Those instructions appear as step 4 at https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1063490/Whirlpool-Wdf320padw.html?page=5#manual. If those aren't working for you, it may be the fault of your machine. In that case, see https://www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/Dishwasher-Repair/9-5--V0RGMzIwUEFEVyA=/Whirlpool-Dishwasher-Troubleshooting. (The link most likely to solve is listed seventh.) If the problem persists or if you require further explanation, you'll have to consult Whirlpool: use the contact information here--https://www.contacthelp.com/whirlpool/customer-service.
