Dishwasher takes 3 hours to wash, even on the light cycle
Our Whirlpool quiet partner 2 model takes about 3 hours to get trough the washing cycle, even if it is set on the light cycle. Is this normal or is there any way we can set it for the cycle to be shorter

This is ordinarily a problem with the touchpad. Can you give me the specific model number of yours (ordinarily on a sticker on the inside edge of the door or on the door opening)?
Hi there
The quickest wash cycle is the "1 Hour Wash" and is 58 Minutes long, but if your incoming water is below 120 deg. F or 49 deg. C you are looking at approx. 1H20 min.

I had the same problem with my dishwasher. After hearing that the motherboard was the problem I decided to take a closer look. There were two capacitors (1000 microfarads, 6.3 volts) that looked a little suspect. The tops of capacitors should be flat...these looked like soda cans that had been left in the freezer. Got on eBay, located the capacitors for roughly $3 and $4 shipping, for approx total of $10. Soldered the two new capacitors into the motherboard and put it back together. As soon as I closed the door, the dishwasher started draining the water. When I ran a Normal cycle it completed successfully. Saved myself over $120!
Hello. Manufactured by Whirlpool, Kenmore dishwashers have an electronic control panel that must be unlocked in order to set or make changes to your dishwashing cycle. If an error light is blinking on your dishwasher's control panel, the panel must be reset before you can gain access. Blinking lights on your dishwasher control panel may signal a mechanical problem that needs to be repaired. If the lights continue to blink after you've reset the control panel, contact Sears to service your Kenmore dishwasher or consider troubleshooting the appliance yourself. 1Press and hold the "Heated Dry" button on your Kenmore dishwasher for four seconds to unlock the dishwasher control panel. 2 Press the "Heated Dry," "Normal Wash," "Heated Dry" and "Normal Wash" buttons one after the other, in fairly quick succession. 3 Wait for the dishwasher to run a short diagnostic test. 4 Press the "Cancel/Drain" button at the end of the diagnostic test cycle. This should reset the control panel on your Kenmore dishwasher.
I have a whirlpool quiet partner II and for some reason it does not drain the water out any more and I cannot figure out why....people say that it is the filter but that is unbelievably hard to get to and I cannot find any instructions online or paper work that tells how to break it down. If anyone has any insight please let me know
You probably need to clean the filter; here is a site to show you how to do it: http://01tutorials.com/video/1686251/how-to-clean-the-filter-on-a-whirlpool-gold-quiet-partner-iv-dishwasher/4107
