Whirlpool WDF760SADM Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your 
dishwasher without the filters properly installed. Be sure the Lower 
Filter is securely in place and the Upper Filter Assembly is locked 
into place. If the Upper Filter Assembly turns freely, it is not locked 
into place.

Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and 
mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a 
stainless steel cleaner is recommended - Stainless Steel Cleaner 
and Polish Part Number 31464.

Clean the interior of the dishwasher, with a paste of powdered 
dishwasher detergent and water or use liquid dishwasher detergent 
on a damp sponge to clean the cooled-down interior. 

A white vinegar rinse may remove white spots and film. Vinegar is 
an acid, and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.

Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe 
measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a 
complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry 
option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.

Dishwasher Maintenance Procedure
Removal of Hard Water / Filming: Recommended use of a 
monthly maintenance product such as affresh

 Dishwasher 

Cleaner Part Number W10282479. 

■

Load your dishwasher (preferably with dishes affected by 
filming/hard water).

■

Place tablet in main wash compartment of detergent dispenser.

■

Select cycle/option best for heavily soiled dishes and start 
dishwasher.

NOTE: It is recommended to use a premeasured detergent tablet 
or pack for regular daily use.

■

When you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer 
months, turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher.

■

Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing 
conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase 
water pressure and cause damage to your dishwasher or 
home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.

■

When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water 
damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized 
service personnel.

1. Noting the previous 

illustrations, place the 
Lower Filter under the 
Locating Tabs in the 
bottom of the dishwasher 
so the round opening for 
the Upper Filter Assembly 
lines up with the round 
opening in the bottom of 
the tub.

2. Insert the Upper Filter 

Assembly into the circular 
opening in the Lower Filter.

3. Slowly rotate the filter clockwise until it drops into place. 

Continue to rotate until the filter is locked into place. If the 
filter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn 
the filter clockwise until it drops and locks into place. 

NOTE: The Upper Filter Assembly arrow does not have to 
align with the arrow in the Lower Filter as long as the filter is 
locked.

well.
