Frigidaire Dishwasher HD: Heat Delay Meaning and Troubleshooting
What it means
The dishwasher is in Heat Delay or Heater On mode while it heats the water to the required temperature.
Try this first
- Allow the dishwasher time to heat the incoming water.
- Do not cancel the cycle unless necessary.
- Run the hot-water faucet nearest the dishwasher before starting future cycles if household water is very cold.
- Allow the cycle to continue once the water reaches the required temperature.
Can I keep using it?Yes. Hd is a normal Heat Delay / Heater On condition while the dishwasher heats the incoming water to the required temperature. Allow the cycle to continue.
Repair usually required?Usually no. Hd by itself indicates a normal heating delay rather than a repair fault.
If the error keeps returning
Colder incoming water can keep the dishwasher in Heat Delay longer. Frigidaire says the delay is normally about 1 to 2 minutes for each degree of temperature rise.
