Whirlpool WFC3C26 user manual

To reset the control board on your Whirlpool dishwasher, you can follow these steps:
1. Turn off the dishwasher by pressing the "Cancel" button or by flipping the circuit breaker that supplies power to the dishwasher.
. Leave the dishwasher off for a few minutes to allow the control board to reset.
3. After a few minutes, turn the dishwasher back on by pressing the "Power" button or by flipping the circuit breaker back on.
4. Once the dishwasher is powered on, select the desired wash cycle and options as usual.
5. Start a new cycle and check if the control board has been successfully reset.
If the control board continues to malfunction or display error codes after resetting, it may require further troubleshooting or professional assistance.

There could be several reasons why your Whirlpool dishwasher is not starting:
1. Power supply issue: Check if the dishwasher is properly plugged in and if there is power going to the outlet. Make sure the circuit breaker or fuse for the dishwasher is not tripped or blown.
2. Door latch problem: If the door is not closing properly or if the door latch is defective, the dishwasher may not start. Ensure that the door is fully closed and latched securely.
3. Control panel malfunction: If the control panel is not functioning correctly, it may prevent the dishwasher from starting. Try resetting the control panel by turning off the power to the dishwasher for a few minutes, and then turning it back on.
4. Start button or control board issue: If the start button on the control panel is not working or if the control board is faulty, the dishwasher may not initiate a cycle. Consider checking the start button for any damage or test the control board with a multimeter to determine if it needs to be replaced.
5. Faulty door switch: The dishwasher has a door switch that signals whether the door is open or closed. If the switch is faulty, it may not register that the door is closed, and therefore, prevent the dishwasher from starting. Inspect the door switch for any defects or test it with a multimeter.
If troubleshooting these common issues does not resolve the problem, it may be necessary to contact a professional technician or Whirlpool customer service for further assistance.

One of the most common problems with a Whirlpool dishwasher is the dishwasher not starting or not powering on. This could be due to various reasons such as a faulty door latch, a malfunctioning control panel, a blown fuse, or a problem with the power supply. Other common problems include dishes not getting cleaned properly, loud or strange noises during operation, leaks, and issues with the dishwasher not draining properly.

There could be several reasons why your Whirlpool WFC3C26 dishwasher turns on but doesn't start. Some potential causes and troubleshooting steps to try include:
1. Door latch issue: Ensure that the dishwasher door is securely closed and latched properly. If the door isn't closing or latching properly, the dishwasher may not start.
2. Power supply problem: Make sure the dishwasher is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet. Check the power cord for any signs of damage.
3. Control panel lock: Some dishwashers have a control lock feature that can be enabled or disabled. Check if the control panel is locked and try unlocking it according to the user manual's instructions.
4. Delay start set: Check if a delay start option is selected accidentally. If so, cancel the delay start and try initiating an immediate wash cycle.
5. Faulty control board: The control board may have a malfunction that prevents it from initiating the start cycle. In this case, it's advisable to contact Whirlpool customer support or a professional technician for assistance.
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, it is recommended to consult the dishwasher's user manual or contact Whirlpool customer support for further guidance or to schedule a service appointment.
