Whirlpool SUD7000 manual Cycle Status Indicators, Drying System, Overfill Protection Float

Air Dry Control Lock

Select this option to dry dishes without heat and save energy. The dishes take longer to dry and some spotting can occur.

For best drying, use a liquid rinse aid. Some items (such as plastics) may need towel drying.

NOTE: The dishwasher automatically heats the air in the dishwasher during the “dry” portion of the cycle unless you select Air Dry Control Lock.

Delay Hours

Use Delay Hours to run your dishwasher at a later time or during off-peak hours. You can add items to the load anytime during the delay countdown. After adding items, close the door firmly until it latches. The delay countdown will not continue if the door is not latched.

Cycle Status Indicators

Follow the progress of your dishwasher with the Cycle Status Indicators.

Drying System

During drying, you can see steam escaping through the vent at the upper left corner of the door. This is normal as the heat dries your dishes.

IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent during drying.

Overfill Protection Float

The overfill protection float (in the front right corner of the dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher from overfilling. It must be in place for the dishwasher to operate.

Sensing

Your dishwasher senses the soil level on the dishes. Soil level determines the length of some cycles, the amount of heat added to the wash or rinse, and the cycle needed for the load. Sensing glows during the soil sensing parts of the cycle. Wash action continues while sensing occurs.

Heat Water

Heat Water glows whenever water is heated during a cycle. Wash or rinse action continues as the water heats.

Clean

Clean glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns off when you open the door or press CANCEL/DRAIN.

Check under the float for objects that may keep the protector from moving up or down.
