I turned on my Whirlpool dishwasher last night before I went to bed. It is a model number DU915PwP82. Sometime shortly after that, a water line broke in my neighborhood. The water was off and caused some sort of problem with my dishwasher. There is some water in the bottom of the dishwasher. It won't drain or start washing. Do I need to call a repair man or is there a reset button of some sort. Thanks for your help. Rina

Hi.
Often there is a lot of grit in the water supply after a pipe has been repaired, and this may have clogged one or more of the valves in your line, or the gauze filter in the inlet port on your machine. I would first turn off the water to the machine and disconnect the flexible pipe at the inlet valve on the back of the machine. If the inlet filter is clogged, there is part of your problem. If it isn't, place the end of the inlet hose in a bucket and turn on the water supply a little bit to see if water comes out. If it doesn't flow freely, then it's likely another valve in the line is clogged.
I think the machine may have stopped because it is waiting for water to reach the required level. You could check this, I guess, by adding water from a jug and then closing the door.

Hope this helps you a bit. D.
