A part fell off............

To reset it, you will have to have the door open. It can not be latched. Press "Heated Dry," "Normal," "Heated Dry," "Normal" within three seconds of the first pressed button. Now close the door, this should reset your dishwasher.17 Dec 2012

It should lock into place. Check a parts lookup on searspartsdirect.com to see if you are missing parts. it is a easy fix unless a part is missing , you have a spray arm and a lock tabtab

probily just needs tightened if that dont work its just the rubber washer in the fill line just turn off water unhook like from the dishwasher side look inside the line [ where the threds are] you should find a rubber washer and take to hardwear store and replace... good luck. i hope this helps

Yes you can but you will need the last few digits in your model number . Off the machine itself .

Have you figured your dishwasher problem out yet? In my Whirlpool, that tube doesn't fit on the wash column, it just snaps on to the lower rack, right above the washer column black rubber gasket... hope this helps!!!

it looks like it could be the a seal from around the powerclean filter module - the big round thing in the middle of the floor of the machine. check the manual on this link; http://www.whirlpool.com/assets/pdfs/lit... page 5 item "k" and you will see what i am talking about - page 20 gives a better idea but nothing is shown as you describe it - it may be a later addition/modification. try and see if it might fit this about, in the area between the filter edge and the floor of the machine. call: 1-800-253-1301 (if this doesn't work try 866-698-2538 - but i think the first one is the new one) for whirlpool service guys - they are very helpful. Only other thing i can think is if you had any other item in the dishwasher that may have a similar seal - mixer type machines, pressure cooker lids, storage jars or maybe something the kids wanted to wash etc. - you know what i mean; think hard if you can think of anything - the seal may have been in the machine for a while before you saw it. I do think the filter is where it came from though - without this seal it may appear to be working but not efficiently, and perhaps it is a little loose and somehow the seal came out. Bit of a guess but if all seems well then there may be no problem - a leak to the outside would be the first indication of any major issue which you say you don't have. good luck. I hope this helps :)
