To clean the bottom sprayer of your Whirlpool WDF560SAFW dishwasher, you can follow these steps:
Remove the bottom rack: Take out the bottom rack to access the sprayer.
Clean the sprayer arm: Use a brush, such as a toothbrush, to scrub the sprayer arm and remove any debris or mold.
Check the holes: Ensure that the holes in the sprayer arm are not clogged. You can use a toothpick or small brush to clear any blockages.
Run a cleaning cycle: Consider running a cleaning cycle with a dishwasher cleaner to further remove any mold or buildup.
Regular maintenance: To prevent future mold and blockages, it's important to regularly clean the sprayer arm and perform maintenance on your dishwasher.
If the issue persists, you may need to contact Whirlpool customer service or a professional technician for further assistance.
