Whirlpool dishwasher error codes

Whirlpool

If your Whirlpool dishwasher stops working, you can use the error codes list below to find out the cause and the solution. The error codes tell you what function and problem the dishwasher has. You can see the error codes on the control panel if your model has a digital display.

If your model doesn't have a digital display, the Clean light will flash in a pattern to show the error codes. The light flashes the function code first, then pauses for 2 seconds, and then flashes the problem code. For example, if the light flashes 6 times and then 1 time (6-1), it means the function is "Inlet Water" and the problem is "The electronic control doesn't detect water entering the dishwasher tub". The light will repeat the pattern after a 5-second pause. You can't use the control console when the error codes are flashing.

 

Whirlpool dishwasher error codes list

Condition: Stuck relay on the electronic control board

Check/Repair: Shut off power to the dishwasher for 5 minutes. If the code resumes when you restore power, check the wiring connected to the control board for damage and repair any broken wires. Measure the resistance
through all components connected to the control board using the tech sheet as a guide. You can find the tech sheet behind the bottom front toe panel of the dishwasher. Replace any defective components. If the
wiring and components are okay, replace the electronic control board.

 

Condition: Damaged or corrupted memory on control board. Incompatible software components inside
microprocessor.


Check/Repair
Shut off power to the dishwasher for 5 minutes. If the code resumes when you restore power, replace the
electronic control board.

 

Condition:  Communication error between the electronic control board and the circulation pump motor
Check/Repair:
Unplug the dishwasher to disconnect electrical power. Check the circulation pump wire harness and reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wiring connections are okay,
replace the circulation pump and motor assembly. If the problem continues, replace the electronic control board.

 

Condition: Control detects door not opening
Check/Repair:
The electronic control board expects to see the door open between cycles or the dishwasher won't start the
next time you try to start a new cycle. If you didn't open the door between cycles, cancel the cycle. Open
and shut the door, and then start a new cycle. If the cycle still won't start, then the door switch could be
defective. Unplug the dishwasher, then plug it back in to simulate the door opening. If the cycle starts,
replace the door latch assembly because the door switch isn't detecting the door opening.
