  Brian SmithAug 12, 2025
  If your Whirlpool Dishwasher isn't starting or responding, there are several possible causes: * Ensure the dishwasher is properly plugged into the socket. * If there was a power outage, press the START/Pause button to resume the cycle, as the dishwasher will not restart automatically. * Make sure the dishwasher door is fully closed until you hear a 'click'. * If the cycle was interrupted by opening the door for more than 4 seconds, close the door and press START/Pause. * If the display shows F9 or F12 and the On/Off and START/Pause LEDs are blinking rapidly, switch the appliance off and then back on after one minute. If the problem continues, unplug the dishwasher for one minute and then plug it back in.

Check if the end of the drain hose is placed at the correct height. Check for siphoning into the home sewage system, install air admittance valve if necessary. * Air in the water supply.
