What the appliance detected
Detected condition
The delayed-start option has been activated.
What may contribute
Possible causes
- Delay Start may have been selected intentionally or accidentally.
- The display may be showing hours until the cycle starts rather than a fault.
Start conservatively
Safe preliminary checks
Work in order and stop whenever a step is not supported by the documentation for your model.
Record the display and model
- Photograph or write down the exact code or message before clearing it.
- Confirm the full model number and Frigidaire owner manual before taking model-specific action.
Use only documented external checks
- Confirm the display is a delay time rather than a fault code.
- Cancel the delay using the normal controls described by the owner manual.
- Press cancel carefully because repeated presses may cancel the selected cycle or drain routine.
Stop before internal work
- If the code remains after documented checks, request support or service.
- Do not remove panels, bypass latches, or access wiring, pumps, heaters, controls, or internal components.
Actions not recommended
- Do not reach into wet areas while power is connected.
- Do not open electrical, pump, heater, latch, or control areas.
- Do not replace parts based only on the displayed code or message.
When to stop and request service
- The controls do not respond to documented cancellation.
- The dishwasher will not start after normal delay-start checks.
- A separate error code appears.
