What we fix
Common Whirlpool dishwasher problems
Tell us which of these sounds like yours — the technician arrives with the right parts.
F8E1 — slow or no drain
F8E1 means water leaves the Whirlpool dishwasher's tub too slowly. A clogged filter at the bottom of the tub, a kinked drain hose or a blocked disposal connection come first; the drain pump after that. Replacing the drain pump on a Whirlpool dishwasher is $340 all-in with parts and labor, the $100 diagnostic included, and a 90-day warranty.
F6E1 — little or no water
F6E1 means not enough water gets into the Whirlpool dishwasher. A half-closed supply valve under the sink or a kinked line is common; otherwise the water inlet valve has failed. Replacing the inlet valve is $330 all-in on a Whirlpool dishwasher, parts and labor, with the $100 diagnostic included and a 90-day warranty on the repair.
F7E1 — no heat
F7E1 means the Whirlpool dishwasher's water isn't heating. The control may keep running cycles without warming the water, so the first sign is often dirty or wet dishes, not a code. The heater or its temperature sensor is the part to check; a heater replacement is $340 all-in, parts and labor, with the $100 diagnostic included and a 90-day warranty.
F5E2 — door switch
F5E2 means the Whirlpool dishwasher thinks the door never opened since the last cycle, so it won't start. Opening the door fully and closing it often clears it. If F5E2 comes back, the door switch or latch needs work: $245 all-in for a Whirlpool dishwasher latch, parts and labor, with the $100 diagnostic included and a 90-day warranty.
Leaking on the floor
A Whirlpool dishwasher leaking on the floor usually has hand dish soap foaming over, a worn door gasket, a loose connection underneath, or a forward tilt that spills water over the front lip. Soap and leveling cost nothing to fix. A gasket or hose leak repair is $290 all-in, parts and labor, with the $100 diagnostic included and a 90-day warranty.
Noisy or not cleaning
A noisy Whirlpool dishwasher that doesn't clean usually has a spray arm hitting a tall pan or the door, clogged spray holes, or a dirty filter. Clean those first. If the noise and dirty dishes stay, the wash motor is next; that motor-pump repair is $270 all-in, parts and labor, with the $100 diagnostic included and a 90-day warranty.
Check the soap first
Hand dish soap can look like a broken dishwasher
A squirt of regular dish soap makes a tub full of foam. In a Whirlpool that can cause leaks at the door, long drains and even error codes — with nothing actually broken. If the floor gets wet after someone ran out of detergent, run an empty rinse cycle before you book. Water still on the floor after that is a real repair.

Questions
Whirlpool dishwasher repair FAQ
How much does Whirlpool dishwasher repair cost in NYC?
Most Whirlpool dishwasher repairs run $250–$340 with parts and labor. The diagnostic is $100, credited in full if you go ahead. The final price is confirmed on site before work starts.
What does F8E1 mean on a Whirlpool dishwasher?
F8E1 means the water is draining too slowly. Clean the filter at the bottom of the tub, check that the drain hose under the sink isn't kinked, and if the dishwasher drains into a garbage disposal, run the disposal first. If F8E1 keeps coming back after that, the drain pump or a blockage inside needs a technician.
My Whirlpool dishwasher won't start and shows F5E2. What should I do?
F5E2 means the dishwasher didn't see the door open since the last cycle, so it plays safe and won't start. Open the door fully, close it, pick a cycle and press Start. If it starts, that's all it was — just remember to open the door between loads. If F5E2 comes back, the door switch or latch needs attention.
Why are dishes still wet in my Whirlpool dishwasher?
Most often the rinse aid dispenser is empty, or the heated dry option is switched off. Refill the rinse aid and turn on heated dry. If dishes are still wet — or washes come out cold and dirty — the heating or drying parts are worth checking.
Are you Whirlpool authorized service?
No. Sprocket is an independent repair service, not authorized by or affiliated with Whirlpool. If your dishwasher is under Whirlpool's warranty, use their service. Out of warranty, we repair Whirlpool dishwashers with our own 90-day warranty.
Do you also fix Whirlpool washers?
Yes — see our Whirlpool washer repair page. Same $100 diagnostic, credited in full.
