  • Key Specs
    • Color Finish: Black

    • Operating Sound Level: 51 decibels adjusted (Today's appliances are pretty quiet. To get a sense for how quiet you'll need, think about having a conversation in the same room. Choose from Not as Quiet (56 dBA or higher. You'll likely need to raise your voice); Quiet (50-55 dBA. Need to raise your voice slightly); Very Quiet (43-49 dBA. Easily have a conversation right next the appliance); and Nearly Silent (42 dBA or lower. You'll hardly know the appliance is on).)
    • Number Of Racks: 2
    • Tub Finish: Plastic (Certain coatings or materials on the inside of the dishwasher, such as stainless steel, are more durable, retain heat better, and can withstand higher temperatures than materials such as plastic. These higher quality materials may increase the appliance’s efficiency, but there may be also be extra initial cost. Some models marketed as Hybrid will use both materials in the tub, often using stainless steel on the interior door to increase durability on the part of the appliance with the most common wear and tear.)

  • Features
    • Hard Food Disposer: false (This feature has blades to chop and disintegrate hard food particles, making them small enough to easily drain away. This prevents them from being recirculated back onto dishware and allows for easy maintenance.)
    • Drying Method: Heated drying (Appliances that use heat to dry the dishes will include a heating element or minerals which transform moisture into heat. A fan or vent then circulates the hot dry air throughout the tub during the drying cycle. This may reduce drying time and the risk of water spots. Appliances that use minerals to produce heat are considered more energy efficient than those that include a heating element. Appliances that use condensation drying are considered more energy efficient than those that use heated drying. Instead, high temperature water is produced during the final rinse cycle which warms the interior and eventually condensates and drains out of the machine.)
    • Operating Sound Level: 51 decibels adjusted (Today's appliances are pretty quiet. To get a sense for how quiet you'll need, think about having a conversation in the same room.

  • Flexible loading options: Adjustable upper basket, folding tines and split & fit silverware basket.
  • 24-hour delay-start: Lets you set the dishwasher to start running while you're working, sleeping or running errands.
  • Adjustable upper rack: Manually raise or lower the upper rack two inches to better fit tall items.

  • Accommodates up to 15 place settings: Generous interior space means more clean dishes, fewer loads.
  • NSF Certified sanitization option: Ensures hygienic results.
  • Fan dry: Get cabinet-dry dishes straight from the dishwasher with a fan to push out moist air while helping pull in fresh, dry air.
  • High temperature wash option: Gives items like baby bottles, glassware or dishes a more thorough clean.
  • Heated dry option: Use a clean, dry dish straight from the dishwasher thanks to added heat for drying. For optimal drying results, use this option with rinse aid.
  • Sensor Cycle: Automatically selects the right wash and dry settings for your load by using two separate sensors to measure temperature, soil level and load size once during the prewash and once during the wash cycle.
  • Normal Cycle: Use for normal amounts of food soil to clean up leftover messes from your day-to-day meals.
  • 1-Hour Wash Cycle: Cleans dishes in half the time compared to Normal cycle with lightly soiled loads so your plates, pans and glasses are thoroughly cleaned up and taken care of in just an hour.

  • Whirlpool 24" Built-In Dishwasher

Q: Hi, has anyone not had the dishes dry after the cycle is finished? My dishes are always wet afterwards and that makes no sense to me.

A: I am having the same problem. Dishes are very wet, and so are the sides of the dishwasher. Something seems off to me.

Q: Is the tub stainless steel also? and is the front stainless steel the type that will not show fingerprints?

A: Hi Robyn, the tub is plastic and this Dishwasher is not fingerprint resistant. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool appliances!

Q: Has anyone had a problem with the dishwasher not being dry inside after the cycle ends (even with using the 20 minute heated dry plus rinse aid option)? The dishes are dry but basically the entire interior of the machine is still wet afterwards?

A: I had the issue before using the drying agent, but not since. I’ve heard some drying agents work better than others. I use only Jetdry. I also typically start the dishwasher just before bed or before I go to work so maybe I give them more time to dry. On the rare occasion that I empty right after it finishes, I typically put top rack, mostly plastics on a towel to dry while I put everything else away. The water usually evaporates by the time I’m done with the others. Hope it helps.

Q: How much will installation cost?

A: You should DEFINITELY call Best Buy and ask them. Be advised that you will not only need the braided water cable and power cord (these do NOT come with the dishwasher, as we discovered today when it was delivered!), you will ALSO need to purchase a "3/8" compression by 3/4" hose fitting with a 90° elbow". That's straight from the installation instructions. I had to go to my local hardware store to get the 90°, because the delivery guy told my wife "everything you need is in the box". It most definitely was NOT. It should be cheaper to get these from your local hardware store. .

Q: I have just gotten it installed and noticed 2 issues. After the wash with dry heat selection, the inside was still pretty wet. My old dishwasher was completely dry. The door is making noise when open and close. Any suggestion is appreciated.

A: Sadly, dishwashers at this price point will almost always leave dishes wet. What we did was to run the dishes at night, open the door in the morning and by the afternoon everything was dry. Also, use a really good Rinse Aid like Finish or something. That does make a real difference in how fast and how much the dishes will dry.

Q: I have a 1 inch overhang from my counter top. Would this interfere with accessibility to the controls? Would I have to have the door partially open in order to access the controls? Could this interfere with access to the controls during wash cycle?

A: The overhang does interfere a little with the view of the buttons when it’s closed, in my opinion. This hasn’t led to any major issues for me. I usually choose the wash cycle while the door is up but not closed, then immediately close it and hit the “start button”. It’s not hard to reach but the wording on the buttons is slightly covered. A mild inconvenience for a dishwasher that i otherwise like. I’ve just gotten into the habit of selecting my wash cycle while I’m swinging it shut.
