Frequently Asked Questions - ADG 4440 FD WHIRLPOOL

How to install the Whirlpool ADG 4440 FD under a worktop?

The ADG 4440 FD is a 60 cm built-in dishwasher designed to fit under a standard worktop. Connect the cold water supply hose, attach the drain to the sink siphon, and connect the appliance to the 230 V mains. Ensure sufficient ventilation space and check that the floor is level.

How much regenerating salt should be used and how often?

Fill the salt container (located at the bottom of the tub) with coarse-grained special dishwasher salt until the indicator light goes out. The frequency depends on the hardness of your water: the harder the water, the higher the consumption. Set the softening level in the appliance options according to the local hardness indicated by your water supplier.

The dishwasher is not heating, what should I do?

Lack of heating is one of the most common issues with the ADG 4440 FD. First, check the thermostat and the heating element. If the cycle is running but the water remains cold, the heating element is probably defective and needs to be replaced. You can find the original part at specialized retailers like pcdt.fr or whirlpool-piecesdetachees.fr.

How to clean the dishwasher filter?

Remove the cylindrical filter and the flat grid located at the bottom of the tub by turning them counterclockwise. Rinse them under running water while scrubbing with a soft brush. Reassemble them correctly after cleaning. A clogged filter causes poor washing quality and bad odors.

The salt or rinse aid indicator remains lit after refilling, is this normal?

After refilling the salt, run a complete cycle: the indicator may remain lit for a few hours until the sensor detects the new concentration. For the rinse aid, ensure the compartment cap is properly closed. If the indicators persist after several cycles, check the OWI sensor (optical water level sensor).

What detergents are recommended for the ADG 4440 FD?

You can use all-in-one tablets, dishwasher powder, or gel in the detergent compartment located on the inner door. If you use all-in-one tablets, disabling the separate salt and rinse aid dispenser may be unnecessary, although using salt is still recommended in very hard water to preserve the softener.

Dishes come out with white marks, how to remedy this?

White marks are due to limescale or insufficient rinse aid dosage. Increase the rinse aid dispenser setting by one notch and check that the salt level is correct. If the problem persists, descale the appliance with a specific dishwasher product by running an empty cycle.

The spray arm is clogged, how to unclog it?

Unscrew the spray arm (rotate by hand) and remove it. Use a toothpick or needle to clear each nozzle of limescale or food residue. Rinse thoroughly under water before reassembling. A poorly rinsed arm results in uneven dishwashing.

My dishwasher makes unusual noises, where do they come from?

A knocking noise during the cycle often indicates that the dishes are not loaded correctly and an object is hitting a spray arm. A persistent pump noise after the cycle may signal an issue with the 30 W drain pump. Check that no debris is blocking the pump impeller.

How to reset the dishwasher in case of a blockage?

Press the On/Off button for 3 to 5 seconds to cancel the current program and put the appliance in standby mode. If the appliance does not respond at all, turn off the power at the socket or circuit breaker for 30 seconds, then turn it on again. In case of a persistent alarm indicator, consult the troubleshooting section of the original manual.

Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers. Immediately wipe away any rinse aid spilt accidentally. This prevents the formation of excess suds which can cause a fault function of the appliance.

If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly dry: increase the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6). Plastic dishes have more difficulty drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation.

Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programs. In the case of shorter programs, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder detergent). Detergents with rinse aid incorporated tend to form excess suds.

Adding detergent - Use only detergent specifically for dishwashers in accordance with the supplier's recommendations

Daily use

Open the cover A (press the dedicated button).

Only fill the detergent dispenser prior to starting a wash program.

