FRIGIDAIRE FGID2466QB - Manual (Page 2)

The heating element at the bottom
of the tub and the vent assembly in
the top right rear of the tub are used
to dry dishware. During the “dry”
portion of the cycle the heater, the
solenoid that opens the vent’s damper
and the vent fan are energized. The
vent fan draws in cooler, drier air from
outside the tub and pushes it down
into the tub. Hot moist air rises to
TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS
Tub Interior
Mounting Rib
Pump Assembly
The drain hose must have a loop at
a minimum height of 32 inches
in order to insure proper drainage.
To remove the main circulation
(circ) pump do the following in
sequence: Shut off electricity to the
dishwasher. Disconnect the wiring
harness connections located at the
circ pump’s motor. Remove the two
screws that hold the motor bracket.
Slide the motor bracket away from
the sump. The motor and pump,
now held only by friction against
O-rings, can be pulled out of the
sump.
The pump assembly is driven by a
synchronous motor. Rotation is in the
counterclockwise direction at up to
3600 RPM. The motor drives a pump
which supplies 100 percent fi ltered
water at a rate of approximately 12
GPM to one spray arm at a time. The
spray arm’s operation is alternated by
small “pauses” of the motor during
the wash cycle.
Draining is accomplished by using
a small seperate synchronous drain
pump mounted to the side of the
sump. The drain check valve is
located at the discharge end of
the drain pump. The drain hose is
attached by a worm gear clamp to the
discharge end of the drain pump.
the duct inlet near the top of the door.
At the duct exit near the bottom of the
door drier air escapes into the kitchen
and the condensed water runs into the
drain portion of the dishwasher. Energy
from the heating element warms the
incoming air and augments the energy
stored in the dishware. Together their
energy causes the water on the dishware
to evaporate.
Detergent and Rinse
The detergent and rinse aid dispenser
is a one piece component consisting
of a molded detergent cup and a
built-in rinse aid dispenser.
The detergent cup has a spring
loaded cover and the rinse aid
dispenser has a removeable cover.
To re-fi ll, remove the cap and poor
rinse aid in until the level shows
above the bottom of the cylindrical
opening and the sight gauge changes
appearance. If any is spilled wipe
it up before starting the cycle. The
amount of rinse aid released
can be adjusted by turning the arrow
indicator from one, being the least
amount, to four, being the greatest
amount.
To replace dispenser:
• shut off electricity to dishwasher,
• remover outer door panel assembly,
• disconnect wiring to the actuator,
• remove the six screws,
• remove the dispenser,
• replace and reinstall screws,
• rewire actuator.

EXPLODED VIEW OF WASH SYSTEM
Short Turn
Line up the center mark on the back of the
seal with the tub top center and press it
into the channel. Move along the channel
left and right periodically pressing the seal
into place without bunching or stretching it
until going around the corners at the top.
Next, place the free ends into the channel
at the bottom left and right by creating
a short turn at the bottom of the tub
channel and ensuring the seal extends to
the locator ridge at the bottom of the tub
(see enlarged portion of the image at left).
Then, press the seal periodically into place.
Finally slide your fi ngers over the seal to
press it fully in place. When complete a
single face of the seal should be visible
and fl ush with the edge of the channel.
Always disconnect the dishwasher from the electrical power source before adjusting or
replacing components.
