Why won't my Whirlpool Dishwasher start or respond to commands?
- NnbellAug 13, 2025
Your Whirlpool Dishwasher might not start or respond to commands due to several reasons: * The appliance might not be plugged in properly; ensure the plug is fully inserted into the socket. * There may be a power outage; if so, open the dishwasher door, press the START/Pause button, and close the door within 4 seconds (the dishwasher doesn't restart automatically after a power outage). * The dishwasher door might not be closed properly; push the door vigorously until you hear a 'click'. * The cycle may have been interrupted by opening the door for more than 4 seconds; press START/Pause and close the door within 4 seconds. * As a general solution, try switching the appliance off and on again. If the problem persists, unplug it for 1 minute, then plug it back in.
