My dishwasher will fill and drain. It goes through the cycles but the water will not always go to the arms. Sometimes it will work on heavy, but then it stops. And by "works" I mean water spraying through the arms. And it only works for minutes or seconds at a time. When it works for a few minutes, there is enough power and pressure that it will fill a "flipped up" bowl to the top no problem. Sometimes it will start and then stop within seconds. Then starts again. Then stops. Before it starts spraying the rare times, there is a quiet tick/trigger sound. When it is on but not running, the single click can be heard every 3 or so seconds. It will go through the full cycle as if things are working fine; this includes dropping the soap into the water. About 90% of the time, it will not spray water at all, aside from those rare times at the beginning of a heavy cycle. There is no humming or sound AT ALL when it is meant to be working. Only the occasional clicking sound. Could this be the pump motor? Could it be a connector problem? The clicking sound makes me think it is attempting to start something, and SOMETIMES that clicking comes RIGHT before the sprayers actually work. When it works for the a few seconds, then shuts off, if it works again that click IS heard immediately before it very rarely sprays.

Hello Katherine, thank you for writing. There are three parts that come to mind. First check that the fill hose PartSelect Number PS11738178 has no krimps, or blockages. The There is the Main Water Supply Valve PartSelect Number PS11752927 that may be clogged. And finally the Inlet valve PartSelect Number PS11750066 that allows water to enter your dishwasher. We have an installation video for you to access. We hope to hear from you soon.

Replaced Hinge Link
Pulled dishwasher from under counter, attached link to spring, hooked spring back into frame/chassis, threaded link through pulleys, attached other end of link onto door, reinstalled dishwasher under counter. All's well. Note-I purchased an extra link anticipating that the other one will fail. They're cheap enough.

dishwasher not draining after wash cycle
Caviat: The actual repair is less than 15 minutes, but I spent a lot of time playing with it before I figured out it was that easy and fast. You don't need to remove the dishwasher from the counter to do this. And it will probably help to look at the new part closely so you can understand where the retainer clip is to press it and release the old pump.

First remove the water from the dishwasher pan that would not drain with a wet/dry vac. Otherwise the water will all drain on the floor when you remove the pump. Then remove the two screws on the kickplate on the front of the unit below the door. Remove the kickplate/maintainence access cover. The drain pump is on the right about 8 inches in. Using two hands you grasp the drain pump with your right hand and use the left hand to push the retaining clip down. Then the drain pump will rotate 1/4 turn counterclockwise and can be removed without pulling the dishwasher out. There is likely to be some water leak out that was traped in the pump housing that you can not reach with the vac. Disconnect the wire. Connect the wire to the new pump, put it in place and 1/4 turn clockwise to install it. Replace the kickplate and you're done.

Door spring link broken
1. Open the dishwasher and remove the two plastic grommets about halfway down on either side of the opening. Then remove the two screws under the grommets.

2. Remove the kick plate under the door. May have to lower unit by turning the feet using the adjustable wrench.

3. Make sure you have enough slack in the water input line and electrical wiring that you can pull the dishwasher out about 12 inches or more.

4. There is a spring and nylon rope link on both sides of the unit. Probably just one link is broken, but the replacement comes with two, so you can replace both or save one as a spare. Look at the good side and it should be pretty self explanatory how it attaches. I found it easiest to first thread the link around the lower pulley, then attach the link to the spring, then spring to the rear support, then the link to the door.

5. Reverse (2 to 1) to reinstall the dishwasher.
