Dishwasher whirlpool quiet partner I push start button nothing happens

Wil, try to reset your dishwasher. To reset it, you will have to have the door open. It can not be latched. Press "Heated Dry," "Normal," "Heated Dry," "Normal" within three seconds of the first pressed button. Now close the door, this should reset your dishwasher. Hope this helps, good luck.

On some newer models, you can push any 3 buttons in the following sequence: 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3, with no more than a second between each button push. That will put the dishwasher in diagnostic mode. This is the case for our Whirlpool dishwasher bought in late 2014, which doesn't have dedicated 'heat dry' and 'normal' buttons. Rather, it has fewer buttons, each of which can be toggled through several states which include 'heat dry' and 'normal'. So the traditional method of pushing just those 2 buttons in sequence repeatedly didn't work for me. I only learned this new method by pulling off the plastic panel next to the floor, and finding instructions for repair technicians stored there in a plastic bag. It might be worth looking for such instructions stored under your model.

"The only way to RESET any appliance is to remove it from the power source. Unplug or trip the breaker for at least 30 seconds then plug back in .

The 1-2-3 method is a diagnostics tool, not a reset. The first 2 tests will flash E-? F-? Those are errors that have happened and will be displayed once then deleted. This Diagnostics mode tests all circuits, components, sensors etc. .The results of each test are displayed with lights in a certain sequence on the display. Not all models have the same sequence or display. Unless you have the diagnostics mode info, this test is useless.

Some posts I read said the ""1-2-3 ""worked. They might have had an error code displayed and in diagnostics mode the code was cleared. Some errors will clearand appliance will work, until the error happens again.

If lights are flashing and it won't start- determine what the error is then clear the error."

The reset works fine but if you don't clean out the cutter area, the dishwasher will not work properly and you'll be right back where you started. Check You Tube ("what to do when the dishwasher won't clean") to learn how to clean out the sump assembly, the cutter screen and chopper arm area and then do a reset. Usually, the junk in the bottom of the dishwasher is what caused the dishwasher to not work properly so just resetting it won't resolve the problem.

Awesome, had the newer version I guess, pressed 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 method, let it set. At first all lights lit up then thinking 3 were on, told wife not to mess with it to just leave it alone but she never listens so she opened it was complaining that soap dispenser opened but it didnt wash anything, it was just 20 minutes or so, what did you expect. Anyway I think she either set time to wash or did nothing but close it, in any event when I checked it it was washing . Thank you for everything, think it stiLL may need push button control pad but it seems like it's working. Will get back on if it still has any issues

After reset, seems to be washing, but only lasted about 10 minutes. Totally did not do dry cycle. I usually wash on light load, and after pushing >heated dry>normal>heated dry>normal, closed door, and started on normal cycle. Did reset again, and waiting, and started on normal this time too.
