possible door lath fault is not allowing the water into the machine fix that first

Remove the filters, look into the sump and at approx 10 oclock you will see a cover held in with a screw (usually a Torx20 screw head but it will come out with a small flat head) This right in the bottom of the sump and not along the rim where the sump meets the tank (do not remove these screw!!) Once the screw is taken out you will be able to remove the pump cover, check for debris, glass fragments or chips of plate etc. With the cover off, set a program and start it, reset as soon as the d/w starts up. This will bring the pump on and if something is trapped underneath the impellor this should 'kick' it out. Replace and secured the pump cover. If this does not resolve the problem, check for blockages at the plumbing or for kinked pipes. Please comment if you need further assistance.

I'm having the same problem, was told to put in an anti sudzing liquid found near carpet cleaners at lowes... Haunt found it anywhere yet. Tried using dishwasher magic, but that didn't work either bc water never left bottom... Have u found a solution?

Hi,

The scum, film and white residue problems have started since the reduction of phosphates in dishwasher detergents.

Here is a tip that will help you to solve the problem of films, residue, and scum in your dishwasher.

Dishwasher Residue and Film on Dishes

Many possible causes.
My list to trouble-shoot this would be:

1. Rinse dishes less before loading--the dirt on the dishes is what the detergent acts upon. You only need to rinse off hard stuff like bones, seeds, toothpicks, and so on.
   
2. Is your rinse-aid dispenser putting out enough?
   
3. Use a little bit less detergent.
4. Check the little nozzles in your spray arms. Maybe they have become blocked. (Sesame seeds are the sort of thing that cause headaches here.)
   
5. Check drain lines and filters.
   
6. Do you have hard water? Maybe your machine would work better with a water softener--whether built into the machine, or on the supply lines for the house.

drain pump is clogged. probably with a piece off glass or something,you must remove the plastic panel piece at the bottom of unit. must use a torc screwdriver
