Dishwasher fills but no pressure during wash,

What I would Do :
1st I would start your dishwasher and let it fill with water and when it stoped filling, I would open the door to see how much water it filled in the tub. ((( if you don't have enough water you will not get the correct pressure )))

If We have enough water we then close the dishwasher door and resume.

you have 2 motors in the bottom of your dishwasher, The drain pump motor and the Wash motor. They should be differen sounds.

We want to know if your wash motor is coming on.

If your wash motor is coming on then I will listen to see if I here water coming out of the spray arm. (( somtimes you can here the swish of the water hiting the door ))

If you do not here the water then I would open the door and position all spray arms the same way and close the door for a min and reopen to see if i have any movment.

If you do not have any movement and did here the motor run then your impellor might be broken or cloged or bound. you will only really find out by taking it apart. you could buy the hole pump & motor Kit. but you can save money by finding out what is the cause.

You can see a breakdown of a similar model here
I was unable to get your model to come up and you should check the machine model number so you have it to get the correct parts. Look at the pump & motor section and you will see how this pump is broken down.

If you don't think your getting the proper water amount, just open the dishwasher door and pour 5 or 6 glasses in and close the door for the wash cycle and listen for a differance.

Dishwasher wont drain

You can check the drain or the filter. You will have to pull it out of the space it is now to access it. Items will get stuck in the drain clogging it.

My Whirlpool Dishwashe will not drain...before I mess around with

I think that your air gap at the sink needs cleaning out. This is where your drain hose comes from your dishwasher to the sink and then to your disposer or your drain. Check this and you'll probably find your problem.

Whirpool dishwasher does not go into wash cycle

you will need to replace the control bd. if it is not washing. I think that it is probably just filling and not starting the washing process and this would be a bad sump/mtr. assy.

Standing water in bottom of dishwasher...didn't drain.

hit the cancel drain cycle. Often times the dishwasher drain hose is not installed properly. It must be routed up as high as the dishwasher as soon as it comes out of the unit. May be also that there was a little regular soap or something that made it sudds up. vegetable oil poured into the dw tub will remove the sudds. Try to wash again after cleaning out the sudds and run it again. Thanks

Low hot water pressure in old whirlpool washer forever to fill

If you have verified that it takes longer than 120 seconds to fill with water then you need to replace your inlet valve. You might be able to get away with just cleaning the screen but you should probably replace it. pn 8531670.
However it more likely you have a defective heater and the dishwasher is trying to obtain its optimum operating water temperature unsuccessfuly and thus stalling to heat water longer than it used to.

Dishwasher does not clean items on top shelf.

Check the upper spray arm holes for debris that may be plugging up the spray arm. If clean remove the lower spray arm and filter screen and clean out any debris in the sump.

Dishwasher Not Heating!!

Using a multi-meter check for continuity on the heating element, if element is good then check for continuity on the door switch, if this also checks out good then the heater relay located on the control board is likely gone, replace control board.

Water returns to tub between washes

It may not be a inlet valve at all possibly. First, does the water seem to be clean? You could possibly have a back flow situation coming from your plumbing. There are check valves between the drain line and the pump that may have come loose. This valve could possibly be letting water back flow into the unit over time. Just something to check out while your under there. If you do find it is your inlet valve, you should be able to remove and install by just removing the front kick plate. Turn the water off to the unit, and remove the water line running to the inlet valve. Most of the time, the valve is held in place by 1 or 2 screws. These are usually 1/4" or 5/16" sizes. You can then remove the inlet valve, un-hook the wires, then replace.

Whirlpool built-in dishwasher - has

Yes, you will need to purchase a set of torx style screw drivers at your local hardware store. Remove the upper and lower spray arms and clean the debris out of the spray holes. Remove the screws that hold the filter in place and remove the gunk out of the sump. In the future stop using gels or gelpacks, just use electrasol powder or cascade powder. The gels and gelpacks clog up dishwashers like you would not believe. Run some Lemi-shine through the machine on a monthly basis, Lemi-shine is available at most walmarts.

Try pressing heated dry, normal, heated dry, normal keys within 6 seconds. All lights should come on and the machine should enter diagnostic mode. If this does not work remove the 2 screws that hold the toe panel on at the bottom front of the dishwasher, attached inside you will find a tech sheet that tells you how to enter the diagnostic mode. Once you get it in diagnostic mode let it do it's thing, will take about 20 minutes total. At the end the control will be reset.

Washer is overfilling

If your dishwasher leaks, check these:
Main tub seal
Door gasket or seal
Water-inlet valve
Hoses

Main tub seal
Note… If the main motor of your dishwasher is mounted vertically, beneath the center bottom of the dishwasher, the following instructions probably apply to you. But if your motor is mounted horizontally, the pump isn't serviceable--you need to replace the entire pump and motor assembly.

The main tub seal is beneath the drain impeller. It prevents the water in the dishwasher from leaking out near the shaft of the motor. To get to the seal, which is inside the dishwasher, remove the:

1. Lower rack
2. Spray arm
3. Spray arm support
4. Wash/drain impellers


Then pry the seal out of its housing and replace it.


Door gasket or seal
Over time, door gaskets and seals harden and lose their ability to seal properly. You can't repair the seals. You need to replace them if they've begun to leak. 


Water-inlet valve
The water-inlet valve, itself, seldom leaks. But, the water-supply line from the house and the rubber tube leading from the valve to the inside of the dishwasher may leak. Tighten or repair/replace these as necessary.

The water-inlet valve could mechanically stick open. When that happens, the water continues to flow into the dishwasher, which then floods your kitchen. Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher, and replace the valve.

Hoses
Behind the lower access panel on your dishwasher are several rubber or plastic hoses. If the leak appears at a connection, try a new clamp. If that doesn't work, replace the hose.

Dishwasher leaks will operating

Have not actually check around the pump. However based on the visual of where I noticed a pond of water under the unit where that machinery is located. Considering the age of the dishwasher I am convinced that there is a problem in this area. At this point it may be more economical to replace dishwasher. Thanks for the help.
