What Makes Whirlpool Dishwasher Repairs Different
Whirlpool uses a removable two-part filter, an upper assembly that twists out a quarter turn and a lower filter beneath it, and some models instead use self-cleaning filters that rely on water pressure. Source: Whirlpool - How to Clean the Dishwasher Filters
An air gap is required where local code mandates one or when the drain connects lower than 20 inches above the floor; otherwise the drain hose is run in a high loop under the counter. Source: Whirlpool - What Is a Dishwasher Air Gap
What Whirlpool Says to Check First
- Dishwasher odor. Whirlpool says to remove and rinse the filter in warm soapy water, then run an empty cycle with a bowl of white vinegar. Source: Whirlpool - Dishwasher Smells Bad
- Dishwasher not drying. Whirlpool says to check that rinse aid is filled and a heated dry option is selected, then angle dishes so water runs off and keep plastics on the top rack. Source: Whirlpool - Not Drying - Dishwasher
