OMG, this actually fixed my dishwasher! It is 4 years old and recently stopped washing the dishes in hot water and not heating to dry no matter the cycle set. We got a repairman in that costed $120 and he said all parts tested fine and would probably need to change the control panel but would cost $280 + labour and take 12 weeks to ship! It was unplugged and breaker reset but I guess he didn't try this 1-2-3 sequence reset!! We were almost going to buy a new dishwasher! Thanks for saving our Christmas! I'm going to subscribe!
Dude, I changed the door latch (it was loose; i had to lean on the door to start a cycle) and the control switch assembly. Still couldn't select cycles other than long, with sanitized rinse and heated dry. Nice, but not always what you want. I was JUST ABOUT to order a control board for $169. This reset did the trick. Thanks a million! Thumbs up and Subscribed!
This is the best informational video ever!! Everytime I look something like this up the person thats doing the video makes it super complicated and hard to follow! This guy, AWESOME step by step information!!
You just saved me hundreds of dollars. Our pump had to be replaced and afterward the heat in my dishwasher didn’t work. I thought we would have to have someone come replace the heating element or maybe even the electrical. Tried resetting using this method and it works perfectly! THANK YOU!
Same! We had the pump replaced followed by a cold dishwasher full of suds and no heated drying. I just tried this and am re running a cycle of dishes full of soap. Fingers crossed!!!
Great video I have a new kitchen aid and stopped working The rest code is the same of what you said. But when all the lights are on just close the door and it will do a full cycle and reset Thank you you saved me time and money.
You are the MVP!!!!! Thank you soooo much!!!! Couldnt find my warranty info and just didnt want to have to go through all their crap!!! You are a blessing!!!!!
Tried your reset, it worked! Had to chuckle reading all the comments :) I feel the same way though and really love it when those in-the-know post stuff like this! Couldn't find anything in the "user manual" about that red light indication. Glad you mentioned that in your short to-the-point video as it confirmed I had the same symptom. THANX!!
Omg thank you brother you just saved me big time from heading to Lowe's. My whirlpool is a good series with less buttons. I tried the vinegar cleaning method not enough water coming in did your code on the cycle buttons like you said it went through its little dance for about ten minutes then i did a quick wash with heart dry and WA-La just like new! Thank you so much brother and God bless 🙏!!
Props man. It worked. We had new heating element installed but didn’t heat up. I watched this video and did what the man said, except I didn’t get a long beep and had to hit cancel twice to turn off. But TADA~~~ now heating element works and steaming. Thank you man!!!
Thanks, this worked to stop my dishwasher from overflowing. Valve and float were working, but would overflow after the first rinse cycle. Works fine now. I don't think I'll ever start it and leave the house, I just don't trust it anymore!!
Thanks brother you saved me a lot of headaches lol! I have the same exact dishwasher. I literally removed the pump, cleaned the connectors with mass airflow sensor cleaner, put it all back together and it still wouldn't work lol! I RUclipsd my issue and your video popped! Thanks again brother I gave ya a thumbs up and I subscribed lol ✌️
Thank you so much sir. I have been trying to figure out how to get the control button to turn off, I'ved done unplugged it and it did not work so I have googled many times but nothing worked then your video popped up and it was a miracle it worked and now my dishes it working. Thank you for your video. Have a blessed fourth of July. May God bless you abundantly.
CEDRIC.....you are amazing!!!!! I called whirlpool 3 times and none of the 3 trouble shooters knew WTF they were doing. Could not tell be how to reset this....IF you are ever in Vegas I will buy you dinner!!! TY JESUS...I was just getting ready to call a service tech....I am VERY THANKFULL. I was 2 hours on the web trying to figure out WTF was the issue.... this thing would look like it was going to start then (THE DAME RED LIGHT ON THE DOOR COMES ON AND THE SHUTS THE THING OFF) everyone was saying unplug it for a few minutes....didn't work....your video I found was EXACTLY IT, NAILED IT!!.
Broooooo......honestly my favorite video on yt at the moment. This is the 2nd time your video has prevented me from totally losing it. BRB, gotta go put my daily contribution into the karma jar and try and do some good for someone somewhere. Thank you, again.
Thank you so much!!! I was so frustrated, out of the blue, the control panel was completely unresponsive! Your expert advice worked within seconds! The dishwasher is now washing my dishes!!!❤❤❤ Well, the dishwasher became unresponsive again...And your fix worked beautifully!!! I can't thank you enough!!! ❤❤🥰❤❤
Thank you!!! Mine looks like it’s working normally but doesn’t fill up with water. Is there a diagnostic procedure and does it have a self check with fault codes?
Cedric, thank you for your help on the whirlpool dishwasher, good job. My problem is that I reset it just like you showed and it worked, but when I go to run it and push the start button it looks good like it’s gonna run then the start button starts to blink and the “Add Dish” and “Washing” lights on the display also start blinking along with the blue light on the face of the unit. I know how if you open the door in the middle of it’s task that the start button will blink because the door was opened and you have to push the start button again and it will continue to run its cycle but this isn’t happening. Any ideas or suggestions as to what might be wrong. I appreciate your help if you can. Thank you Sir.
Just moved to this house and not familiar with this dishwasher. What is the best setting to wash and dry a normal load of dishes and about how long will take?
Thanks ! google would not provide this simple fix that fixed mine a few months ago. now random lights (same dishwasher as this video) are intermittently coming on while all buttons are unresponsive. if you close the door it wants to run as well. I'm thinking the button panel is bad (there's a crack on the far right).
Good morning, just purchased Whirlpool WDTA50SAKZ2 last month. Electric bill went up $50. because of the 4 hour wash on normal. IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN REDUCE THAT TIME ON NORMAL WASH?? Thank you!!
I have now found this on a couple more sites -- apparently you can use any three buttons that are in a row. Mine were "Sani Rinse", "Heat Dry" and "Hi Temp Wash".
Hello, my question to you sir is- the soap dispenser appear to work (open and close) with any problems. I run the wash cycle and dishes will not get clean and soap has leaked and pooled to the bottom of the dishwasher. Also, on the board the “add soap” light comes on…any thoughts to this? Thank you.
I reset using the sequence. It reset. It adds water then keeps draining it. Blue light is on. Red never comes on like usual when it runs through the cycle. Any thoughts? Thanks Brian
I have a different model where buttons are on the front. My dishwasher was not pumping the water out and it left the dirty water at the bottom and also dishes weren’t clean. I used the same steps and it took couple of mins of humming voice. Voila, it pumped the water and dishwasher is back to normal. That you for the tip.
I have the same washer, however, the “clean” light along with the light on the right upper corner of the face of the washer continuously blink and as a result I can’t perform any cycles. I have tired resetting the power, holding the lock button 3secs, and it won’t work. Any Thoughts?
I have a slightly different model, same buttons but in the front of the door rather than the top. My dishwasher fills and drains, but doesn't wash..well, sometimes it washes but never rinses. Any help would be appreciated. It seems to be sick with the electronics but the reset doesn't fix it.
Hey, Cedric...thanks for the video. I moved into an apartment that has an older model than the one you are showing and I can't get past the flashing "hold 3 sec" lock indicator. I tried the reset you demonstrated but no luck. Might you have time to chat with me about how to get this machine to run, please? Thanks for considering my request, Laura

