  Several factors can cause your Whirlpool Dishwasher to not clean dishes effectively: * Improper arrangement of crockery. Make sure to arrange the crockery correctly. * Spray arms being hindered by dishes. Ensure the spray arms can rotate freely. * Wash cycle being too gentle. Select a more appropriate wash cycle. * Excessive foam production due to incorrect detergent usage. Ensure the detergent is measured correctly and is suitable for dishwashers. * Rinse aid compartment cap not shut correctly. Make sure the cap of the rinse aid dispenser is closed. * Soiled or clogged filter. Clean the filter assembly. * Lack of salt. Fill the salt reservoir.

  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 (the dishwasher won't restart automatically after a power failure for safety reasons). * 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 it for one minute and then plug it back in.
