Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior of dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and
mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior,
a stainless steel cleaner, such as affresh
®
Stainless Steel Cleaner
is recommended. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products on the
exterior of the dishwasher.
Cleaning and Maintaining the Interior
Many detergents may leave white spots or a white residue on dishware
and on the interior of the dishwasher. Over time this residue can
become unsightly and could affect dishwasher performance. Use of
a dishwasher cleaning product such as affresh
®
Dishwasher Cleaner
can help to remove the residue. Monthly use of affresh
®
Dishwasher
Cleaner is recommended to help maintain the dishwasher. Follow
package directions.
NOTE: Whirlpool recommends the use of high-quality, premeasured
detergent tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid for dishwasher
cleaning and daily care.
If you have a drain air gap, check
and clean it if the dishwasher isn't
draining well.
To Reduce Risk of Property Damage During Vacation or Extended
Time Without Use:
■ When you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer
months, turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher.
■ Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing
conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase water
pressure and cause damage to your dishwasher or home.
Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
■ When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water
damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized
service personnel.

DISHWASHER CARE
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience Recommended Solutions
Dishwasher does
not run or stops
during a cycle
It is normal for certain cycles to repeatedly pause for several seconds during the main wash. Is the door closed tightly
and latched?
Is the right cycle selected?
Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse blown or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse
or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor automatically resets itself within a few minutes. If it does not
restart, call for service.
Is the water shut-off valve (if installed) turned on?
The Clean light
is flashing
Check the following:
■ Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down freely? Press down to release.
■ Be sure the water supply to the dishwasher is turned on. This is very important following the new installation
of your dishwasher.
■ Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher
may not operate properly or may not fill with water.
Suds can come from:
■ Using the incorrect type of detergent, such as laundry detergent, hand soap, or dish detergent for hand washing
dishes.
■ Forgetting to replace the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid.
■ Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.
Dishes do not
dry completely
NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a porous surface which tends
to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary.
Use of rinse aid along with Heat Dry option is needed for proper drying.
Proper loading of items can affect drying.
Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items when unloading.
■ Unload the bottom rack first.
■ For improved results, place these items on the more slanted side of the rack.
