Cycle buttons work, option buttons dont, Cant deselect heated dry, Wont start
The part is covered by warranty. However, the labor is not and Whirlpool will not replace the part without having someone service the unit. Every place I checked wanted $100 just to come out and tell me what was wrong. Any service would be extra. Seems like Whirlpool figured out how not to stand behind its products. They should be held accountable.
Our GU2500 ACCUSENSE light keeps
Hi.
The Accusense light flashing is an error code pointing at a defective touch pad.
Try performing a diagnostic cycle to reset the appliance. If that does not work the touch-pad must be replaced.
To perform the Diagnostic & Reset cycle:
To start press the keys combination below in less than 6 seconds
Heated dry, Normal,
Heated dry, Normal
Heated dry, Normal
To advance the diagnostic cycle step-by-step press the Start key.
When cycle is complete the machine will reset. If the cycle does not start because controls do not work or if Accusense light comes back on, that means that you have a defective touch-pad. In that case check touch pad to control module connector or replace the touch-pad. Use the phone number listed in the owners manual if you want to contact a technician.

Rinse aid dispenser seems to
Hello
& Welcome to FixYa
You
can put vinegar inside the rinse aid dispenser and then run it empty at its
hottest cycle, after this if the problem is still there then you have to remove
it completely to clean it. Please get back to me if you have any other
questions.

The dishwasher will not run. The Clean light
Hi
If clean light
is blinking 7 times then it may be an issue with heater circuit, door switch or
wash pump. If yes then please reset the power to the dishwasher. After, 5
minutes check if you are still getting the same error. If yes, then it is a
water heating fault. To resolve this error try pressing this reset sequence--
Heat Dry - Normal - Heat Dry - Normal or High Temp - Air Dry - High Temp - Air
Dry or Hi Temp Scrub, energy saver dry, Hi Temp Scrub, energy saver dry.
Now let the unit run for 2-3 minutes and then you press the Cancel/Drain button
and allow it to completely drain and reset.
If this doesn't work then it's an issue with the wash pump not pumping the
water past the heater efficiently or due to lack of water to heat. Please make
sure that heater is not open circuited and is heating the water efficiently.
You'll have to check the heater using a multimeter; the meter should read
between 3000 to 3300 ohms (Use multimeter on Rx1 ohm setting). If heater is
fine then make sure water pressure is optimum and fill valve is working fine.
Hope this helps... Please post back for further assistance.

The top rack and silverware do not look clean even
The filter is probably blocked.
It is inside the base of the machine.
Take out the filter and clean it and also clean out the filter well as that can also hold quite a bit of debris.
The other thing is to check is that you have added salt (dishwasher salt not cooking) in the water softener and that the machine is set for the water hardness in your area.

Upper tray doesn't clean, lower
Hi
If you are noticing that the dishes are not clean, then there are a few things to check for. Check the soap powder if it's kept in a dry environment. Also try replacing the powder with something like a gel or liquid. Next thing to check for is the water pressure and fill valve. Check if the water is filling in and the spray arms are throwing the water with enough pressure. Try and listen to the sound if you hear a proper spraying action sound. If it seems as a low water pressure then check the fill valve. Now, check if dishwasher is draining the water or not. While the dishwasher is working check whether the dishwasher is draining and there is not much left out water after the cycle is complete. Dishwasher not draining issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. Check the drain hose for any visible clogging, remove if present. If no visible lint is present then remove then turn off the dishwasher and remove the drain hose and check for any visible clogging. If still not visible then the drain filter or drain pump is clogged and you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump.
NO WATER
Check the water supply and the valve. Trace it back to the machine and make sure there are no kinks. Maybe you sensor to open the valve in the dishwasher is not working.
Dishwasher fills with hot water then does nothing
Do you get any humming noise when you turn it ON?
How long its been you used the dishwasher last time...?
If you are getting an humming noise then Sounds like the water circulator pump is stuck. The motor tries to turn it (humming noise), but cannot. So a breaker trips (self reset). Not claiming this is actually the problem, but this is what the motor turns.
