Dishwasher not pumping water (by 5 users)

Report abuse


Hi, My dishwasher is not pumping water through the rotating arms. I have been noticing that the dishes were coming out dirty and the detergent tablet falls to the bottom of the machine. I have put the machine on just a rinse cycle. (someone told me this might clear up the problem.) I have opened the door and press the little switch to activate the machine and can see that the water is getting poured into the washer via a side inlet. Water is at the bottom of the washer and the heating element turns on. Water gets pumped out and no water is pumped into the swinging arm. Help!!
Thanks, Matt

Hi Dovi, Thanks for the quick response. I have checked and the motor doesn't spin. Does this mean a motor replacement or can this be electrical which is affecting the motor. I am guessing the pump works because the water gets drained. Thanks, Matt

I have the same problem with my 6 year old KUDI01ILWH1 model. The water enters the unit, and then the unit hums but no water is circulating. The water drains out when I hit the Cancel button.

Is there any "system reset" that I can try first, before ordering a service call? I flipped the circuit breaker off and let the unit sit for 24+ hours before re-powering the circuit, and the problem still exists.

How much does a new (or remanufactured, if available) pump cost for this unit? Is it a simple replacement that I could do myself (I am a novice handyman - homeowner for 11 years)? Please let me know.

Removed inner bottom arm, checked to see if foreign object was clogging, all clear.

It could be a motor or a pump issue. The dishwasher has a motor that attached to a pump which forces the water up into the sprayer arms and during the drain cycle, it pushes the water out of the dishwasher.
The motor (and pump) located beneath the dishwasher.
Check if motor spins. In case it spins, the problem is with the pump ,in case it doesn't spin it could be a motor problem or a motor and pump problem.

Good luck

Matt,
Check with a multi-meter for 115/220V on motor's tags.
If you don't get this voltage measurement, your problem is not with the motor.
In case you have 115/220V on motor's tags, try first to replace its brushes (2 carbon contacts that transfer the curent to the motor's armature).
Good luck!
