Just moved into a remodeled home and this is the model of dishwasher. I did one load and I felt like it took forever. Thank you for showing us this manual because I did not get one. And after reading this and seeing this video I’m not in a hurry to replace it now.
Great! Thank you for showing the heat dry/high temp option selector. It's clear now that the 'high temp' light is burned out on my washer but likely still works if I hit the selector 3x. Thanks again!
Thank you for this video, I just got this dishwasher so was not sure how to use it. I did not know you could select certain things on the buttons. I really appreciate this.
Thank you for reading from the manual. That really helped me make a better decision on the cycle mode to use.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Now I know how to turn off the Heat Dry and High Temp when washing plastic things.
very useful video👌i used to think my dishwasher does not work properly as it feels it runs foreever
Glad this helped! I always used the 1 he because the others seemed to last forever
Thanks so much for this informative information. I just purchased my home and unsure about which option to select😮
Glad it was helpful!
I never recieved a quick guide can you tell me what shows when it's done drying as when it shows clean I figure it's done with it all but they are still wet. I have this same model as you have. Thanks, Angela
Hi Kathy M, I just had the same model dishwasher installed in my apartment but I didn't get a User Manual. I've tried twice to use the 4hr delay start (to save energy by washing in the middle of the night) and the dishwasher didn't start, either time. Could you please do a segment explaining how to properly use the delay start button? Thank you so much. P.S. I cannot locate the User Manual online for the model I have.
Thanks . Question, ok if you don’t know. I lost several cycle options, reset power now everything except the 1 hour wash will take. Have you seen this issue before.
I have the exact same dishwasher you have. We started our dishwasher, but no water was coming out and the dishwasher Detergent never dissolved.
I have same dishwasher. Do you see the clean just to the right of the button? I've cleaned this thing out several times and it still doesn't clean my dishes. Wondering what else I can do before buying a new one
The reason these new dishwashers run so long, is due to a mandatory energy standard that was set and for instance Whirlpool and other brands like GE have to meet those requirements, which means less fills and more time with the amount of fills the dishwasher is set to have. And always remember that these machines will pre rinse for you, so don’t totally clean the dishes beforehand. And if you have a lot of soiled dishes, use pre wash as well as main. I have an older Whirlpool and 2009 Maytag, and they are some beasts when it comes to nasty dishes, my Whirlpool branded one (as they own Maytag) was the first energy star model from the corporation & the cycles are quick, normal is an hour tops and heavy is an extra half hour tops, the pots and pans is about two hours. These new machines will run for several hours because they are restricted on the amount of fills that they are allowed to have, and they still meet optimal results. And always clean your filters at the bottom if you don’t have a built in food chopper!!! This model in the video has a manual filter that needs cleaning here and there or you’ll start receiving poor cleaning results.
I got this same model a month ago and didn't get a user's manual. Your video was super helpful. I've only been using normal cycle so far. Will try the 1 hr next time.
I am glad it helped !
Does yours cycle on & off during the wash? Like it will stop for a few seconds & then continue, then stop for a few seconds & then continue on? I've only tried normal so far.
@@Mandy_39that's just soaking time
Helpful! Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Is there a way to have the normal setting defaulted or do you need to select each time. For 2 years we been doing 1 hr with heat dry. Want to try normal no heat.. when going to start a new cycle it defaults to 1 hr with heat dry and then need to pick normal no heat.
How do you use start the self clean mode on the dishwasher? The light that is on, in the beginning of this video.
Thank you for video, is there any option to just use the drying function? Also can you pls tell model no of this appliance
That's what I'm looking for. I can't find it on my new dishwasher.
This is good
This is good information if you don’t have the guide!
Just purchased this dishwasher. I will use the normal cycle with no heat.
Thanks for the great video. I just got this dishwasher last week. I have a question. Are you only allowed to use detergent pods? I have many boxes of detergent from my old dishwasher, but no pods. If you use powder, will it dissolve?
I agree
It would of been nice if u took a couple extra minutes to explain the heat dry and high temp combos
Thanks for this informative video It definitely is needed. I thought something was wrong with mine taking 2 hours to wash dishes. Now I know it's normal to take so long. I really don't get why dishwasher manufacturers build them to take so long. It's the same with today's Washing Machines. Really long cycles.
It’s because they allow for soak time, to give time for the chemicals to do their work.
I can wash AND dry 2 dishwasher loads by hand in less than an hour. Really disappointed in my new whirlpool dishwasher taking about 3 hours for a small load. Seems almost pointless! 🤦♂️
@@fordgt8847except you now have an extra hour of life...
