Hello everybody. I was wondering about Frigidaire dishwasher pump motors. Fore example, on the fbd2400kw, how many rpm's does the circulation pump spin at? How many gallons does it circulate?

Here's a wiring diagram of the Frigidaire fbd2400 series. I could be wrong, but some Frigidaire recirculation pumps spin at 3100 to 3200 rpm's while others spin at 3600 rpm's.

I mean, usually the sticker on the side of the motor will show amperage and RPM rating, but I doubt you'll find that info in the diagrams or the spec sheets. I would look up the model number of the machine you're curious about, and then use that on a site like RepairClinic or Appliance Parts Pros to find a breakdown of the parts. Usually they'll have photos of the parts, so you may be able to use to picture to read the label. Sometimes you can just google the model number and then the word "motor" and you can usually find a picture that is sourced from such sites.

On a related note, in my own experience and opinion, the RPM rating of a motor or pump usually has no correlation at all to its noise level or power. It all depends on how the motor is designed and how the pump impeller and intake/outlets are engineered. For example, we just replaced our bathroom vents in our guest and master baths. The originals were cheap builders grade vents with paddle style fans and shaded pole motors. They spun like crazy and made a lot of white noise, but moved barely any air at all. To replace them, we put in Panasonic units that are much larger, with large squirrel cage blower wheels, and while they don't spin quite as fast and they're nearly silent, the air coming from the outlet in the roof is about the same as the air volume a dryer would produce. It's all in the design of the motor and the application it works with.

I just trashed this not well used dishwasher when the pump motor decided to give up the ghost. While replacements were not really all that expensive and normally worth replacing in a $1200 dollar machine, I have to say that even when it was new, it never washed the dishes very well and while nearly silent, who really cares if you can hear it washing when all you want is clean dishes. So out it went!
If anyone needs any parts for it other than the pump. contact me as they are going on Ebay shortly. I have the electronics and racks and such so if you maybe want some spares, let me know.
As for the pump which is probably a step up from the basic Frigidaire offerings, the tech sheet with the machine indicated that it delivered ONLY 19 gallons per minute to the three wash arms (Lower,Under top rack and constant rinse). No wonder it was so quiet and the arms turned rather slowly and the powdered detergent never got rinsed out of the dispenser even with nothing in front of it!
Sure was a pretty machine but was not worth the money anyone would have paid for it. My aunt and uncle even had the top of the line with the lighted interior and it washed worse than mine did and left all kinds of debris behind every cycle run on it.

Do as an old Jr High English instructor told me to do---"If you want to find out about something,look it up for yourself!"followed her advice to this day!
