FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR
The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and on
the machine’s functional components.
It is mandatory that the salt reservoir never be empty.
It is important to set the water hardness.
The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher and must be
lled when the SALT REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap
(anticlockwise).
2. Position the funnel (see gure) and ll the salt reservoir
right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg); it is not unu-
sual for a little water to leak out.
3. Only the rst time you do this: ll the salt reservoir
with water.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get into
the container during the wash program (this could damage the water
softener beyond repair).
Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete the proce-
dure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid corrosion.
FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse
aid dispenser A should be lled when the
RINSE AID REFILL indicator light in the
control panel is lit.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the
appliance tub.
A
C
D
FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device C. Introduce the
detergent into the dry dispenser D only. Place the amount of detergent for
pre-washing directly inside the tub.
If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABLET button,
because it adjusts the program so that the best washing and drying results
are always achieved.
Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause
malfunction or damage to the appliance.
WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM
Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently pre-
venting scale buildup on heater, contributing also to better cleaning e-
ciency. This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required
to rell salt container when empty.
Frequency of regeneration depends on water hardness level setting - regen-
eration takes place once per 6 Eco cycles with water hardness level set to 3.
Regeneration process starts in nal rinse and nishes in drying phase, be-
fore cycle ends.
Single regeneration consumes: ~3.5L of water;
Takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle;
Consumes below 0.005kWh of energy.
ECO program data is measured under laboratory conditions according to European Standard EN 60436:2020.
Note for Test Laboratories: For information on comparative EN testing conditions, please send an email to the following address: dw_test_support@whirlpool.com
Pre-treatment of the dishes is not needed before any of the programs.
*) Not all options can be used simultaneously.
**) Values given for programs other than the program Eco are indicative only. The actual time may vary depending on many factors such as temperature and
pressure of the incoming water, room temperature, amount of detergent, quantity and type of load, load balancing, additional selected options and sensor cali-
bration. The sensor calibration can increase program duration up to 20 min.

    Why won't my Whirlpool WIC 3C34 PFE S start or respond to commands?

      If your Whirlpool Dishwasher won't start or respond, ensure it's properly plugged into the socket. If there was a power outage, open the dishwasher door, press the START/Pause button, and close the door within 4 seconds. Also, check that the door is fully closed until you hear a 'click'. If the cycle was interrupted by opening the door for more than 4 seconds, press START/Pause and close the door within 4 seconds. If the display shows 9 or 12 and the On/Off LED is blinking rapidly, switch the appliance off and on again after one minute. If the problem continues, unplug it for 1 minute, then plug it back in.

    What to do if my Whirlpool Dishwasher won’t drain and shows error code 3?
    • S
      Shelby HaleAug 20, 2025
      If your Whirlpool Dishwasher isn't draining and the display shows 3 with the On/Off LED blinking rapidly, it could be due to several reasons. First, wait until the wash cycle finishes. Then, check that the drain hose isn't bent. Also, make sure the sink drain pipe is not blocked, and clean the filter if it's clogged with food residues.

    Why is my Whirlpool WIC 3C34 PFE S not filling with water and showing error H, 6?
    • F
      Frank MarshallAug 23, 2025
      If your Whirlpool Dishwasher is not filling with water and displays H, 6 with the On/Off LED blinking rapidly, ensure that there is water in the water supply and that the tap is running. Also, check that the inlet hose is not bent. After verifying these, turn off and turn on the dishwasher and restart a new program. Finally, clean the sieve in the water inlet hose.

    Why are the dishes not clean after using my Whirlpool Dishwasher?
    • I
      Ian RayAug 26, 2025
      If the dishes in your Whirlpool Dishwasher aren't clean, ensure that the crockery has been arranged properly, allowing the spray arms to rotate freely. Select an appropriate wash cycle. Also, verify that the cap on the rinse aid compartment is closed correctly and that the filter is not soiled or clogged. Ensure that there is salt in the salt reservoir. If an excessive amount of foam has been produced, it means that the detergent has not been measured out correctly or it is not suitable for use in dishwashers.

    Why is my Whirlpool Dishwasher not working properly?
    • D
      David MitchellAug 28, 2025
      Your Whirlpool Dishwasher might not be working because there is no water in the water supply, or the tap is closed. Ensure that there is water in the supply and the tap is open. Also, the inlet hose could be bent; make sure it is not. Another cause may be a clogged sieve in the water inlet hose; try cleaning it. If not, reprogram the dishwasher and reboot. After verification and cleaning, turn the dishwasher off and on, then restart a new program.

      Carlos MasonAug 31, 2025
      If your Whirlpool Dishwasher isn't working, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if there's water in the water supply and that the tap is open. Second, inspect the inlet hose for any bends. Third, the sieve in the water inlet hose might be clogged, so clean it. If these steps don't resolve the issue, reprogram the dishwasher and reboot it. After checking and cleaning, turn the dishwasher off and on, and then start a new program.

      To fix a Whirlpool Dishwasher that isn't working, start by checking the water supply and ensuring the tap is open. Next, inspect the inlet hose for any bends. If the hose is fine, check the sieve in the water inlet hose for clogs and clean it if necessary. If the problem persists, try reprogramming and rebooting the dishwasher. After completing these checks and any necessary cleaning, turn the dishwasher off, then on again, and restart a new program.

    How to reduce excessive noise from my Whirlpool Dishwasher?
    • M
      Morgan RobertsonSep 5, 2025
      If your Whirlpool dishwasher is making excessive noise, it could be because the dishes are rattling against each other. Make sure to position the crockery correctly. Another reason could be an excessive amount of foam. If so, the detergent may not have been measured out correctly or is unsuitable for dishwashers. Restart the current cycle by switching the dishwasher off, then on again, select a new program, press START/Pause, and close the door within 4 seconds. Do not add any detergent during this restart.

    Why does my Whirlpool WIC 3C34 PFE S Dishwasher stop early and show error 15?
    • A
      alangSep 8, 2025
      If your Whirlpool Dishwasher finishes the cycle prematurely and displays 15 with the On/Off LED blinking rapidly, check if the drain hose is positioned too low or siphoning into the home sewage system, ensuring the end of the drain hose is at the correct height. Additionally, check the water supply for leaks or other issues letting air inside.

      Stacy JonesSep 12, 2025
      The salt indicator on your Whirlpool Dishwasher may be lit because the salt reservoir is empty. Refill it with salt. Note that after refilling, the indicator may remain lit for several wash cycles. Also, adjust the water hardness according to the table provided.
