I have a Kenmore model # 16539 SmartWash DW. Type No. 575-0. Motor # E71195. It is about 5 years old. When I run the DW it will fill with water but it does not wash the dishes. It does not spray any water inside - the spray arms do not spin, the insides are not wet. But, after the timer cycle is over it drains perfectly well. So, I know the water inlet valve works. I also know the heater element works. I also know the draining system works. It sounds to me like a pump/motor problem. Would you agree? I've also hear that it could be a door switch, but if this were true I wouldn't expect the controls to operate. Usually, when the door is slightly open the control panel disengages.
I've also heard that some DW's have two pumps: one for washing, and one for draining. Can you tell me if this DW has two pumps? I'm trying to understand if I need just a motor, or a motor and pump assembly. Since the draining works just fine, I am assuming the pump (if there is only one) is ok.
Thanks and Regards,
Joel
