Whirlpool Repair Kitchener

Temperature Sensor Issue: The dishwasher's temperature sensor has detected an extreme temperature, either below -3 Celsius or above 85 Celsius. This error may also indicate a failure in the NTC temperature sensor, requiring replacement.

Water Leak: This code is displayed when a leak is detected. Drain the base and locate the source of the leak for necessary repairs.

Heating System Issue: Your dishwasher is either not heating or heating too slowly. Possible causes include a malfunctioning heating element, a faulty temperature sensor, or a defective connection between the control board and the heater.

Drainage System Issue: This signals a failure in your dishwasher's drainage system. The cause may be a blocked or faulty drain hose or pump. In such instances, clean or replace the affected part.

Rotor Blockage: This points to an issue with the wash motor, the component responsible for movement.

Not Filling: This code signifies a failure in the expected water entry into the dishwasher. Consider replacing the inlet valve responsible for admitting water, or investigate for potential blockages. If neither is the issue, verify that there are no problems with the water supply to your machine.

Flow Meter Issue: This code may indicate an actual problem with your flow meter, but it could also be attributed to the same issues that cause the F6 error.

Water Level: Excess water has been detected, potentially due to a blocked filter, a malfunctioning water inlet, an excessive amount of laundry detergent in a single load, or a defective spray pump.

Continuous Water Inlet: This issue arises from either a defective inlet valve that fails to close or a short circuit in the main control board. Replacing the control board or valve may be necessary to resolve the problem.

Sensor Malfunction: This code indicates a defective sensor within the dishwasher.

Optical Water Indicator Issue: This error points to a problem with the sensor responsible for monitoring water cleanliness in your machine. If the washer detects dirty water, it may initiate a rinse cycle. This code may also be displayed if dirt has obstructed the sensor.

Motorized Diverter Valve: The diverter valve manages the water flow to the upper dishwasher spray arm. If it is malfunctioning, it should be inspected and potentially replaced.

Water Hardness Sensor: These sensors monitor the hardness of water in your area and signal when the addition of dishwasher salt is necessary to counteract hard water.

Cycle Cancelled or Paused: To resolve this issue, press the pause/cancel button twice and the power button once. If the problem persists, disconnect the washer by unplugging it and wait for one minute before plugging it back in.

Control Lock Activated: Depending on the model, you can either press the control lock button or hold it down for a few seconds to disengage the control lock.

Items Detected in Tub During Clean Washer Cycle: Examine the washer drum for any items, remove them, and restart the Clean Washer Cycle.

Detergent Cartridge Not Recognized: This message is specific to washers equipped with detergent cartridges. If you encounter this error, ensure the cartridge is properly inserted.

Excessive Suds Detected: This alert will display if there are too many suds in the drum. The washer will automatically halt draining and proceed to add water and rinse cycles to eliminate the excess suds.

Door Not Securely Locked: Verify that the door is securely closed.

Motor Speed-Sensing Issue: This signals that the motor is not reaching the required speed for the cycle.

Low Water Flow Detected: Ensure both water faucets are fully open and inspect hoses for any kinks or blockages.

Extended Drain Time Detected: If the drain time surpasses 8 minutes, this code will be displayed. Inspect the drainpipe for any clogs. This issue may also arise with an excess of suds in the drum.
