For the most part, the FPID2497RF is completely average when it comes to water and power consumption. The total annual cost of running this Frigidaire is $28.24 per year, which is not far below the $29-30 per year average among consumer dishwashers. If you’re worried about energy and power costs, our meters found the frigidaire gallery dishwasher FPID2497RF’s usage rates to be pretty average. We calculated an annual cost of $28.24 per year, which is not far off from the $29-30 per year that many other dishwashers cost. In terms of duration, the Normal Wash cycle took about two hours, Power Plus took two and a half, and 30 Min Wash did exactly as advertised.
AquaSurge™ Technology allows you to adjust washing pressure based on your needs. So quiet you can run your dishwasher while you’re in the same room – runs at only 49 dBAs. As for how much noise it makes, the FGID2466QF emits 52dBA, which is notably louder than the quietest machines on the market, some of which have ratings in the mid-40s. While it’s unlikely to keep the baby awake at night, it’ll still be audible.
NSF® Certified / Sanitize cycle, removes 99.9% of common household bacteria, and being ENERGY STAR® Certified helps maximize your energy and dollar savings. We had a GE profile, but it broke a couple of weeks before the five year mark. We purchased the Frigidaire to match our other appliances. This dishwasher works about as well as our old one.
If you’re not big on cooking, don’t plan to stay in your home for 30 years, or simply want an upgrade to mention to potential buyers, a budget-friendly Frigidaire dishwasher is a solid choice. And of course, if you’re considering a full package of Frigidaire appliances as part of a kitchen remodel, the Gallery or Professional series dishwasher is the perfect finishing touch. Frigidaire also makes a 24- and 18-inch ADA compliant dishwasher, although they are slightly louder than we recommend at 52 dB. In addition to accommodating people who have disabilities, the latter has a height of 32 inches compared with the standard 33 to 34 inches, and may be what you need if your kitchen has raised floors. These spray clips on the top rack of the Frigidaire Professional series dishwasher let you secure wine glasses, cups, mugs, and bottles, as they fire soapy water directly into them to get them clean.
Like the name implies, this Frigidaire debuts the revamped Professional line’s new design language. And, indeed, the FPID2497RF looks like it means business, with a blank, monolithic front devoid of logos and branding and a thick, towel bar handle. Use a multimeter to check the thermal fuse for continuity. Once replaced, check to see if the problem has been solved, and if not, move on to the next component. Check to see if the door latch works properly when you close the door. When the door is closed it should be firmly and securely shut.
Controls along the top edge of the door contribute to a sleeker look. Some models hide all controls; others hide only some controls. The Dual OrbitClean® Wash System removes tough, dried and baked on food better than any other dishwasher.
I purchased this dishwasher because I previously had a Frigidaire and loved it. I got this one and it has been so terrible. I am so disappointed that I bought it and wish I would have just kept my old one. The dishwasher is awesome, easy to load, gets the dishes very clean. My favorite part is the upper tray where I can put big spoons, large knifes, etc. This is the first washer that has had that feature.
A couple of adjustable parts make loading the FPID2497RF easier and lends it some flexibility. Some of the plate supports can be folded down to make room for large items, and the entire upper rack can be raised or lowered to accommodate tall items. If you replace the timer and your dishwasher still won’t work, your last option is to replace the main control board. The control board is the “brain” of your dishwasher and is responsible for ensuring each component of the dishwasher works. The next component to check is the door latch. The door latch makes sure that the door is securely shut.
