Frequently Asked Questions - WDT975SAHZ WHIRLPOOL

How to clean the dishwasher filters?

Remove the upper and lower filters. Rinse them under running water until debris is removed. Use a soft brush if necessary. Do not use metal objects. Do not operate the dishwasher without the filters properly installed.

Why is my dishes not completely dry?

Use a rinse aid and select the Heat Dry or Extended Dry option. Plastic and non-stick items dry less well. Load items tilted properly to avoid water pooling.

The dishwasher does not start. What to do?

Check that the door is closed and latched. Press Start and close the door within 4 seconds. Check the power supply (fuse/circuit breaker) and water supply. If the motor stopped due to overload, wait a few minutes.

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

! DANGER

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
  ■ Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
  ■ Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
  ■ When loading items to be washed:
  1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and
  2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
  ■ Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
  ■ Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

■ Do not tamper with controls.
■ Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of the dishwasher.
■ To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
■ Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
■ Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.

Do not push down on open door.

Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

■ For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The dishwasher is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

■ For a permanently connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.

KEY USAGE TIPS

Filtration system and maintenance

Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy conservation while providing superior cleaning.

The filter system consists of two parts, an upper filter assembly and lower filter.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher without filters properly installed. Be sure lower filter is securely in place and upper filter assembly is locked into place. If upper assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.

The filters may need to be cleaned when:

■Visible objects or soils are on upper filter assembly.

■Dishes feel gritty to the touch.

See "Filtration System" in the full User Instructions for complete removal and maintenance schedule.

IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush or a scouring pad, etc., as they may damage the filters.

Rinse filter under running water until soils are removed. If you have hard to remove soils or calcium deposits because of hard water, a soft brush may be required.

Internet connectivity (on some models)

Use the Internet Connectivity Guide included in your literature pack to get connection and operation instructions. You can also find these and additional information at www.whirlpool.com/connect. If you have any problems or questions, call the Whirlpool Connected Appliance Team at 1-866-333-4591. In Canada, visit www.whirlpool.ca/en_CA and click on the Whirlpool® Connected Appliances link.

Drying – Rinse aid is essential

You must use a drying agent such as a rinse aid for good drying performance. Rinse aid along with the Heat Dry option will provide best drying and avoid excessive moisture in dishwasher interior.

Energy efficiency

Energy efficiency is gained by extending cycle time and reducing the amount of wattage and water used during your dishwasher's cycle. For exceptional cleaning, cycles are longer due to the soak and pauses.

Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. Your first cycle will run longer to calibrate the optical water sensor.

Press Start every time you add a dish

IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door, such as for adding a dish (even during the Delay option), Start must be pressed each time.

Push door firmly closed within 4 seconds of pressing Start. If door is not closed within 4 seconds, the Start button LED will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and cycle will not start.

OPERATING YOUR DISHWASHER

1. Prepare and load the dishwasher

10-place load - upper rack 10-place load - lower rack

IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks, and other hard items from dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.

■ Make sure when dishwasher door is closed, no items are blocking detergent dispenser.
Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and inward to the spray as shown in the graphics above. This will improve cleaning and drying results. Angle dirtiest dish surface downward, allowing space for water to flow up through rack and between dishes.
■ Avoid overlapping items, like bowls or plates, that may trap food.

■Place plastics, small plates, and glasses in upper rack.

■Wash only items marked "dishwasher safe."

■ To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation, load dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items are secured in racks.
■ Use slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns to keep your silverware separated for optimum wash.

NOTES:

■The AnyWare™ Silverware Basket can sit in the door or on the outside front of the lower rack for completely usable rack space, letting you fit more items in the rack. It can also go in your lower rack to fit your needs.
■Silverware basket may vary by model.

If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots, lift and slide covers off to remove them and mix silverware types to keep them separated.

■ When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing down and avoid "nesting" as shown.

2. Check that all arms spin freely

Items in the rack can block the spray arms.

3. Add detergent

Premeasured Detergents

High-quality premeasured tablets and packs are recommended for improved performance.

Quality tablets and packs have been proven better than powder, liquid, or gel detergents at reducing filming on dishes. Using tablets and packs over time will start to reduce or eliminate white film. They are suitable for all water hardness and soil levels. Also, by using a rinse aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of white film (not all packs and tablets contain rinse aid). Always place premeasured detergents in main compartment and close lid.

NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types. See the complete owners manual for more details about powders, liquids, and gels.

■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
■ Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry place.

Pre Wash OPEN For best results, and Oscute plumour and Oscute Line Aid LIFT

Pre Wash SLIDE For best results. Wash SLIDE OPEN

Place selected detergent in the dispenser. Place finger, as shown, and slide lid closed. Press firmly until it clicks.

Push OPEN, as shown, and the lid will slide open.

