Frigidaire Gallery Extended Cycle Time / Heating or Fill Issue

Dishwasher runs for an unusually long time; cycle seems to never finish.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Low incoming water temperature, Slow fill due to weak inlet valve, Heater not working so control extends wash, Soil sensor misreading dirty water

Safety first: Turn off power before testing components.

Check water temperature: Run hot water at the sink until hot before starting the dishwasher.
Observe fill time: If filling takes more than a couple of minutes, clean or replace the water inlet valve.
Test heater: If water never gets hot, test the heating element and thermostat.
Clean sensors: Clean the sump and filters so the turbidity/soil sensor can accurately detect water clarity.
