Q: The dishwasher starts and makes noise but does not take in water, then the cross blinks before it stops. What should I do?

Detected symptom: Your WHIRLPOOL ADPU 5300 IX starts and operates, but water does not come in. After a few seconds, the cross blinks and the appliance stops. This indicates a water supply issue . Checks to perform: Water supply tap: Ensure that the tap is fully open. Turn it all the way to the left.

Question 3

Should the polystyrene at the back of the dishwasher be removed?

Accepted Answer

Question 8

Why doesn't the detergent tablet eject from the dispenser even after activating the Tablet function?

Accepted Answer

If the tablet remains stuck in the dispenser despite activating the Tablet function, here are the checks to perform:

Checks before the cycle

Make sure you have correctly activated the Tablet function: press the START/Pause button for 3 seconds until the Tablet indicator lights up. This activation is essential for the dispenser to open at the right time.
Check that the dispenser is properly closed after inserting the tablet. Access compartment D via opening device C, insert the tablet, and completely close the lid.
Clean the edges of the compartment: residues or detergent crumbs around the seal may prevent proper opening. The manual states to insert the detergent "in a dry dispenser".

During the cycle

The dispenser opens automatically at the time programmed by the selected cycle. This opening is synchronized with the program - it is not immediate at startup.
For multi-functional tablets (all-in-one), this dishwasher is optimized and offers the best performance when the Tablet function is activated.

If the problem persists: the tablet may be blocked by limescale or a deformation of the dispenser. Contact Whirlpool customer service (contact details in the warranty booklet) for diagnosis or maintenance intervention.
