My Whirlpool machine will go through a full wash cycle, but starts bleeping once it gets to the dry cycle. The only way to shut it up is to reset the machine.
Any ideas..? I’m thinking of buying the machine a can of petrol and a match for xmas, as its been nothing but trouble since we got it.. 😡

Hi
When it starts bleeping, could you possibly count the number of times the “Start” lamp flashes. There will be a pause before the sequence re-starts.Cheers

Thanks for the quick response.
The light flashes four times, goes out, and then flashes four times again (over and over again). This is in addition to the bleeping.
It did it about 2 mins into the wash cycle this time.

Hi
If the appliance is draining ok then I would be looking at a clogged or defective Water Indicator (WI)
This is situated below the filters at a 3’O clock position. Some are grilled some are clear plastic. The grilled ones are usually black and get clogged with food or paper debris. Take must be taken when cleaning because behind the grill is a rubber membrane that can be easily punctured.
Hope that helpsGreg

Thanks for that – I gave it a good clean – I even took it out (what fun that was), as I couldn’t really get to it to give it a good clean. I also cleared out the tray at the bottom as this had quite a lot of water in it.
It starts the cycle, but then there is a constant clicking noise (sounds like a relay or something) coming from the start button area. This went on for ages until I got fed up with it and reset the progam and started again. The clicking noise was then replaced by our old friend the bleeping noise (with the accompanying four flashes).

Hi
If there is water in the base then you will need to remove it again, power off of course 😉 Then power up and run it and look with a torch and see if you can spot the leak.
Most common is the small hose of the re-circulation pump, they tend to split :rolls:Greg
Re: Whirlpool DWF B10 Bleeping Problem..!
ok, the water tray was absolutetly full of water. I mopped it all up and started the cycle again. The leak is clearly coming from the water indicator thing that I took out and cleaned earlier (the black thing with the grill). I took it out again to see if I had punctured the membrane, but all looks well (I did have to scrape out the clogged up gunge though, so maybe I did puncture it and just can’t see it?). I’m pretty sure I put it back correctly as well, and I think it had been leaking before I took it out to clean, as the tray had water in it before I cleaned it first time.
Do I need a new water indicator? If so, can I get one through this site..?
Thanks for your assistance.
