FDW301WS

Viking FDW301WS Softener Dishwasher

Most common issues on this model

  1. Cloudy glassware from a softener problem
  2. Filters packed with residue
  3. Short cycles from sensor trouble
  4. Slow drain or standing water

The FDW301WS is a retired 300 Series 24-inch dishwasher with a water softener, three wash arms, triple filtration, a turbidity sensor and Quiet Clean insulation. It fits up to 14 place settings on adjustable racks.

The softener is the part that owners forget about until glasses go cloudy. We check salt level, regeneration and scale first, then move on to the filters and the spray arms. A turbidity sensor that misreads can shorten cycles, so we test it before replacing the pump or heater. If the machine leaves water in the bottom, the filter, hose and pump are examined in that order.

Since the model is retired, we confirm part availability from the tag before quoting, and the price is written down first. A 30-day workmanship warranty covers the repair.

FDW301WSFDW301WS questions
How often does the softener need attention?

Check the salt every few weeks if you run the machine daily. If glasses turn cloudy after the salt is refilled, the regeneration cycle may need service.

Can I run the dishwasher without salt?

It will run, but hard water will leave film and scale, especially over time. Refill the salt promptly and let us clean any buildup that has formed.

Why does the dishwasher smell after a cycle?

Trapped food in the filter or water standing in the tub is the usual reason. We clean the filter and check the drain for slow movement.
