My dishwasher is just past the one year warranty. It fills up with water and I hear it change to the next function but, the water never sprays. It will then drain out when it is supposed to and the dryer works. I checked and cleaned the filter but, no luck. Any suggestions? I am pretty handy and with instruction can probably fix it. Thanks for any help!
Remove the toe panel and check if the wash pump motor (70 on the diagram) is working while the dishwasher is on wash cycle. Post the results.

I took all parts out to uncover the impeller. My motor runs and the impeller pulses, but it appears to be pulsing in reverse. Moves no water?
Do I need a motor?

I do not see how it can be possible. You can find how it works from the file attached to the reply.
For any further questions we need the complete model number of the dishwasher.

Hey Gene. Sorry it took so long to get back. I took the toe panel off and started the dishwasher. It fills up with water, clicks to start the wash cycle and then…nothing. Nothing is moving at all under there. It waits a while and then clicks to the next cycle…draining the water out.
Remove the wires from the wash motor and check for 120 VAC between them while the dishwasher is on wash cycle. Replace the pump & motor assembly if the voltage is correct.

I’ve read several threads on this. I don’t think it is the lid switch as I’ve used a screw driver to manually activate the spin cycle. It sounds like I may need to check the hoses to see if they are kinked. Unfortunately, I don’t know where those hoses are. It sounds like they are inside the washer - not the hoses that are external.
Any help would be most appreciated!
