Whirlpool WDT970SAKZ Energy Guide

To reset your Whirlpool WDT970SAKZ dishwasher, press and hold the "Start/Resume" button for about 3 seconds or until the control panel lights turn off. Release the button, then close the door to reset the machine.
Check for clogs in the drain hose, garbage disposal, or filters. Clean any debris from these areas. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked and is installed correctly.
It is recommended to clean the filters once a month to ensure optimal performance and to prevent blockages.
Use a rinse aid to enhance drying performance. Ensure that the "Heated Dry" option is selected. Load dishes so that water does not pool in concave surfaces.
Place larger items like pots and pans on the bottom rack, and smaller items on the top rack. Ensure items do not block the spray arms.
Loud noises can result from items protruding through the rack and hitting the spray arm. Check and rearrange items to ensure nothing is obstructing the spray arms.
Ensure that the spray arms are not blocked and can rotate freely. Check that the detergent dispenser is not obstructed and is functioning properly. Use the recommended type and amount of detergent.
Yes, but it is recommended to place plastic items on the top rack to prevent them from melting or warping due to the heating element.
Check if the dishwasher is correctly plugged in and that the circuit breaker is not tripped. If those are in order, disconnect power for a few minutes, then reconnect to reset the control panel.
Regularly clean the interior, including the door seals and spray arms. Inspect and clean the filters monthly. Run a cleaning cycle with dishwasher cleaner to maintain performance.