4. Add rinse aid

• Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying performance. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The heating and drying options will not perform as well without rinse aid.
  ■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to drain off of dishes after final rinse. Rinse aid does not adhere to dishware, and when used, it is dispensed during each cycle.

■ To add rinse aid, open the dispenser lid by gently pushing in the center of the lid with your thumb while lifting up on the edge.

■ Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator level shows that it is full.

Illustration of a hand inserting a device into a device with a blue cap (no text or symbols visible)

■Close dispenser by pushing down gently on the lid.

NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory setting will give good results.

If you are experiencing poor drying performance, you may want to try a higher setting. Turn the arrow adjuster to a higher number to increase the amount of rinse aid.

5. Select a cycle

Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. Typical cycle time is approximately 2^1/2 hours but can take less or more time to complete depending on selections.

6. Select options

You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired. If you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option. Not all options are available for every cycle. If an invalid option is selected for a given cycle, the lights will flash. Adding options may increase the cycle time.

7. Follow the progress of your dishwasher

The indicator LED on the front right corner of the door panel will glow blue for washing/rinsing, red for drying, and white for complete.

Some models indicate cycle progress with LEDs on the control panel such as Add Dish, Washing, Drying, Clean, and Sanitized.

8. Start or resume a cycle

NOTE: If needed, run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. Turn off water.

Push door firmly closed within 4 seconds of pressing Start. If door is not closed within 4 seconds, the Start button LED will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and cycle will not start.

IMPORTANT: If the door is opened for any reason after the cycle is started (even during the Delay option), the Start button must be pressed again.

CYCLE GUIDE

This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described.

IMPORTANT: The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary as the sensor adjusts the cycle for the best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature or food soils are heavy, the cycle will automatically compensate by adding time, heat, and water as needed.

	CYCLES ESTIMATED	WASH TIME W/O OPTIONS	WATER USAGE GALLONS (LITERS)

If you experience Recommended solutions

Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle	It is normal for certain cycles to repeatedly pause for several seconds during the main wash. Is the door closed tightly and latched?Is the right cycle selected?Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse blown or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor automatically resets itself within a few minutes. If it does not restart, call for service.Is the water shut-off valve (if installed) turned on?
The Clean indicator is flashing	Check the following:■ Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down freely? Press down to release.■ Be sure the water supply is turned on to the dishwasher. (This is very important following the new installation of your dishwasher.)■ Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with water.Suds can come from:■ Using the incorrect type of detergent, such as laundry detergent, hand soap, or dish detergent, for hand washing dishes.■ Forgetting to replace the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid.■Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.
If you experience Recommended solutions
Dishes do not dry completely	NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a porous surface which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary.Use of rinse aid along with the Heat Dry option is needed for proper drying.Proper loading of items can affect drying.Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items when you are unloading the dishwasher.■Unload the bottom rack first.■ For improved results, place these items on the more slanted side of the rack.
Noise	NOTE: Common noises:■ Surging sounds can occur periodically throughout the cycle while the dishwasher is draining.■Normal water valve hissing may be heard periodically.■ A normal snap sound may be heard when the detergent dispenser opens during the cycle or when the door is opened at the end of the cycle.■Improper installation will affect noise levels.Be sure the filters are properly installed.A thumping sound may be heard if items extend beyond the racks and interfere with the wash arms. Readjust the dishware and resume the cycle.
Spotting/Filming	Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.Use the correct amount of detergent.Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes. If the cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and rinse aid. See the “Dishwasher Care” section. If it does not come clear, it is due to etching.Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C).Try using the Hi-Temp Wash or Sani Rinse options.To remove spotting, run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher.■ Wash and rinse the affected dishware and load into dishwasher. Remove all silverware and metal items.Put 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in a glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a Normal cycle with the Heat Dry option turned off. No detergent is needed. See “Dishwasher Care” section in full User Instructions.
Dishwasher does not clean completely	Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing performance.See the “Operating Your Dishwasher” section.Check filter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. See the “Filtration System” section in the full User Instructions for details.Select the proper cycle for the type of soils. The Sensor or Heavy wash cycles can be used for tougher loads.Be sure the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C).Use the proper amount of fresh detergent. More detergent is needed for heavier-soiled loads and hard water conditions.Scrape food from dishes prior to loading (do not prerinse).If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with water.Suds can come from:■ Using the incorrect type of detergent, such laundry detergent, hand soap, or dish detergent, for hand washing dishes.■ Not replacing the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid dispenser.■Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.
Dishwasher does not drain	Be sure the cycle has been completed (the Clean light is on). If it has not, you will need to resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing Start.If dishwasher is connected to a food waste disposer, be sure the knockout plug has been removed from the disposer inlet.Check for kinks in the drain hose.Check for food obstructions in the drain or disposer.Check your house fuse or circuit breaker.
