Normal Cycle
Use for normal amounts of food soil to clean up leftover messes from your day-to-day meals.

Q: QuestionHow many minutes long is a Normal cycle?(1 answer)
A: AnswerThe machine has a short "rinse" cycle that's an hour to wash/dry. The Normal cycle is just over 3 hours, but does an excellent job of washing and drying with spotless results.Answered by Busboy
- A: AnswerIt is a short tone indicator and the running light turns from a blue light to white.
Answered by MB823

Answered by BigJon
- A: AnswerManual says 33 1/2 with legs removed
Answered by SupaMario
- A: AnswerHeight is easily adjustable. All four feet turn to allow you to raise or lower the machine to fit your space. The 23 7/8" you need is well within the range of adjustment.
Answered by Busboy
Q: QuestionWhat is the minimum depth needed for this dishwasher? My cabinet is the standard 24".(4 answers)
A: AnswerYes, it will fit. Our opening was also standard opening of 24”. Love this dishwasher. Runs great. So quiet, you can barely hear it run.Answered by jkerr7
- A: AnswerHi Dishwasher4searcher, there will only be a "Clean" indicator light at the end of the cycle. Once the unit is opened, it will auto-reset. We hope this helps.

Stainless Steel: Quiet Perfection
My condo has a small kitchen, space is tight and my bedroom is 25 feet away so noise is always a concern. After purchasing this in August and putting it to the test for over 60 days, I am finally ready to offer my review. Best Buy/Pacific Sales installers arrived on time, were very professional, had the installation kit with them and did an incredible job. Everything is absolutely perfect with this dishwasher except it doesn't dry some items completely. Even with the extra dry time setting, I still have to hand dry some items. I LOVE that it is Virtually quiet - the entire stainless steel tub and door is so MUCH better than plastic - it really absorbs the sound and is definitely worth the extra money! My last dishwasher kept me awake at night with all the racket - Not this one! You don't even realize it is on unless you are standing right next to it - I turn it on before I go to bed and NEVER hear a sound! Love, Love, Love it! I chose the model with recessed opening instead of a handle because it is located in a corner where I have to open cabinetry and was concerned a handle would impact the use of my cabinets. The wonderful installers were able to install it almost flush with cabinets allowing me to easily open the adjacent cabinet door and drawer and I liked the look of a recessed opening much better as well. 5 stars for quiet; great appearance; cleans dishes pretty well - occasionally I find food stuck on a fork or spoon; the exterior is easy to clean and the 3rd rack is so helpful with large cooking utensils. I gave it 4 stars just because the drying cycle could be better - otherwise I love it and my neighbors are jealous!

Run Silent, Run Clean
Dishwasher is extremely quiet. This dishwasher replaced an aging Kenmore model that was probably 10+ years old. At the same time we also replaced our refrigerator. We had a household debate about wether or not the brand new fridge, also a very quiet Whirlpool, was louder than the running dishwasher. We love the 3rd rack up top for large utensils like spatulas and it dries plastic items extremely well. The only moisture present after the normal cycle is small amounts that puddle in Tupperware style lid edges. Great unit for a great price. Highly recommended.