Maaan looks like you just fixed my problem lol, my unit got stock with a Knife and didn't want to work after that thanks.🎉
Great video
I have a new kitchen aid and stopped working
The rest code is the same of what you said.
But when all the lights are on just close the door and it will do a full cycle and reset
Thank you you saved me time and money.
I also have kitchenaid. I can get the lights to light up but it won’t run after that. It starts blinking the clean light again like before.
You are the MVP!!!!! Thank you soooo much!!!!
Couldnt find my warranty info and just didnt want to have to go through all their crap!!! You are a blessing!!!!!

Finally, after installing a new relay for the floater, new thermostat, new heating element and new motor, the reset was the issue.
THANK YOU!!
You saved me a huge repair and a good chunk of money. Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to record this and then sharing for those of us who are baffled by weird dishwasher glitches.
Omg thank you brother you just saved me big time from heading to Lowe's. My whirlpool is a good series with less buttons.

Thank you! I have gone a month with no dishwasher and decided to look it up. Your a lifesaver.
After it did what you said it still doesn't work 😊
My lock button kept blinking tied to do this but it won’t work.
Props man. It worked. We had new heating element installed but didn’t heat up. I watched this video and did what the man said, except I didn’t get a long beep and had to hit cancel twice to turn off. But TADA~~~ now heating element works and steaming. Thank you man!!!
Big Tony... You are THE MAN! Thanks amigo for the cheat code. Saved me from replacing this dang thing. I appreciate it!
Thank you! Did this for my mom this morning, after watching your video, and it worked! Thank you, thank you!

Just saw your comment. Mine is overflowing onto the floor, too.. I just reset it. Hopefully, this will work for me, waiting to dirty more dishes...lol

@@CedCrout Will this work with the problem of dishes not getting clean? I think it’s b/c the washer isn’t completing the cycle or something?

@@CedCrout my whirlpool doesn't have the Sensor button.
How long the process take? It was doing stuff for like 20 min and I canceled it.

IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN REDUCE THAT TIME ON NORMAL WASH?? Thank you!!

Many thanks for helpful info!
Wonder if this will also work when you are getting the E1/F9 error
Double thanks sheesh l had no book, not even the same model and bang it unlocked it...thank you WOW
what names are on those 3 buttons, my unit is a little different
I have now found this on a couple more sites -- apparently you can use any three buttons that are in a row. Mine were "Sani Rinse", "Heat Dry" and "Hi Temp Wash".
