To do a factory reset on a Whirlpool dishwasher: Press and hold the Start/Reset button for 3 seconds. This will cancel any ongoing cycle and reset the appliance. If this doesn’t work, try a hard reset by turning off the dishwasher at the circuit breaker, waiting for a minute, and then turning it back on. This should restore the machine to its factory settings. Always refer to your user manual for model-specific instructions.
