The dishwasher found a fault in the water heating system. Try a power reset. If the code returns, the heater or its sensor needs testing.

Likely causes

Listed from most to least common.

  1. Failed heating element
  2. Faulty water temperature sensor (thermistor)
  3. Loose wiring to the heater
  4. Faulty main control board

How to fix the i60 code

Unplug the dishwasher or switch it off at the breaker before removing any panel or filter.

  1. Step 1: Reset the dishwasher

    Press Cancel, or switch it off at the breaker for 5 minutes. Then run a normal cycle.

  2. Step 2: Run hot water first

    Run the kitchen tap until the water is hot before starting a cycle, so the heater has less work to do.

  3. Step 3: Check the results

    If dishes come out cold, wet or poorly cleaned and i60 returns, the heating system needs service.

Parts that may need replacing

Check your model number on the label inside the door or on the back before ordering.

When to call a technician

If a reset does not clear i60, call a technician. The heater and sensor must be tested with power on and off.

A typical repair for this code costs $150–$350 in the US, including parts and labor. Prices vary by area and model.

Models this applies to

  • Gallery dishwashers (FGID series)
  • Professional dishwashers (FPID series)

Codes can differ slightly between models. Your owner's manual is the final word and is available from Frigidaire support.

Common questions

›Can I keep using the dishwasher with i60?

It may still run, but the water may not heat. Dishes can come out cold and wet, and cleaning gets worse.

›Is i60 caused by my water heater?

Rarely. The code points to the dishwasher's own heating system. Hot tap water helps, but it will not fix a failed part.
