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

Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license.

In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
