Frigidaire Dishwasher Repair – Canton, OH (FPHD2491KF0)

We responded to a Canton, OH service call for a Frigidaire dishwasher that was leaking water on the floor. The homeowner reported water pooling around the unit after each cycle. Our diagnosis revealed the dishwasher wasn’t draining properly, which caused it to overflow.

The Problem

My dishwasher is leaking water on the floor. The customer was finding water pooling around the base of the unit after running wash cycles.

Diagnosis

Dishwasher wasn’t draining properly which caused it to overflow. The garbage disposal had been replaced recently and still had the plug in the dishwasher stem. This blocked drainage prevented proper water evacuation, causing the dishwasher to back up and leak onto the kitchen floor.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts needed
• Work performed: Knocked the plug out of the dishwasher stem on the garbage disposal
• Result: After knocking the plug out, the issue is resolved

Is It Worth Repairing?

This FPHD2491KF0 is a solid mid-range Frigidaire model that should provide years of reliable service when properly maintained. Since this repair required no parts and was simply a drainage connection issue, it was definitely worth addressing. Frigidaire dishwashers from this era are generally reliable and worth keeping in service.
