Remove any visible debris if necessary.
Close the dishwasher door: After ensuring there is no debris blocking the drain, close the dishwasher door securely.
Select the drain cycle: Different Frigidaire dishwasher models may have slightly different control panel layouts, but the drain cycle option is usually labeled or indicated by an icon. Look for a button or setting that says "Drain," "Drain Only," or an icon resembling water flowing out of a box.
Start the drain cycle: Press the "Drain" button or select the "Drain" setting on the control panel. The dishwasher will initiate the drain cycle, pumping out any standing water from the dishwasher's interior.
Wait for completion: Allow the dishwasher to complete the drain cycle. This process usually takes a few minutes.
Check for water residue: After the drain cycle is complete, open the dishwasher door again to inspect the interior for any remaining water. If you notice standing water, there may be a drainage issue that requires further investigation or professional repair.
Please note that the exact steps for running a drain cycle on a Frigidaire dishwasher may vary depending on the model you have. It's always a good idea to refer to the specific model's user manual or the manufacturer's website for detailed instructions tailored to your dishwasher model.
