Frigidaire Dishwasher Error Code i50
Last updated:
The wash pump motor has a fault.
What i50 means.
i50 points to the wash pump motor, the part that drives water through the spray arms. The control posts i50 when it sees the motor stalled, overloaded, or drawing the wrong current. Debris caught in the pump, a jammed spray arm, or a failed motor are the common causes. The dishwasher may run a cycle that leaves dishes dirty because the arms are not spraying.
Most common causes.
-
Debris jamming the wash pump or spray arm
-
Failed wash pump motor
-
Wiring fault between the control and the motor
-
Control board not driving the motor correctly
Try this first: safe DIY troubleshooting.
-
Remove the lower rack and spin each spray arm by hand to check it turns freely.
-
Take out the tub filter and clear any glass or debris from the sump.
-
Confirm no tall item is blocking a spray arm.
-
Switch the dishwasher off at the breaker for five minutes, then restore power.
-
If i50 returns, the wash pump motor needs testing.

Ivan is the only repairman I would ever trust with our appliances! We have used him 3 times (for our dryer, our dishwasher, and most recently our oven). We called him when our oven unexpectedly stopped working and he got us scheduled right away and had it fixed immediately! He is prompt, incredibly knowledgable, very friendly, reasonably priced, and honest! Look no further if you have any appliance repair needs! Thank you again Ivan!! - Kate

Our ice maker in our GE Profile refrigerator stopped working. We contacted several vendors through Yelp and Esquire was quick to respond and were able to come out the next day. Our ice maker was back up and running right away! They were able to buy the proper part and install it all in one day. They were courteous and reasonably priced. I couldn't be more pleased with how it went.
