Check Operation; Additional Tips; If Dishwasher Does Not Operate - Whirlpool GU2800XTV Manual

Check Operation

• Read the Dishwasher User Instructions
that came with your dishwasher.
• Check that all parts have been installed and
no steps were skipped. Check that you have
all tools used.
• Start dishwasher and allow it to complete the
shortest wash cycle. After the first 2 minutes
unlatch door, wait 5 seconds, then open door.
Check to see that there is water in the bottom
of the dishwasher tub. Check that dishwasher is
working properly.
If not, disconnect power or unplug dishwasher and
see "If Dishwasher Does Not Operate" section.

If Dishwasher Does Not Operate

First try the solutions suggested here to possibly
avoid the cost of a service call.
• Has the circuit breaker tripped or the house
fuse blown?
• Is the door closed tightly and latched?
• Has the cycle been set correctly to start the
dishwasher?
• Is the water turned on?
If none of these work, call 1-800-253-1301, or in
Canada, call 1-800-807-6777.
For Roper models, call 1-800-447-6737, or in Canada

Additional Tips

Expect longer wash times. Your new dishwasher
will average 2-3 hours per load, but use nearly
40% less energy than older models. Designed
with a low wattage, low energy consumption mo-
tor, your dishwasher washes longer to ensure ex-
ceptional cleaning. Certain models are equipped
with an optical water sensor so the first cycle will
run longer to calibrate to optical sensor. Selecting
certain options could increase cycle time past 3.5
hours.
Rinse Aid is necessary for good drying results:
This dishwasher is designed to be used with rinse
aid for good drying performance and controlling
hard water deposit build-up. Energy efficient dish-
washers use less water and energy so they de-
pend on the water sheeting action of rinse aid for
good drying performance.
Start/Resume light may flash:
When pressing Start/Resume, you must make
sure the door is closed within 3 seconds. If you
do not, the Start/Resume light will flash until you
press it again. (You must also do this when adding
a dish during the middle of a cycle.)
