My dishwasher won’t spray water sometimes but will sometimes. Arms are clear. It makes loud noises when isn’t working but noises disappear if it doesn’t work. I feel it may just be the pump. But I’m not sure with a new model
For model number WDP540HAMZ4
Hi Brandon, thank you for reaching out. Based on the description you have provided, it seems that there is an issue with the circulation pump, part number PS16744934. It is responsible for circulating water throughout the dishwasher during the wash and rinse cycles. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this sorts out your problem!

Dishwasher start button does not work. All other buttons will cycle through and lights will come on. The start button light never comes on and I cannot get the dishwasher to start because of this obviously. Thanks for any help.

Hello Aaron, thank you for getting in touch. You will need to replace the console or the touchpad, part number PS16763161, to fix the issue. The start button is built into the console. We hope this helps.

Heating element went bad. I replaced it and it still will not heat. I checked continuity in height temp thermostat and it is good. Is there anything else I can try??

The washer will start and fill up with hot water, but will pause during the cycle and stop washing leaving the dishes dirty. It will dispense the soap as well but it just sits in the bottom for several hours before it says tbh e cycle is complete.

Dishwasher starts automatically without initiating start button. This happens after dishwasher been off for awhile. What could be the problem?

My filters had completely clogged up and had not cleaned my filters at all which was a no-no.I had lots of food left on the dishes after running my dishwasher, so I took bothp filters out and replaced them no tools required.
