Let the cycle continue; the delay ends when the water reaches temperature. ### How long can Frigidaire Hd take? Frigidaire gives roughly one to two minutes for each degree the water has to rise. Colder water from the house makes the wait longer. ### Is Frigidaire Hd a heater problem? No, the machine is heating the water as the cycle asks. Book a visit only if Hd sits far longer than usual and the water never warms. --- **[Read on the site: Frigidaire dishwasher showing Hd | DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/error-codes/frigidaire-hd/)** **[Book a visit with DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/schedule/)**
