Cool!
My Frigidaire sounds similar with the alternating spray arms. The lower on mine is the Blade Spray so it sounds slightly different. I've had great results with it. I'm very happy.
I have used Finish tabs exclusively for the past several years but recently I bought some of the Sam's pacs and the work pretty well I must say. I add a wee bit of STPP to each load too. Keeps the inside of the dishwasher nice and clean. | ||

Your Frigidaire is impressively quiet for a contractor-grade machine. Cascade Platinum pacs do the best job in my dishwasher, as well.
Ashtrays are a challenge for the upper rack. I'd forgotten how a bit of mashed-in ash would sometimes be left behind---even in soft water. Hard to believe it's been well over a decade since my last Merit. 🚬 | ||

Here's the unit at Lowes It does get the ashtrays clean frig, even in top rack. Also dries much better than the landlord supplied GE at the condo. CLICK HERE TO GO TO washman's LINK | ||

Mr. Bobload would be upset
at that under loaded machine.....LOL
but it does sound like a lot of action going on inside. I have hard water and I use finish powerball with no problems at all, although I've heard Cacade Platinum is best, but some people say it leaves your dishes with a detergent taste? I dunno, I've never tried it.....but many people here use it, so I doubt that reviewer. | ||

I run mine everyday and sometimes it's def not a full load. I try to use the Top Rack (Energy Saver) cycle when it's not full. I'll space everything out evenly so the sprays can do a better job since it's a shorter cycle. But even on "Normal" Heated Wash...it runs typically for maybe 1 hour 15-20 minutes. Top Rack is just over an hour. It doesn't just use the top rack spray though...which is weird, but whatever. lol

Frigidaire pump motor
This is the current style of Frigidaire main wash pump. Some are slightly different, but are the same Johnson Electric architecture.
Pump impeller up front. Grinding chamber in back. 2900-3100rpm .7-1.2amps www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/b... The much older, Askoll-sourced pumps looked something like this. product-images.highwire.com/45599... | ||

frigidaire dishwasher I plan on getting my dad a Frigidaire dishwasher model fbd2400kw. I also plan on trying the cascade platinum packs in the lemon burst scent. I do have plenty of their sister rinse agent. | ||

A year on still going The cascade paks consistently outperform all other brands I have used, even the Finish powerball recommended by the manufacturer. | ||

GEL, not only is it not turning but mine runs that arm much longer. Have you checked to see if the top sprayer has "blown" off? Mine does it all the time and I super glue it back together. Either way, you got issues. I have never had a better DW than this "Professional" model FD. | ||

My FD DW has a "trident" lower arm that I guess was short lived. Sad, cause it does the job. | ||
