Whirlpool Wdf518sahm Dishwasher Won't Run Full 2 Hour Cycle E4 Code.
Normally running the regular high temperature wash or hi temp dry both display E4 regularly before cycle completes. The dishes will either be clean or not. I rinse again with sink. Sometimes cycle goes 2 hours perfectly. The maintenance in my building doesn't seem to be able to fix this even with a new part ordered.
