Frigidaire Dishwasher takes too long
If your Frigidaire dishwasher takes too long, the problem is often tied to weak water movement that slows cleaning and stretches the cycle. The most likely cause is a damaged wash impeller, which can’t push enough water through the wash arm system. Right behind that are a clogged filter assembly, filter, screen filter, or strainer in the sump, all of which restrict flow and lead to poor wash performance. In many cases, a Frigidaire dishwasher cycle too long complaint goes hand in hand with dishwasher not cleaning dishes, dishwasher not washing properly, or dishes still dirty after dishwasher cycle. If those parts check out, the next likely issue is the circulation pump. A failing circulation pump may hum, stay quiet, or struggle to move water even after the dishwasher fills. Depending on your model, you may be able to replace just the wash impeller, or you may need the full pump and motor assembly. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact Frigidaire replacement part that fits your dishwasher.
01 - Frigidaire Dishwasher Wash Impeller
The wash impeller is a small plastic blade that forces water up through the wash arms. If the impeller is broken or is missing some of its fins, it might not generate enough pressure to force the water up through the wash arms. On most models, you can replace the wash impeller independently of the pump and motor assembly. Search for your model number to determine if your impeller is replaceable. If the impeller cannot be replaced separately, you will have to replace the entire pump and motor assembly.

02 - Frigidaire Dishwasher Filter Assembly
A dishwasher's filter assembly usually consists of both a course and a fine filter located in the sump. If one or both of these filters is clogged, you will get low water flow and poor washability. If the filters cannot be cleaned effectively or if they are damaged, they will need to be replaced.

05 - Frigidaire Dishwasher Strainer
Dishwashers will use a strainer located in the sump to catch food particles. If the strainer is clogged, you will get low water flow and poor washability. If the stainer cannot be cleaned effectively or is damaged, it will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
06 - Frigidaire Dishwasher Circulation Pump
The circulation pump uses a motor and impeller to force water up through the wash arms. If the circulation pump is defective, the dishes won’t be cleaned properly. If the motor isn’t making any noise or is just making a humming sound after the dishwasher has filled, the motor may be burned out. First, ensure that power is getting to the motor. Second, to ensure that the impeller can turn, check the pump housing for debris. If power is getting to the motor and the pump is clear of debris, the motor might need to be replaced. Be aware that the circulation pump may be challenging to replace, although many do-it-yourselfers ha...
