Frigidaire Electrolux FDB1100RHM2 dishwasher fills, drains but doesn't wash.

Pliers, torx screwdriver, pipe thread tape, regular screwdriver

Frigidaire dishwasher would fill and drain, but wouldn't wash. I thought it was the water inlet valve so I replaced that, but still had the problem. I read where sometimes there might be something in the circulation pump blocking it from spinning, so I took it apart and cleaned it ( found some leftover food and other little tidbits in there). I put the circulation pump back in place, reconnected dishwasher, but got same result. At this point, I determined it had to be the circulation pump. I ordered it, received it the next day. Installed it and my dishwasher is fully functioning again :-). I'm not a repairman by any means, but this was pretty simple. Turned power off to dishwasher, shutoff water to dishwasher, disconnected the water line to dishwasher, pulled dishwasher out of location (I found it easier to do this way). Disconnected water discharge hose from underneath, brought dishwasher outside to work on. Removed the lower spray arm, trap drain, spray support, base, polypro filter. This exposes the cover that has 3 torx screws (remove these). Also remove the ball once the cover is removed. I then placed the dishwasher upside down, and removed the pump motor bracket (2 torx screws). You can then disconnect the power to the circulation pump, and then remove pump. Place new pump in place, make sure the 2 "O" rings are on the new pump. That was it! Hope this helps anyone. My Frigidaire model - Electrolux FDB1100RHM2. Another note, while I had the dishwasher completely out, I gave it a very thorough cleaning. It's now running and looking like a new dishwasher.

Dishwasher squealing all the time, loud!

# 2 Phillips, adjustable wrench

Traced problem to pump, would squeal all the time when operating/running, disconnected power, shut off water, disconnected water line, carefully removed dishwasher after removing anchor screws from under countertop, removed screen from inside bottom of dishwasher, removed remaining water from trap area, get some big towels, you will need them, lay dishwasher on its side, disconnect wiring from motor, remove two screws and anchor plate, and motor, (observe orientation of motor when removing it) lube new o rings on motor with food grade lube, orientate motor, will only go in one way into housing and lock in place with lock plate, hook up connector, I did not need the new wiring connector that come with it, you might, I did find a electrical connecter (plastic) that was charred on the bottom, to the rear of the unit, replaced it with a new metal one, reverse to assemble. Some electrical and water lines may be harder to get to depending on the installation, always shut off the water and the electrical power for safety.

Pump leak through the drive shaft water seal.

Very few needed, the rewire connectors only needed crimping.

5 stars are for the customer service. I received a pump and installed it, but it was very loud and got extremely hot. Parts Dr. sent a replacement right away that works perfectly.
