Short answer
The Whirlpool dishwasher faults we see most are standing water (drain pump or check valve), dishes that come out dirty (spray arms, wash pump, filter or chopper), dishes that stay wet or cold, leaks at the door or pump seal, blinking-light fault codes and door-latch failures. Each fault is diagnosed in your kitchen, anywhere in Ottawa or Gatineau, and you approve a written quote before any work begins.

02Symptoms
Whirlpool dishwasher faults we see most
- Not draining: a clogged filter, a failed drain pump or a check valve stuck shut leaves water in the tub. See dishwasher not draining.
- Not cleaning: spray arms clogged with debris, a weak wash pump, or a clogged filter or chopper assembly.
- Not drying or not heating: the heating element, the high-limit thermostat, the temperature sensor or empty rinse aid (dishwasher not drying).
- Leaks: a hardened door gasket, a worn pump seal or a loose hose connection underneath.
- Blinking lights: the Clean or Start light flashing in a pattern reports a stored fault; we read the pattern and test the circuit it points to.
- Door latch: a worn latch or switch means the cycle won’t start.
03Filters and models
Chopper models, filter models and the Whirlpool platform
Older Whirlpool and Whirlpool Gold dishwashers (many with GU or DU model prefixes) grind food with a built-in chopper, or hard-food disposer, which can jam or wear. Newer front-control (WDF) and top-control (WDT) models use a removable filter that needs regular rinsing; a clogged filter is one of the most common causes of poor cleaning and slow draining on these machines.
Whirlpool, KitchenAid and Maytag dishwashers share many parts, which keeps repairs affordable. See also KitchenAid dishwasher repair.
