Water remains in Whirpool Gold Quiet Partner dishwasher

first try turning off the machine with the breaker for about 5 mins and turn in on then see if it works.

The timing circuit may be defective and the circuit board needs replacing. Have an authorized serviceman do a continuity test on the board and have it rest to factory specs.

TRY A RESET CODE

Close the dishwasher door and engage the door latch.
Wait 10 seconds before pressing the "Cancel" button to reset the dishwasher.

The problem is hard water. There is a new product out called the dishwasher filtration system. It filters the water before it enters your dishwasher. It works amazing and has a money back guarantee. You will love the way your dishes look after the first load. It is also very affordable (like 70 bucks). Go to www.dishwasherfilter.com to find out more info.

Both problems sound like motor has failed or is failing.

Whirlpool Golds are very good machines. Also reliable, not many problems posted about these machines. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Whirlpool Gold line, than you will be very excited that this is the slightly upper-mid-level product line that gives you amazing features and quality.
