Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I access the float switch in my Whirlpool dishwasher?
The float switch is typically located at the bottom of the dishwasher tub. You may need to remove the lower spray arm and filter assembly to access it. It's often held in place by a retaining clip or screws.
•What type of detergent should I use in my Whirlpool dishwasher?
Use only detergents specifically designed for dishwashers. Avoid using regular dish soap, as it will create excessive suds and can cause leaks. Pods, gels, and powders are all acceptable, but follow the manufacturer's instructions for the correct amount.
•Where can I find the service manual for my Whirlpool dishwasher?
You can often find service manuals online by searching for your dishwasher's model number and "service manual." Whirlpool's website or appliance parts retailers are good resources. Alternatively, you can contact a local appliance repair shop for assistance.
