What Makes Whirlpool Dishwasher Repairs Different
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
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
What Whirlpool Says to Check First
- Dishwasher not draining. Whirlpool says to clean the filters and sump, confirm the disposer knockout plug was removed, and check the drain hose for kinks and a proper high loop or clear air gap. Source: Whirlpool - Dishwasher Not Draining
- Dishwasher leaking. Whirlpool says to confirm only dishwasher detergent is used, then inspect the door gasket, level the unit, and make sure the float moves freely. Source: Whirlpool - Dishwasher Leaking Troubleshooting Guide