My heavy cycle and heat dry won’t come on.☹️
Is there a way you can use only the HEAT DRY cycle to dry off dishes?
No, unless it’s an older model that has a mechanical timer dial, in which you’d just turn to the dry cycle.
Mine stopped using its rinse aid, do you know why?
How do you take the Sani rinse off
Which settings are best for drying? I am finding the dishes are so wet after!!
This dishwasher sucks for drying them 100%
Use rinse aid
I gave this same dishwasher and I can’t get it to turn on- start
Did you print out your user’s guide? How do I find it? I have same model. Thanks for your videos.
I got it when I bought my house but anytime I’ve bought before I never get one! Figured people might also be missing it!
I just got a used 1 & it was on the bottom of it. No idea if it came like that or the previous user put it there.
How do you get rid of the 4 hour delay
That is what I want to find video!
Glad this video helped!
Hello, I have the same dishwasher but when I put the rinse aid, it doesn’t work. The dishwasher will was the dishes but the rinse aid remains. Is there something I can do?
The rinse aid lasts a long time, it won't go down for several washes.
@@KathyMLifestyle thank you very much. I was wondering why it never went away. Thank you for responding
So how do you dry dishes!!!? Can’t figure it out it keeps starting to wash
You can't only dry them.
@@KathyMLifestyle lame! I had a diff brand that had a button for just drying if they weren’t all the way dried. This brand sucks. I have it set to dry and high Heat and they are still wet and so is the washer . So what we are just supposed to towel dry the washer each time to? It smells if you just leave it closed with water and will start to mold and letting it air dry will take forever 🙄
Maybe is a dumb question but, the dishes came out dry? Because mine are still wet at the end of the cycle 🙁
no, the dishes are wet. I can't stand this dishwasher.
I have the same issue. First couple times, they came out relatively dry. Now all the dishes are wet. I don't even fill it up with dishes.
Have you ever wondered if you were using the right dishwasher cycle settings on your whirlpool dishwasher? Today I am sharing with you when to use each setting and which is the optimal setting to use! Let me know if you have other dishwasher questions 😁
Maybe is a dumb question but, the dishes came out dry? Because mine are still wet at the end of the cycle 🙁
Do you have a video using it?
May i ask what happened to your GE dishwasher?
@@Ratatatata6809 I moved since my first GE video. I also film videos at the homes of my family members so I capture different brands. I currently have a whirlpool I don’t like 😂
@@KathyMLifestyle Oh! I was wondering if your GE broke. I have a GE i just got about a month ago. So far so clean! I used to have a whirlpool gold series from 2012 or 2011, it cleaned okay but the silverware came out dirty sometimes. I know someone who has a dishwasher just like yours. But the buttons are shaped differently. But they look the same on the inside. I would tell you the model number of mine. But im on vacation Right now.
Does your clean light ever come on? I’ve done the normal and 1 hour cycles and while they are clean and relatively dry, the clean light never actually lights up on mine.
Yes it does when it’s dine
@@KathyMLifestyle thanks for replying! I’m guessing maybe I’m not waiting long enough possibly
It might still be “heat drying”. My heat fry sucks but if I open it early it doesn’t come ine
@@KathyMLifestyle that makes a lot of sense because I get steam released when I open the door
@@KathyMLifestyle wait, so the clean light, isn’t a self cleaning button?? It just telling me that my dishes are CLEAN??!!
I got this washer with the house and have tried each setting and it doesn't seem to work. The detergent pod just pops out and nothing is ever clean. Do you have a video on how to maybe start the dishwasher, (and yes I have to switch it on when using the dishwasher.)
I don’t have one but can add it to my list to film 🎥
Mine is doing the same right now!?
Did you find a solution?
@@berthajackson6440 damn girl
@@jewlenskyy5993 can I help you
I'd like to hear it run.
Great idea 💡
@@KathyMLifestyle What's the model number?
WDF331PAHS 1
How do you reset it???
My motherboard is broken
my disher washer will not stop washing for a 4 hour cycle worse washer I ever bought it's for sale because I will never buy one of these again
Yeah this is not my favorite dishwasher but it came with my house
Do not ever buy a whirlpool, they are JUNK!
Agree. It came with my home. I liked my GE better from my last house.
Well i just moved in into a brand new apt and this is the exact model at this unit. Ugh!
Could you help me figure how to run it.
It turns on, it keeps humming and then it stops, repeat. I call the apt office and they said thT it needs to habe the water activate or turned on. She said let me send u maintenance, waited all day and no one showed up.
