Frigidaire Dishwasher i30 Error Code
On Frigidaire and Electrolux dishwashers, i30 means water has collected in the base pan and tripped the leak / flood switch.

Step 1
What usually causes i30
Most common first. In my experience the first one or two on this list account for most Frigidaire i30 calls.
- 1. Water in the base pan from a door gasket or hose leak
- 2. Excess suds from the wrong detergent
- 3. Overfilling from a stuck inlet valve
- 4. Internal leak at the sump, pump seal or hoses
- 5. Faulty float switch
Step 2
What to try before you call
Safe things a homeowner can do. Unplug the dishwasher before reaching into anything.
- Cancel the cycle, then turn off the water and the power at the breaker.
- Look for drips under the sink and along the door gasket.
- Use only dishwasher detergent and clean the filter.
- Let the base dry for a day, restore power and run a short cycle to test.
Step 3
When to stop and call a technician
Water comes back to the base pan after drying out, because something inside is leaking. At that point the fix is usually a part, and guessing at parts gets expensive fast. I test first, then quote, so you only pay for what is actually broken.

Questions
Frigidaire i30 questions
How do I clear the i30 code on my Frigidaire dishwasher?
Fix the cause first, then unplug the dishwasher (or turn it off at the breaker) for about a minute and restart. The code clears once the dishwasher no longer sees the problem. If it comes right back, the cause is still there.
Is a Frigidaire dishwasher with a i30 error worth repairing?
Usually yes. Float switch and similar parts cost a fraction of a new dishwasher. I tell you the price before any work starts, and if a repair is not worth it I say so.
Can you come out today for a Frigidaire i30 error in Rockwall?
Most days, yes. I carry common Frigidaire parts on the truck, so many i30 repairs are done in one visit. Call or text (469) 446-4242 with your model number.
