For the convenience of selection and purchase, all dishwasher modules are divided into certain categories - according to the dimensions and type of installation.If you choose by size, you can buy a narrow (45 cm wide) or full-size (60 cm wide) model. According to the type of installation, Whirlpool dishwashers are divided into two main classes - built-in and free-standing.

Built-in structures are assembled in the ADG, WIE and WIC series. These are, as a rule, narrow models, the width of which is 45 cm, and the capacity of 9-10 standard sets of dishes, however, there are also full-size modules. They are installed in furniture, and their doors are completely closed with facade material. When fully integrated, the design of the kitchen is not disturbed, and the unit harmoniously fits into the overall environment. Due to the integration, the maximum absorption of noise occurs, as well as complete protection from the child. The control panel for most built-in structures is located in the upper part of the facade. The list of built-in models that are popular among buyers can be made:

This is a full-size built-in model ideal for large kitchens and families of 4-6 people. The design is equipped with a capacious basket for 12-13 sets, intuitive electronic control, LED display, a set of 6 modes, economical consumption of resources, noiselessness and static type of drying.

This is a compact built-in unit designed to wash 10 sets in one cycle. The device has 6 main programs, condensation drying, convenient push-button control, economical consumption of water and light, inverter motor and absolute quietness.

It is a slim, fully recessed design with many innovations and additional features. The model is characterized by a capacious basket for 10 sets of dishes, convenient electronic control, condensation drying, low resource consumption, as well as 6 programs and 4 temperature modes.

The freestanding models are assembled in the ADP, WFC and ADPF series. Most often these are dishwashers with a standard width of 60 cm and a capacity for 12-14 sets of dishes. Such structures are installed in any convenient place in the kitchen, the main thing is that the drain and water supply are nearby. Freestanding dishwashers are ideal for spacious kitchens or in situations where there is no room for a new appliance in the furniture set. In addition, the cost of free-standing models is slightly cheaper than fully recessed designs. Desktop miniature models produced by the manufacturer are extremely rare in the class of free-standing modules. Among the popular stand-alone modules in demand are:

It is a free-standing full-size model with a classic design. The device is characterized by a good capacity (up to 14 sets), a digital display, an inverter motor, a high energy consumption class, an understandable electronic control, and a basic set of programs - 5.

This is a full-size freestanding structure with a basket of 10 standard kits. It is characterized by a basic set of programs, noiselessness, low resource consumption, as well as a condensation type of drying.

Along with the two main categories, there are also partially built-in appliances, when installed, the panel remains outside, that is, open. Such units have characteristics similar to built-in devices, and they practically do not differ in cost.

After buying and installing a brand new dishwasher, every housewife wants to quickly test it in work, but this should be done only after carefully studying the instructions, which describes in detail how to use the device. The application manual consists of many points, where the following information deserves special attention:

• how to turn on the unit correctly;
• first start;
• programs and their purpose;
• additional modes and innovative technologies;
• loading the basket.

The first start (idle) is performed without loading the dishes, but using all detergents (powder, rinse aid, salt). Its purpose is to check how the appliance is working, to clean it from factory grease and debris, to check that it is connected and connected correctly (water supply, heating, draining, drying), as well as training the user.

For high-quality dishwashing, you need to learn how to choose the right program. Whirlpool dishwashers are equipped with the following programs:

• Eco. Ideal for not too dirty utensils, which saves resources.
• Daily / Standard. This is a convenient program for daily washing up after lunch and dinner.
• Wash & Dry. Suitable for loading and washing dishes made of different materials with varying degrees of soiling. The cycle duration is 60 minutes.
• Night wash. This is a silent mode designed to run at night.
• Intense. The ideal high temperature program for heavily soiled utensils.
• Delicate. The best option for washing dishes made of thin glass - wine glasses, glasses, vases, wine glasses, figurines.
• Accelerated / fast. The mode is designed for not too dirty dishes, which involves loading several standard sets of dishes.
• Multizone. This is a mode that allows you to independently determine the area for washing dishes in the bunker.
• Soak. If you need to delay washing the loaded dishes, you can soak them and then wash them. The soaking mode is performed without the use of detergents. Sometimes soaking is effective if the utensil is too dirty (dried fat, burnt bottom).
• Steam / antibacterial. In 80 minutes, all microbes are removed from the surfaces of the dishes, as well as steam sterilization, which is especially important when there are small children in the family.

The basic set includes 6 necessary programs - delicate, intensive, fast, normal, economical and presoak, and the rest of the modes, depending on the model of the dishwasher module.

Among the innovations and additional options are the programs "Sixth Sense", "Self-cleaning filters", "Intellectual memorization"as well as half load, drip protection, delay start and detergent availability indicators.

Having chosen the right mode, you need to learn how to place the dishes in the basket correctly. To do this, you need to follow basic rules:

• Arrange items of crockery at a short distance from each other, ensuring water access from all sides. Items are displayed at a slight forward inclination.
• The largest items are located in the lower area of ​​the basket, plates in the middle, and cups and glasses in the upper.
• Do not place utensils in the pallet as this could block the water spray.
• Do not wash items made of Teflon, tin, non-heat-resistant plastic, aluminum and wood in a dishwasher.

Before loading the dishes into the basket, they must be thoroughly cleaned of food debris. If this is not done, the filters will quickly become clogged, which will lead to malfunctions or damage to the unit.

Wirlpool dishwasher modules are of high quality and reliable, but over time, even such units fail or some of their parts fail.Thanks to the self-diagnosis system, when a failure or malfunction occurs, the user is notified by means of a special code. The main thing is to correctly decipher such error codes. The most common codes encountered by the user are:

• E1, indicating a possible leak, is signaled by the AuqaStop system;
• E2, indicating a safety problem, there may be a problem with the power grid, voltage surges;
• E4 indicates that the thermostat is out of order, most likely, it just burned out, this part cannot be repaired, only replaced;
• E5, signaling a too long water intake, perhaps there is no water in the system or the tap is simply closed, sometimes the water pressure decreases due to a blockage of the water tap.

To eliminate the failure, you can restart the dishwasher - disconnect it from the mains and wait 15-20 minutes, and then restart it. If the error reappears, then you need to fix the problem. It is possible to carry out repairs on your own in case of minor malfunctions - blockages, kinks in the hose, a loosely closed door, and so on. If you need professional diagnostics and replacement of complex mechanisms, then it is better to contact professionals.

The most common breakdowns faced by equipment owners after many years of operation are filter and water hose blockages. Slightly less often they encounter failures and failures of the electronics / electronic module, which is damaged due to changes in the network.

Whirlpool dishwashers are in great demand among Russian buyers. This is due to the fact that dishwashers do an excellent job with their tasks, and their cost remains acceptable. Almost all users note the elegant design, a good set of programs and modes, sufficient for daily use.

According to some buyers, innovations such as an antibacterial regime, which is important when there is a small child in the family, as well as pre-soaking, which allows washing even the most stubborn dirt, are considered a huge advantage of the designs. Admirers of new technologies have appreciated the "Sixth Sense" and "Intelligent Memory" mode, which other manufacturers of dishwasher modules do not have.

Along with the numerous advantages, there are some complaints about the units, for example, insufficiently high-quality drying of dishes, as well as insufficient equipping of the basket with auxiliary holders and compartments.
