Frequently Asked Questions - WDF901WA WESTINGHOUSE

How do I install the Westinghouse WDF901WA dishwasher?

Ensure the dishwasher is placed on a level surface. Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water supply with a 3/4 inch thread. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. Adjust the height of the feet if necessary. For detailed steps, refer to the installation manual.

What wash programs are available?

The WDF901WA offers 6 programs: Eco for energy-saving, Normal for everyday loads, Intensive for heavily soiled dishes, Rapid for a quick wash, Glass for delicate items, and Pre-rinse for rinsing dishes before later washing.

How do I clean the filters?

Turn off the dishwasher and remove the bottom rack. Rotate the filter assembly counterclockwise to remove it. Rinse the filters under running water to remove debris. Use a soft brush if needed. Reassemble and ensure they are securely locked. Clean filters every month for optimal performance.

What should I do if the dishwasher doesn't start?

Check if the door is properly closed and latched. Ensure the power cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker is on. Verify that the water supply is turned on. If the problem persists, try resetting the dishwasher by unplugging it for 30 seconds. If still not working, contact Westinghouse support.

Why is there water left at the bottom after a cycle?

Common causes include a blocked filter or drain hose. Clean the filter as described in the manual. Check the drain hose for kinks or obstructions. Also, ensure the dishwasher is not overfilled with detergent. If the issue continues, the drain pump may need servicing.

How do I add salt and rinse aid?

Open the salt reservoir cap located at the bottom of the dishwasher. Fill with dishwasher salt using the supplied funnel. For rinse aid, open the dispenser on the inside of the door and pour in rinse aid until the indicator turns dark. Close both caps securely.

Can I delay the start of a wash cycle?

Yes, the WDF901WA has a delay start function. Select your program, then press the delay button repeatedly to set a delay of 1 to 24 hours. The dishwasher will start automatically at the chosen time.

What does an error code like E1 mean?

Error codes indicate specific issues. E1 usually signifies a water supply problem. Check that the water tap is fully open and the inlet hose is not kinked. Refer to the manual's error code table for a full list and troubleshooting steps.

Is the dishwasher child-safe?

Yes, the WDF901WA includes a child lock feature. To activate, press and hold the child lock button for 3 seconds. The door will lock and controls will be disabled. To deactivate, press and hold again.

Where can I find spare parts for the WDF901WA?

Installation

Fitting under a counter

Warning! Make sure that mains plug is disconnected from the mains socket during installation.

Put the appliance adjacent to a water tap and a water drain.

The plinth of a freestanding appliance is not adjustable.

Do not remove the appliance's worktop if you want to use it as a freestanding unit.

It is not necessary to remove the worktop when installing under a standard kitchen bench top.

Only remove the appliance worktop to install it under a close fitting sink unit or kitchen worktop (820mm).

Make sure that the dimensions of the recess agree with the given dimensions.

Follow steps listed below to remove the appliance worktop

1. Remove the rear screws (1).

1. Level of the appliance using the adjustable feet.

2. Install the appliance under the kitchen worktop. Ensure that water hoses are not kinked or squashed.

The appliance must be easily accessible to the technician if a repair is necessary.

Adjusting the level of the appliance

Make sure that the appliance is level to close and seal the door correctly. If the level of the appliance is correct, the door does not catch on the sides of the cabinet. If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the appliance is level.

Water connection

Water inlet hose

Connect the appliance to a cold water supply.

Connect the inlet hose to a water tap with an external BSP thread spout of 3/4".

Inlet water supply

• Cold water pressure: 800 kPa max - 50 kPa min.
  • Water flow rate 10 L / minute min.
• If cold water pressure is in excess of 800 kPa, a pressure reducing valve should be used. Check for leaks.

Caution! Always use new hoses when you connect the appliance to the water mains. Old hoses must not be used. The water inlet hose must be examined at an interval of twelve months for deterioration and replaced if necessary.

The water pressure must be in the limits (refer to 'Technical data'). Make sure that the local water authority gives you the average mains pressure in your area.

Make sure that there are no kinks in the water inlet hose and that the water inlet hose is not squashed or entangled.

Fit the hose nut correctly to prevent water leaks.

Caution! Do not connect the appliance to new pipes or pipes that have been not used for a long time. Let the water run for some minutes, then connect the inlet hose.

Water drain hose

The highest point of the drain hose must be no more than 60 cm from the floor and must have a continuous fall to the plumbing connection.

The drain hose can be lengthened using additional lengths and connectors. These must be purchased from Electrolux Spare Parts. The extension length must not exceed 2 metres.

The drain hose must be free of kinks and obstructions.

Electrical connection

Warning! Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.

Remove the sink plug when the appliance drains the water to prevent that the water goes back into the appliance. If you connect the water drain hose to a trap spigot under the sink, remove the plastic membrane. If you do not remove the membrane, remaining food can cause a blockage in the drain hose spigot.

The appliance has a security feature to prevent dirty water going back into the appliance. If, the spigot of the sink has a 'non-return valve', this valve can cause the appliance to drain incorrectly. Remove the non-return valve.

Caution! Make sure that the water couplings are tight to prevent water leakage.

Ensure that hoses are not crushed or kinked under or behind the appliance.

Once connected the inlet hose to the water tap, turn the tap on and check that there are no leaks.

Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage and

type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed.

The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate.

Always plug the mains plug onto a correctly installed approved socket.

Do not use multi-ways plugs, connectors and extension cables. This can constitute a fire hazard through overheating. If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced. If the mains cable has to be replaced, contact your local Customer Care centre.

The mains plug must be accessible after the appliance has been installed.

Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug.

Test the appliance. Run a quick washing programme and ensure that the appliance fills with water, washes and drains with no leaks.

The manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions.

Environment concerns

Warning! To discard the appliance, follow the procedure:

• Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
• Cut off the mains cable and mains plug and discard them.
• Discard the door catch. This prevents children closing themselves inside the appliance and endangering their lives.

Old appliance
