Frigidaire FPHD2491KF Professional 24 Built-In Dishwasher - Stainless Steel
Great performance, but...
Now that I have used this for a while I have some observations of this machine. One fatal design flaw on this machine, that both me and my friend are experiencing is the soap dispenser door sticks if you have your normal size dishes on that side of the rack. Dishes in this location need to be shorter to allow dispenser to flip up, which is not something that you should have to be mindful of when loading a dishwasher. Shame on the Frigidaire engineers here. Don't they use this stuff before they put it into production???? From what I can see, they made the bottom rack so large that it brings the dishes too close to the flip open door for the soap, causing it to either not open at all or only open partially. They should have relocated the soap dispenser door higher up.
This is something you need to consider and seems to show up in other reviews for this machine and other Frigidaire Dishwashers on the web. Also, it does not install flush with the face of the cabinets in a 24...
Fully satisfied
Fully satisfied with my FPHD2491KF after a month; time will tell more. Nice-looking, simple exterior. I paid $614 at a locally owned store. Best set of features I found at that price.
Installed it myself; straightforward j-box wiring and copper compression plumbing. Good instruction manuals (1 user, 1 technical) with installation tips. At first it didn't drain all the way, sometimes. After checking everything three times I called customer service. They were excellent, listened to what I said and then chose the correct diagnostic sequence for my problem. It stumped them, too, and they provided a list of approved services in my town. I picked one and he came over the next day. He made short work of it, immediately identifying that the air-gap anti-siphon fitting on my sink was partially plugged (stuff like fish bones that got past the old unit's filter) so it drained partly and we could see water coming out but it didn't all pump out during its time cycle. He cleaned it and...
Disappointed
This is probably the worst dishwasher I have bought. In a year and a half it has went through 2 motors, 1 drain pump, 1 control board, sand 1 display board. We bought a 5 year warranty with this dishwasher. So we expect a new motor every 8 months and new control boards every 1 and a half years. The service man said everything is undersized.so we will get to know him well.
