Dishwasher door switch

Feb 25, 2008 3 Replies

My Frigidaire FDB421RF dishwasher is stone dead--no switch position or anything will make it do any thing. The wiring diagram shows a door switch as completely interupting power. The illustrated parts breakdown does not show where the door switch is. It is not obvious from inspecting the front and interior of the washer where the switch might be. Any ideas?

Grab a flashlight & hand mirror and see what you can spot underneath.

put your left hand in your pocket. with right hand, hand money to electrician. have your electrician put on rubber gloves, then unplug. use meter to measure ac voltage at outlet, hot to common prong slots. measure hot [wider opening slot] to ground [round] as well for

110vac. change to ohmmeter, with unplugged appliance's male plug in hand, measure across the wide common prong to the narrower hot prong with your ohmmeter for any resistance as you play with the pushbuttons and levers. resistance is good. infinity blinking is bad.
