How to Select Wash Pressure on a Frigidaire

Dishwashers use varying motor speeds to change the inside water pressure.

The Wash Pressure on a Frigidaire dishwasher is controlled by a motor that works at differing speeds. Frigidaire dishwasher settings for pressure are shown next to a heading that is clearly labeled "Wash Pressure". Higher Frigidaire wash pressure settings help clean especially dirty dishes and low settings protect fragile dishware from breakage.

Instructions

1. Look for the settings labeled "Wash Pressure" on the front panel of a Frigidaire dishwasher. Frigidaire dishwasher settings use this term to distinguish between the force of pressure applied to both the wash and rinse cycles. Three setting selections are available.

2. Press the "High," or "Max" speed to wash dishes that are extremely soiled. Sticky sauces, runny egg yolks and staining vegetable or fruit juices need the added force of high pressure to be effectively cleared during the wash cycle.

3. Push the "Normal" wash button for dishes that are used but not especially dirty. Dishes that are not of fragile composition and are not stained after rinsing will come clean using the normal wash pressure setting.

4. Press the Frigidaire wash pressure selection marked "Low," or "Delicate" for fragile dishware. The lower pressure helps to avoid contact between the dishes and glassware on racks during washing and rinsing.
