Thanks for using FixYa. To start with try to leave the unit unplugged for
10-15 minutes and while its unplugged check for clogs in the drain hose. Usually, these issues are related
to kinked hoses, knocked out disposer unit (if connected with the dishwasher
drain hose) & clogged drain pump & filter. Some of the most common
reasons include that the drain hose isn't working properly, the drain pump
isn't working correctly, or possibly there is a plumbing problem in your home's
drain lines. First check whether the drain is not clogged or blocked and the
line is not kinked. Check all the hoses for blockages, if everything appears to
be fine then it is better to use warranty and get it replaced/repaired. Please
accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further
assistance.
Recommend you stop using the gel and switch to a brand name powder - like Electrosol or Cascade. Never use gel, gel packs or tablets in any dishwasher. Avoid untra-cheap, generic powders.
If problems continue, a service call, with them checking that the heating element is working is the follow up step.
Good Luck!

Try a mainboard Reset. Pull the mains plug before bed tonight. Tomorrow, press and hold the on button for 30 seconds, then let go and plug it back in.

My plan was to see if I could find you a service manual, but strangely, the only reference to that model number is your post here! My guess is the D6 is 'D for Dishwasher' and 'Series 6' or 6 models in that current series.
If the machine has been laid up or little used, check all the connection on the control board. Clean pins and plugs with electrical switch cleaner

Please refer to youtube " Whirlpool Dishwasher Repair - How to Replace the Pump (Whirlpool # W11032770) "
The loud popping noise that you're hearing when you open and shut the door of your Whirlpool dishwasher (model # WDT780SAEM1) is most likely caused by the door gasket. The door gasket is the rubber seal that runs around the door, creating a tight seal when the door is closed.
Here are a few things you can try to fix the issue:
Check the gasket for damage: Inspect the door gasket for any tears, cracks, or other damage. If you find any damage, you will need to replace the gasket.
Clean the gasket: Over time, debris and food particles can accumulate on the gasket, causing it to become stiff and not seal properly. Clean the gasket with a mild detergent and warm water, and then dry it thoroughly.
Check the door alignment: Make sure that the door is properly aligned and not hitting the gasket when you open and shut it. If the door is not aligned properly, you will need to adjust it.
Lubricate the hinge: If the door gasket is in good condition and properly aligned, the problem may be with the hinge. Try lubricating the hinge with a silicone-based lubricant, as this can help to reduce friction and noise.
Contact Whirlpool: If you have tried all of the above steps and are still unable to fix the issue, contact Whirlpool customer service for further assistance. They will be able to provide you with additional troubleshooting steps or advice, or they may need to send a technician to repair or replace the dishwasher.
It's important to note that if the popping noise you're hearing is accompanied by other symptoms, such as leaks, then it may be related to a different problem, and you should contact Whirlpool customer service or a professional service technician for further diagnosis and repair.
