Dishwasher fills and drains but no washing/spraying occurs in between. No visible blockages in manifold or spray arm. Would I replace the diverter valve or the washing pump?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Mike, Thank you for the question. Normally this is an indication the Circulation Pump is not operating to circulate the water to the spray arms to wash the dishes. We hope this helps!

Why is there water leaking from the corners on the bottom of the door
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Radu, thank you for reaching out. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend making sure that the door is properly aligned. If the problem persists, then you may need to replace the door gasket, part number PS16221222, to solve the problem. A damaged or worn out gasket can most probably cause this problem. We hope this helps.

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 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.
