John---How old is your Frigidaire dw and can we get a picture of the control panel?
I had 2 TOL Frigidaire dw's prior to late 2005 (when I purchased my Maytag), and although the Frigi's didn't do as well on pots/pans, I liked them. They cleaned dishes/glasses/silverware very well. I especially enjoyed (and frequently used) the upper-or lower-rack only cycles. And they were certainly more water efficient than my Maytag.
