Frigidaire Dishwasher Error Code i30

The i30 code means the aqua control sensor in the base pan at the bottom of the dishwasher has detected water. This sensor is designed to catch leaks or overflow before they cause damage to your floors or cabinetry. The dishwasher will stop running until the water is removed and the source of the leak is corrected.

No, you should not continue running the dishwasher while the i30 code is active. The code indicates water is already present in the base pan, and running the unit could worsen the leak, cause electrical hazards, or result in significant water damage to your cabinets and flooring. Address the leak before resuming use.

Repair costs vary depending on the cause. A simple hose clamp tightening or detergent correction costs very little, while replacing a door gasket typically runs between 15 and 60 dollars in parts. Pump seal or sump component replacement can range from 50 to 200 dollars or more including labor, depending on the extent of the damage and your location.

Start by checking for loose or cracked sump hoses and inspecting the sump and pump area for signs of leaking. Also examine the door gasket for wear or gaps. Once you identify and repair the leak source, the base pan must be completely dried out before the sensor will reset and allow normal operation to resume.

A power reset will not permanently clear the i30 code if water remains in the base pan or if the underlying leak has not been repaired. The aqua control sensor will re-trigger the code as soon as another cycle runs and water accumulates again. The pan must be dried and the leak fixed for the code to stay clear.
