If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these steps:

1. Before calling for assistance...

Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.

if your dishwasher will not run, or stops during a cycle:

l Is the door tightly closed and securely latched?

l Has the cycle been correctly set? l Is the water turned on?

l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box?

l Is the dishwasher wired into a live circuit with the proper voltage?

l If the motor has stopped because of an over-

load, it will automatically reset itself within a few minutes. If the motor does not start, call for service.

l Is the delay feature on?

If your dishwasher seems to run too long:

l Are you using the POTS & PANS Cycle or HI- TEMP Washing Option? Is the dishwasher wait- ing for water to heat?

If water remains in ihe dishwasher: l Has the cycle completed?

l A small amount of remaining water is normal. l Is drain air gap or drain hose clogged?

if detergent remains in the covered detergent cup:

l Is the bottom rack in backwards? (The rack bumpers should be at the front.)

l Is the dishwasher detergent fresh and dry with- out lumps?

l Is the cycle completed?

if white residue appears on front of access panel:

l Is more detergent being used than needed?

See page 7 for recommended amounts of detergent.

l Some liquid detergents develop excess foam and build up on exterior of access panel. Try a different brand to reduce foaming and elimi- nate build-up.

if you hear grinding, grating, crunching, buzz- ing sounds:

l A hard object has probably entered the POWER CLEAN’” Module. The sound should stop when the object is ground up.

If the WATER HEATING Signal light flashes:

. Have you run water at the nearest sink before starting dishwasher?

. Is water temperature at least 140°F (6O”C)? Set water heater thermostat to a higher setting.

if signal lights flash and the dishwasher stops or will not run:

l Has there been a power failure?

l Is the cycle pause feature on? [See page 11.)

If control pads don’t work:

l Is the lock-out feature on? (See page 12).

If the beep does not sound when pads are pressed:

DU9450XT specifications

The Whirlpool DU9450XT is a standout in the world of dishwashers, combining efficiency with user-friendly features to meet modern household demands. This model is particularly notable for its powerful cleaning capabilities and innovative technology that enhances the dishwashing experience.

One of the main features of the Whirlpool DU9450XT is its advanced Sensor Cycle. This technology automatically detects the level of soil on your dishes, adjusting wash times and water usage accordingly. This means that whether you have lightly soiled plates or heavily soiled pots and pans, the dishwasher optimizes the cleaning performance, ensuring that every wash is as efficient as possible.

Another key characteristic is its Quiet Wash system, designed to minimize noise during operation. Many households appreciate a peaceful kitchen environment, and this model operates at a decibel level that makes it easy to carry on conversations, watch TV, or relax without interruption. The insulation and sound-dampening materials used in its design contribute to this impressive noise control.

The Whirlpool DU9450XT also boasts a robust wash system with a unique spray arm that reaches every corner of the dishwasher for thorough cleaning. The adjustable upper rack allows users to rearrange their dish placements to accommodate larger items, which enhances flexibility and usability in load management. Additionally, the model features a SMART soil sensor to further refine cleaning processes, ensuring that even the most stubborn stains are tackled effectively.

Energy efficiency is another standout feature. The DU9450XT is ENERGY STAR certified, which means it meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This not only helps households save on utility bills but also reduces the environmental impact associated with dishwashing.

Interior space is well-designed, providing ample room for various dish sizes and types. The durable stainless steel interior enhances aesthetics while promoting better drying performance. A unique feature is the built-in food disposer that breaks down food particles, preventing clogging and ensuring that dishes come out clean every time.

Overall, the Whirlpool DU9450XT offers a blend of advanced technology, user-centric design, and energy efficiency, making it an excellent choice for those looking for a reliable and effective dishwasher solution that caters to modern kitchen needs. Its thoughtful features ensure convenience, while its performance highlights Whirlpool’s commitment to quality in home appliances.
