A Frigidaire dishwasher in Salem was displaying error message i30 and wouldn’t stop running. The homeowner tried turning off the breaker and waiting thirty minutes, but when power was restored, the motor immediately started running continuously and wouldn’t turn off.
The Problem
The customer reported that their dishwasher was showing error message i30 and the motor/pump would continue to run. They attempted troubleshooting by turning off the breaker and waiting a half hour, but upon turning back on, the motor immediately ran continuously and would not turn off.
Diagnosis
The pressure sensor was plugged and not sensing the water level correctly. This caused the drain pump to run continuously as the control board couldn’t determine proper water levels inside the tub.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 5304504077 — Pressure sensor kit
- Work performed: Replaced the faulty pressure sensor
- Result: Error code cleared and normal operation restored
Is It Worth Repairing?
Frigidaire dishwashers are mid-range appliances that typically provide good value when repaired. A pressure sensor replacement on this model is a straightforward fix that restores full functionality. Given that these units can run reliably for many years with proper maintenance, this repair makes financial sense.
Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Dishwashers
- Clean the filter at the bottom of the tub monthly to prevent clogs that can affect water level sensing
- Run hot water at the kitchen sink before starting a wash cycle to ensure proper wash temperatures
- Use rinse aid to prevent water spots and help with proper draining
