Whirlpool GU1500XTKQ0 Troubleshooting
The Whirlpool GU1500XTKQ0 is an automatic dishwasher. While automatic dishwashers save time and energy, they can also develop minor problems that can easily be fixed by the owner of the machine. These problems range from the dishwasher not filling or draining to leaving spots on the dishes. If troubleshooting the dishwasher does not solve the problem, call an authorized repairman and have him come and fix the dishwasher. Does this Spark an idea?

Operation Problems
-
1
Check that the door is fully closed and latched and that a cycle has been selected. The dishwasher will not run if the door is not fully closed or a cycle has not been selected.
-
2
Check that the dishwasher is connected to a power outlet and that the circuit breaker has not been tripped.
-
-
3
Check that the overfill protection float can move freely. If it cannot, the dishwasher may not fill properly.
-
4
Check the temperature of the hot water that is supplying the dishwasher. If the dishwasher has to heat up the water before it uses it, the cycle will run longer than if the water is hot.
Cleaning Problems
-
5
Check that the dishwasher was loaded correctly if the dishes are not clean at the end of the cycle.
-
6
Check that the detergent has not clumped together in the dispenser and that you are using detergent designed for dishwashers.
-
7
Determine if your water is hard or has a high mineral content. These types of water can cause film or spotting on dishes. Use a liquid rinse aid to reduce the appearance of spots or film.
Other Problems
-
8
Use a heated dry setting or a rinse aid to assist in the drying process if your dishes are not dry at the end of the cycle. Plastic dishes often will not dry completely in a dishwasher and require hand drying.
-
9
Check that the dishwasher was loaded correctly if your dishes are not dry or they have become chipped during the cycle. If the dishes are too close together, they will inhibit drying and may vibrate against each other, causing chipping or cracking.
-
10
Check the label on new dishes for compatibility with a dishwasher. Some light plastics and delicate dishes cannot handle an automatic dishwashing cycle and must be hand washed. If you have dishes that are old or thin glass or porcelain, do not place them in the dishwasher as they may break.
