A customer in Canton, OH called about water leaking from the bottom of their Frigidaire dishwasher onto the floor. The water was dripping from the bottom during cycles. Our inspection revealed multiple seal and component failures that were allowing water to escape the wash chamber.
The Problem
Water was leaking from the bottom of the dishwasher onto the floor. The customer reported that it drips from the bottom during operation, creating puddles on the kitchen floor.
Diagnosis
We found multiple failed seals and damaged components in this Frigidaire FGIP2468UF0A. The lower door seal had deteriorated, allowing water to escape around the door area. The side spray shields were cracked, and the lower spray arm showed wear. Additionally, the right-hand door spring tie needed replacement.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 154827601 gasket, 5304500204 gasket, 154701001 splash shield kit, 5304517981 lower spray arm, 154578801 cable
- Work performed: Replaced the lower spray arm, right-hand door spring tie, lower door seal and side spray shields
- Result: Dishwasher tested through complete cycle with no leaks detected
Is It Worth Repairing?
Frigidaire dishwashers are generally reliable mid-range appliances. This model appears to be worth repairing, especially since the leak was caused by worn seals and components rather than major mechanical failure. These types of repairs typically extend the dishwasher’s life significantly when addressed promptly.
Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Dishwashers
- Inspect door seals monthly for cracks or buildup that could compromise the seal
- Clean spray arms regularly by removing them and rinsing under hot water to prevent clogs
- Run dishwasher cleaner through an empty cycle monthly to prevent mineral buildup on seals and components
