What to do if my Whirlpool Dishwasher won’t start or respond to commands?

  Kevin MartinAug 18, 2025
  If your Whirlpool Dishwasher won't start or respond, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the appliance is properly plugged into the socket. If there was a power outage, the dishwasher will automatically restart when the power returns. Check that the dishwasher door is fully closed until you hear a 'click'. If it still doesn't respond, try switching the appliance off and on using the ON/OFF button, waiting about a minute before restarting.

  If your Whirlpool Dishwasher isn't draining, it could be due to several reasons. Ensure the wash cycle has completed. Inspect the drain hose to confirm it's not bent. Check the sink drain pipe for any blockages and clean it if necessary. Also, the filter might be clogged with food residues, so clean the filter.

  If your dishes aren't getting clean in your Whirlpool Dishwasher, consider these factors: make sure the crockery is arranged correctly so the spray arms can rotate freely. Select an appropriate wash cycle for the load. Ensure you're using the correct amount of detergent and that it's suitable for dishwashers. Verify that the rinse aid compartment cap is closed properly. Clean the filter assembly if it's soiled or clogged. Finally, check if the salt reservoir needs filling.

  If your Whirlpool Dishwasher isn’t starting or responding, here are a few things to check: * Ensure the appliance is 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, as the dishwasher doesn't restart automatically after a power interruption. * Make sure the dishwasher door is fully closed until you hear a 'click'. * If the door was opened for more than 4 seconds during a cycle, 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 the appliance for one minute, then plug it back in.

  If your Whirlpool Dishwasher is making excessive noise, it could be that the dishes are rattling against each other; arrange the crockery correctly. Another cause could be an excessive amount of foam. This can be resolved by ensuring the detergent is measured out correctly and is suitable for dishwashers. Reset the dishwasher by pressing the DRAIN button and run a new program without detergent.

Why is the salt indicator lit on my Whirlpool WRIC 3C26?

  The salt indicator on your Whirlpool Dishwasher may be lit because the salt reservoir is empty. Refill it with salt. Note that the indicator may remain lit for several wash cycles after refilling. Also, adjust the water hardness setting.
