Whirlpool DP8700XT Series manual If you need service or assistance, Before calling for assistance

If you need service or assistance,

we suggest you follow these five 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

power

supply

cord

plugged

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.

If your dishwasher seems to run too long:

l Are you using POTS & PANS Cycle or HI-TEMP WASH Option? The dishwasher may be wait- ing for the water to heat.

l Is your household water temperature set too

low? Low water temperature settings will cause longer dishwasher operating times,

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

l A small amount of remaining water is normal.

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 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.
