How do I reset my Whirlpool Dishwasher (Control Board Reset)?

If your dishwasher is unresponsive or the lights are flashing, you can often reset the control board using this sequence: Close the door securely. Press Heated Dry > Normal > Heated Dry > Normal (press these 4 buttons quickly within 5 seconds ). The machine should light up all icons and start a short diagnostic cycle. Let it run for 2 to 3 minutes , then press Cancel/Drain to finish the reset. Note: On some models, use Hi Temp instead of Heated Dry.

Why is my Whirlpool Dishwasher not draining?

The most common cause is a clogged filter. Remove the bottom dishrack. Twist the round UltraWash filter counter-clockwise to remove it. Rinse the filter under hot water to remove debris. Check the Air Gap (the small silver cylinder next to your sink faucet) to ensure it isn’t blocked.

Where is the model number located on a Whirlpool Dishwasher?

The model number tag is located on the inside edge of the stainless steel tub or the side of the door panel. Open the dishwasher door and look along the left or right edge of the door frame. It is not usually on the back of the machine. Still can’t find it? View our visual guide on How to Find Your Whirlpool Dishwasher Model Number.
