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
Drying relies on a heating element at the base of the tub, and a blinking Sanitize light during a test cycle points to a heating fault. Source: Whirlpool - Not Drying - Dishwasher
