I have a Frigidaire Professional model FPHD2491KF0, 3 1/2 yrs old, that will go through the water test yet when you start a normal cycle it will fill and then just sit there until it goes to the drain cycle and then drains. Any thoughts?

Check to see if the wash pump gets voltage when it should. If it does then the pump is bad. If it does not then the control board is probably bad. Also check the wiring from the wash pump to the control board. File Attachment(s): FPHD2491.pdf (137kb) downloaded 15 time(s).

I ran the Water/Service test and it went through all of the steps except the Wash/Heat and Wash/Heat/Disp. Would that indicate the Pump or the Board? How do I access the board to put a meter on it? I am hoping you will say behind the kick panel. Thanks again.

You will have to join the site and be logged in. This will let you get into the Manuals section and be able to download them. Frigidaire is a pain as they do not seem to list their manuals as they relate to model numbers.
