To reset your whirlpool dishwasher, first locate the outlet it is plugged into. Unplug the power cord and leave the appliance disconnected for one minute. Then, plug your dishwasher back into the outlet.
You can also switch off the breaker your dishwasher is connected to for one minute and then turn it back on.
If your dishwasher still isn’t starting, try unplugging the appliance again, this time for 15 minutes.
