What we fix in Minneapolis
The Minneapolis repair mix
How Frigidaire displays codes
Most Frigidaire dishwashers don't have a numeric display — codes appear as a blink pattern on the cycle LEDs. Count the blinks on the Clean LED (or whichever LED is flashing) to decode. Newer Gallery / Professional models with full LCD show iXX codes directly.
i20 / i40 — drain codes
Standard dishwasher drain order: disposal knockout plug still in place (free fix), clogged sump filter, drain hose kinked or clogged, drain pump impeller jammed by broken glass or label paper. Frigidaire drain pumps are inexpensive — $215–$345 all-in if it's the pump.
i30 — leak / AquaStop
Water in the base pan tripped the AquaStop float. Common leak paths on Frigidaire: the door gasket (especially the bottom corners), the sump-to-tub gasket, and the supply hose connection at the back. Dye-test, replace the leaking part, verify two cycles. $245–$385 all-in.

From the truck
Field-service notes on dishwasher repair
On dishwasher repair, we keep the diagnostic tight because the failure catalog on this brand is well-documented. The Twin Cities humidity swing — dry January to sticky July — cycles refrigerator door gaskets hard; a gasket that seals in March can pull ambient air by August and drive up compressor run time 15–20%.
Because this page focuses on how frigidaire displays codes, our tech opens the call by isolating that subsystem before touching anything else. For anything that touches refrigerant, sealed-system, or a gas train, we run OEM parts from Marcone or the factory distributor — aftermarket boards in particular are a warranty landmine we won't ship on our truck. The $149 residential diagnostic is credited toward the repair if you approve; if you don't, you pay only the diagnostic and we leave a written scope. Every completed repair carries a 1-year parts and labor warranty in writing. The section above covers the specific failure surface — most frigidaire dishwashers don't have a numeric display — codes appear as a blink pattern on the cycle leds.
We stock the top-30 wear items for this brand on the truck, so the majority of first-visit calls close without a follow-up. We're EPA 608 certified for sealed-system and refrigerant work, licensed and insured in Minnesota, and every tech carries a factory diagnostic laptop for brand-specific service modes. If the model is out of parts support, we'll say so on the first call and refund the diagnostic — that's the honest read on a repair-vs-replace decision, and it's the same read we'd give a family member calling about the same dishwasher.