Insert detergent: Tablet / powder / liquid into the big chamber

Crockery and cutlery...	Possible causes...	Solutions...
...are not perfectly clean/have food residues	- Too little space between dishes (incorrect arrangement of the concave items in the rack).	- Arrange crockery so that items do not touch each other. Concave items (e.g. bowls, cups) must be arranged facing downwards in the rack.
	- Too little detergent; detergent too old or incorrectly stored.	- If necessary, use more detergent, observing the manufacturer's indications as regards dosage. Always store detergent in a dry place and do not store it for excessively long periods of time.
	- Temperature not high enough for heavily soiled crockery.	- For heavily soiled crockery, select a wash program with a higher temperature (see table of programs - page 1).
	- Loading of the dishwasher using lower and upper rack at the same time with “Half load/Multizone” option.	- If you select the “Half load/Multizone” option (if available), remember to load only the upper rack or only the lower rack to increase washing power and thus obtain optimum wash results.
	- Frequent use of Eco 50°C.	- In the event of frequent use of the Eco 50°C program (if available), from time to time select the Intensive 70°C program (if available).
	- Clogged spray arms, dirty filters or not fitted correctly.	- The spray arms must not be clogged, the filters must not be dirty and must be fitted correctly (see page 5, “Maintenance and care”).
	- Spray arms stuck impeded by crockery or cutlery.	- The spray arms must be able to turn freely and must not be impeded by crockery or cutlery.
Crockery and cutlery...	Possible causes...	Solutions...
...salt indicator lit	- Use tablets for soft water.	- Set "Tablet" option; if this option is not available, it is normal for the salt indicator to light up.
...have deposits: regeneration salt residue	- Water too hard.	- In areas with very hard water, more regeneration salt needs to be added (see page 2, "How to set water hardness").
	- Salt reservoir cap open.	- Close the salt reservoir cap properly.
	- Not enough rinse aid.	- If you use a combined action detergent, try adding more rinse aid.
...are not dry	- Plastic containers dry badly.	- Synthetic materials do not dry well; if wet at end of cycle, wipe dry.
	- Clean dishes left in dishwasher for a long time after end of cycle (e.g. when using "Delayed start" option).	- In this situation, the presence of drops of water on dishes and on the sides of the dishwasher is normal. Try releasing the door 5 minutes before removing the dishes.
	- Incorrect arrangement of the concave items in the rack.	- Arrange crockery so that water does not collect in cavities.
	- Incorrect dosage the rinse aid.	- Increase the dosage of rinse aid (see page 3, "Adding rinse aid").
	- Rapid program selected.	- The Rapid program 40°C / 45°C is intended for quickly washing lightly soiled dishes. If used for a full load of medium/heavy soiled dishes, the dishes may not dry completely. If so, select a standard-length program. For best results, open the door after the end of the program and wait 15 minutes before unloading the dishwasher.
...have discoloured plastic parts	- Tomato/Carrot juice.	- Tomato sauce, for example, can lead to discoloring of plastic parts. Powder detergent is recommended as it allows slightly higher doses to be used for improved whitening. Programs with higher wash temperatures should be used.
...opaque glasses, etc.	- Dishes unsuitable for washing in dishwashers (porcelain),	- Only use dishwasher-proof crockery and dishes.
...removable deposits on glasses	- Usage of incorrect programs for glasses.	- Dishes should be put together, to avoid touching each other. Do not put glassware together in baskets. Use suitable program for glass.
...glasses not sparkling	- Not conform of glasses to washing in dishwashers (porcelain).	- Some kinds of glass cannot be washed in the dishwasher.
...permanent deposits on glasses	- Rainbow effect.	- This phenomenon is irreversible. We recommend in future: - Change the control of system of dosage of softener. - Be careful - follow recommended detergent dosage. - For combined action tablets see detergent producer's recommendations.
...tea cups darken and dirt does not disappear after washing in dishwasher	- Not known.	- This phenomenon is inevitable. Theine alters colours permanently.
...rust marks	- Pre-wash program not used.	- Salty or acidic food residues can cause rust marks even on stainless steel cutlery. To avoid this, always use the pre-wash program if the dishes are to be washed later.
...other marks	- Rinse aid dosage too low.	- In the presence of marks, increase the rinse aid dosage (see page 3, "Adding rinse aid"). - If you use a combined action detergent, possibly add more rinse aid.
...streaks	- Rinse aid dosage too high.	- In the presence of streaks, reduce the rinse aid dosage (see page 3, "Adding rinse aid"). - If you use a combined action detergent which includes rinse aid, do not add any additional rinse aid.
...suds	- Unsuitable dosage of detergent/rinse aid.	- Only use the amount of detergent/rinse aid required, since excessive amounts can lead to excess suds.

If, after carrying out the above checks, the fault persists, disconnect the mains plug and turn off the water tap. Contact the After-sales Service (see warranty). Before contacting our After-Sales Service, take note of the following:

• the description of the fault,
