A:AnswerHi Christina, the hose is located on the back right. Hopefully this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool appliances!
A:AnswerYou shouldn't be having a lot of issues, especially if it is brand new. Have you been able to confirm that you are using the correct detergent? If it has been used, have you done any sort of maintenance/cleaning? Maybe there is some debris stopping it from working to its full potential.
A:AnswerHello Ann, this dishwasher comes with an adapter with threads for an internal or external faucet hookup. Hopefully this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool appliances!
A:AnswerHello Veei! This has a removable filter. So, the filter would need to be taken out and cleaned by you. The triple filter system consists of 2 parts, an upper filter assembly and a lower filter. The upper filter assembly keeps oversized items and foreign objects, along with very fine food particles, out of the pump. The lower filter keeps food from being recirculated onto your dishware.The filters may need to be cleaned when:Visible objects or soils are on the Upper Filter Assembly. There is degradation in cleaning performance (that is, soils still present on dishes). Dishes feel gritty to the touch. It is very easy to remove and maintain the filters. There is a chart in the Use and Care Guide for recommended Cleaning on page 7.
A:AnswerThe water stays on the entire time (or you risk burning out the motor or delaying the cycle due to insufficient water), but only draws water when it needs it during the cycle. A typical wash cycle is 90 mins. Of that time, it usually draws water three times (prewash, wash, rinse). Depending on your water pressure and if you have the faucet on all the way, each probably take 90 seconds to 3 mins to draw water. (I’m on the 90 second side but I have really strong water pressure; my guess is that the average is closer to 2 mins).
The dry cycle is at the end of the wash and a light flips on when it does to let you know. This is at the end of the wash cycle and lasts aprox 20 mins. (You do need to use a drying agent like Finish or Cascade Power Dry, but a bottle is $6-8 and lasts 2-3 months. Or if single like me - 6 months because I don’t need to run the washer as often.). Like I said, the “normal” wash cycle is 90 mins (and then it flips to dry). There is a 1 hour cycle and then a heavy wash/high temp cycle that is much longer (100-120 mins) but good for baked on/tough stuff.
Overall, none of this is more or less than any dishwasher I ever had in any other place I’ve lived. The quality is very much the same as an in-counter unit, just it has wheels and a counter top. It is pretty quiet and very easy to use and connect once the adapter is installed in the faucet. I washed dishes by hand in my 1930s-style apartment for 7 years. This is honestly a game changer for me. My counters/sink are less cluttered, things are way more clean, and I got a new island/counter space in my galley kitchen!

A:AnswerHi suzanne, we're sorry you are having problems with this Whirlpool - 24" Front Control Tall Tub Portable Dishwasher, we would suggest contacting the Whirlpool Customer Experience Center at 1-800-253-1301. We are open 8am to 8pm, Monday through Friday EST.
A:AnswerYou have to attach them yourself. They come wrapped in plastic inside the dishwasher. I had my sons put them on as you have to place the dishwasher on it's side in order to access the openings on the bottom of the unit where the casters fit in.
A:AnswerYes, the plug and water hose are built in and pull out from the back of dishwasher. (BB sold me an install kit which was for built in dishwashers, so ended up returning this unnecessary item. )
A:AnswerNot sure of the exact length. But plan on the dishwasher being right up against your sink. You maybe have 3 extra feet of hose once it's connected.
