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

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.

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.

Hi Leroy, thank you for reaching out. Ensure that the start button has not been stuck. If it is fine, the issue could be with the control board, part number PS12704672. It manages the function of the dishwasher. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

Lost dishwasher brackets
I called an experienced plumber, who balanced and installed my new dishwasher properly, using the brackets I ordered from Parts Select, after an INEXPERIENCED plumber had tossed the factory-provided mounting brackets out with the shipping carton. Relief!

My filters had completely clogged up with hard deposits and food left on the dishes after running the dishwasher.
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. I won’t be using powdered or liquid detergent for my dishwasher anymore only pods and promise to clean my filters once a month, so hopefully that’ll help keep them clean. Very easy replacement even for an old woman.
