Whirlpool WDF760SADM Owner's Manual

■

Is the dishwasher loaded correctly? 

Check and clean your filters regularly. See the table in 
“Filtration System” section for “Recommended Time Interval to 
Clean Your Filter.”

Did you choose the cycle that describes the most difficult soil in 
your dishwasher? If you have some items with heavier soils, 
use a heavier cycle.

Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing results, 
water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. 

Did you use the correct amount of fresh detergent? Use 
recommended dishwasher detergents only. Do not use less 
than 1 tbs (15 g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be 
effective. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra 
detergent.

Is detergent caked in dispenser? Use fresh detergent only. Do 
not allow detergent to sit for several hours in a wet dispenser. 
Clean dispenser when caked detergent is present.

Is the pump or spray arm clogged by labels from bottles and 
cans? 

Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher 
filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to 
828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. If you have questions about 
your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Are high suds slowing the wash arm? Do not use soap or 
laundry detergents. Use recommended dishwasher detergents 
only.

■

Are the dishes loaded to face the TARGETCLEAN™ spray jets? 
Load soiled dish surfaces to face the back of the dishwasher 
toward the TARGETCLEAN™ spray jets. Tilt the dishes toward 
the back so water can drain from surfaces, and the lower spray 
arm can wash the item from below.

NOTE: Loaded items may shift when dish racks are pushed 
into the dishwasher. Make sure dishes do not interfere with the 
spray arms, water feed tube, or TARGETCLEAN™ spray jets.

Are items loaded so they do not overlap? Load items only one 
row deep without any overlap so that the TARGETCLEAN™ 
spray jets can reach all surfaces.

■

Did you load the dishwasher properly? Load the dishes and 
glasses so they are stable and do not strike together from 
washing action. Minimize chipping by moving the rack in and 
out slowly. 

NOTE: Antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar types of 
china and glassware might be too delicate for automatic 
dishwashing. Wash by hand.
