FDSH4501AS
Frigidaire FDSH4501AS Dishwasher Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Top control panel that does not respond to a button press
- Cycle that stops or never starts
- Water that stays in the bottom of the tub
- Rust spots or residue from hard water
- Leak at the door seal
The FDSH4501AS is a 24-inch built-in Frigidaire dishwasher with a stainless steel tub, integrated top controls and several wash cycle options. It is an older model, and it is still in many Houston kitchens.
With the controls along the top edge of the door, the first thing we test on this type is the control panel and the door latch, since the board sits behind the door liner. If a cycle will not start, we also check the door switch. For water left in the tub, we move to the drain pump, the hose and the filter. A stainless tub can still collect mineral film, so we look at the spray arms for scale too.
If the repair costs more than the dishwasher is worth, you will hear that from us. The quote is in writing before work, the model and serial on the label decide the part, and the repair is warranted for 30 days.

Why do my top-edge dishwasher buttons stop working?
The control board may have moisture damage, the ribbon connection behind the door may be loose, or the buttons may be worn. We open the door liner and test the connections before we price a board.
Does a stainless steel tub need special care?
Not special care, but it benefits from a periodic filter clean and a descaling rinse. Mineral buildup affects the spray arms and the heating element, and we check both.
What does a dishwasher repair cost compared with a new one?
It depends on the part. A pump, valve or latch is usually a modest repair. If the board and the tub both have problems, replacing the unit may be the better value, and we say so.
