Does your Whirlpool dishwasher need to be reset?
Then you’re in the right place.
In this guide, we will give you easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions for how to reset your dishwasher so that you can start using it again.
Before we get into how to reset your dishwasher, let’s start by explaining why you need to do it.
Sometimes, the control board which manages all of the dishwasher functions can become faulty—especially if you experience a power surge or outage. When this happens, it can result in your dishwasher not being able to run through a cycle properly, so your dishes come out dirty or the dishwasher doesn’t run at all.
The good news is most of the time this can be solved by doing a simple reset. Simply follow our steps below.

You can do that by simply turning your dishwasher off at the power source or turning the circuit breaker off, waiting a few minutes, and then turning it back on again.
Sometimes this simple fix will reset your Whirlpool dishwasher and you can start using it again. If it doesn’t work, then move on to step 2.
