Whirlpool Dishwasher Repair – Canton, OH (WDF520PADB3, WRB322DMBM00)

A Canton customer called about two appliances acting up — their Whirlpool dishwasher wasn’t washing well, and the icemaker in their refrigerator had stopped working. We found one simple fix and one part that needed replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported their dishwasher wasn’t washing dishes properly. Additionally, their refrigerator’s icemaker had stopped functioning entirely.

Diagnosis

We found the dishwasher’s sump screen was plugged with calcium buildup, which prevented proper washing. The refrigerator’s icemaker had failed and needed complete replacement. We also discovered the arm was loose on the icemaker assembly.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: W10884390 — icemaker
• Work performed: Replaced the ice maker in the fridge, cleaned the dishwasher filter, ran cleaning cycle with Affresh
• Result: Both appliances restored to proper operation

Is It Worth Repairing?

Whirlpool dishwashers are generally reliable appliances, and cleaning a clogged sump screen is a straightforward maintenance issue rather than a major failure. Icemaker replacement is also a common repair that extends the refrigerator’s useful life significantly. Both repairs were cost-effective for these units.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Dishwashers

• Run a cleaning cycle with Affresh or similar cleaner once a month to prevent calcium buildup
• Check and clean the sump screen regularly, especially in areas with hard water
• Have your water softener checked and calibrated annually to reduce mineral deposits
