A Frigidaire dishwasher in Massillon was making loud noise when opening and closing, would occasionally not start, and had a small leak from the bottom. Our inspection revealed multiple door seal failures that were causing both the noise and water leak issues.
The Problem
The customer reported loud noise when opening and closing the dishwasher door. The unit would occasionally not start, and there was a small leak from the bottom of the machine.
Diagnosis
We found that the door gasket and bottom door gasket had failed, allowing water to leak and creating the noise issues during door operation. The splash shields were also compromised, contributing to the water leak problem.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 809006501 door gasket, 154827601 bottom door gasket, 154701001 splash shield kit
- Work performed: Replaced the door gasket, splash shields, and bottom door gasket on the dishwasher
- Result: Eliminated the leak and noise issues during door operation
Is It Worth Repairing?
Frigidaire dishwashers are generally reliable mid-range appliances. Door seal repairs like this are common maintenance items that extend the unit’s life significantly. Given that multiple seals failed together, this repair should provide several more years of reliable service.
Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Dishwashers
- Clean door seals monthly with mild soap to prevent buildup that can cause premature wear
- Check for small debris in the door tracks that can damage gaskets during opening and closing
- Run a cleaning cycle with dishwasher cleaner every 2-3 months to maintain seal flexibility
