Westinghouse WSF6608X (Stainless) Questions & Answers
VerifiedMPN: 36508981
Our dishwasher door doesn't seem to shut properly anymore, no leak in the washing process, but steam comes out in the drying process, should there be an audible click when I shut the door?
The upper spray arm has just fallen off the channel feed upper arm. Is it a matter of clipping back in or is there a piece that needs to secure it to the channel
You probably have worked this out by now, but yes it just clips back together.
How do we clip it back it doesn’t stay- are there any instructions to on this
I also can't clip my upper spray arm back on again. Please advise
Probably too late but there is a nut that holds the upper spary arm into the housing, and the nut is part of the spray arm. To loosen, you turn it to the left, and the arm drops out. To install the arm, lift it into the housing and turn the nut to the right until it clicks ib position. It turns about a quarter turn from tight to loose.
Can you please advise on how to remove error code F1 from the machine and what does it actually mean? According to the User manual F1 'Alarm is active against water overflow'. The advice is to turn power off and close the tap. We have tried this and nothing has happened?
Sorry, I've never had this issue, I think you will need to call Westinghouse or a repairer.
Water flood activation valve try tilting on side for 10 minutes. Try again. If it does it again sump seal might be leaking
I purchase the WSF6608X two years ago and never installed it. Recently I got a licensed plumber to install it and the first three washes worked perfectly as I was using quick wash. However, with long washes such as Heavy or Eco, the machine starts ok but keeps turning on and off, sometimes with long intervals. All lights will flicker and sometimes I have to push the on/off button again to continue. This is a new machine in terms of usage. Is there a fault in the sensors, Anti flood valve, or something else?

The programme and start pause buttons on my WSF6608x are not responding when pressed - there is no fault Indicated and the lights are still on but not able to run the dishwasher. I have tried turning the power on and off but to no avail. Nothing mentioned in troubleshooter in manual for this problem but just wondering if there is a simple solution before we have to call a technician in.
I think you will have to call the store you bought it from or a technician, unfortunately. We've never had that issue. Good luck!

Hi Liz B, my dishwasher is doing the exact same thing! What did you do to fix it, please?
We had to get a new circuit board fitted
That's not the answer I wanted to hear, LOL. Thanks for letting me know.
Pressing the program button will not move to the next option every time. Takes a lot of presses to get it to move to the next program option.
I've never had that issue, it sounds like it is a fault, unfortunately.
How do i fix F5 code, pipes arnt kinked?
Does it beep at the end of washing cycle?
No
my wash arm keeps falling off the bottom of the middle drawer. I click it back on Seems to stick at the water connection at the back. How do I stop this please
Hi, the powder compartment in our WSF6608 doesn't open during the cycle - the powder remains in the compartment. Does anyone have advice on how the compartment spring is triggered during the cycle? Our dishwasher is less than 2 yrs old and the compartment appears to open and close properly. We are also disappointed with the degree of drying after having previously owned a Bosch dishwasher that dried dishes amazingly well. I've read the other questions here and we've tried different cycles - still experiencing wet dirty dishes after a two-hour-plus cycle! I'd welcome any suggestions - thanks.
Hi, I cant speak for powder as I use a tablet and I never have any issues with that, I suggest you may need it looked at by a technician, not sure if its still under warranty. with drying my favourite setting is the heavy option and the timeframe isn't long at all for this option.
maybe worth trying a tablet, make sure you have full rinse aid and use heavy, then let me know if that helps, otherwise you may need to get it looked at.
I have a new WSF6608 dishwasher and after a few successful cycles it is also now failing to open the powder/tablet flap in use. Sounds like a service call might be in order also. I have tried with the tablet button selected and not with no difference. I think this is only for the 2 in 1 type of tablet, so you wouldn't think it would make a difference.

The dispenser is operated by a valve it coud be getting stuck
I have an issue where the dishwasher stops, lights go off then it either flickers or comes back on again.... This can happen multiple times a wash. Oh and no error codes, if I lucky it just continues on & finishes the wash like nothing has happened.
Any help appreciated, I'm hoping it's something simple I can fix or have overlooked?
I am actually having the exact same issue and came here looking to see if anyone else was having a similar problem. I would love to see what the answer is to this.
My machine is less than 4 months old and has been doing this on and off for the last couple months and is starting to get really annoying!!
Try the tablet setting... I haven't noticed a problem when I remember to turn it on.
what setting for fine china and crystal?
My dishwasher won't drain , f2 keeps flashing. Have checked for blockages, have tried dishwasher cleaner and still won't drain properly. Any ideas?
Mine did this 3 days ago! Its 2 years old, there are NO blockages anywhere but still won't drain! Following this thread.
Mine has just done this today - exactly the same as you have both described. Did you find a solution? Mine is under 2 years old - about 18mths
I have recently purchased the WSF6608 dishwasher, and have just installed it with the kitchen upgrade. I have found an issue in that I need to raise the upper basket in order for the dinner plates to fit in the lower basket, but when I raise the upper basket to the top position, and then try to push it back in, it is hitting the runners for the cutlery draw, and am unable to push it back in. Has anyone else had this issue, and how do I fix it?
I've this same problem. Did you get an answer?
Yes - I contacted Westinghouse, and after sending them photo's of the dishwasher, they sent out a technician with the correct basket for model I had.
Where is this dishwasher made / manufactured?
Turkey
Hi there... want to know why the dishes r not dry after the wash .. is it something I got to press?

Does the wst6608x machine come with plastic film on the front of the door? Our new machine (installed yesterday) appears to have scratches on the door but forums I read for other machines say there is a protective film that needs to be removed (including taking out screws)
Please advise. Thanks
Hi,
I have just purchased this dishwasher but I’m extremely disappointed that I cannot fit my standard plates in there. It’s easier to wash them by hand at this stage. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you
Same here, we bought smaller plates .
Just raise the upper basket as shown in the manual, and your dinner plates should fit, I did this and it worked for me.
I have the same problem, the upper basket is raised and I still have trouble with plates, they are a standard size plate, 25cm or 10 inches from side to side.. is there an alternate upper basket that can be fitted that is not so deep..
Have a Westinghouse dishwasher trying to use it starts working then stops with lights flashing & F2 showing
I have same problem if I raise top basket glasses and bowls don’t fit if I lower basket water arm hits the dishes Standard plates used Like the old dishwasher far better but for the fact it died at two years old
Hey there. Just wondering if this unit has an end program beep? Would love it to have one but can't find it covered in the manual. Cheers
Mine does not beep either
Oh well, not the end of the world I guess, just would have been nice to have. Thanks for getting back to me :)
Why is there a number stamped on the front of my stainless steel dishwasher?, I'm so mad!!!!!
Peel off the protective film
