My dishwasher has the same problem. It is a Kenmore 58715142400. Fills with water and then just sits there.

Where exactly are the spade/lug power connectors located? I opened up the front panel and looked and checked al the connections I could see, but still not working.

Double check the spade/lug power connectors to the motor beneath the unit. They will vibrate off easily.

GE Nautilus, GSD3425F00bb. Does not fill with water every time. Sometimes it fills okay other times it gets only enough water to barely spin the sprayer. When it does fill it does okay.

Dishwasher fills but arms wont spin

sounds like a sticky or broken valve. these units have electronically operated valves to control water flow. its very likely that one of these has failed.

Ran without water will not fill now

Try unplugging the machine for 30 minutes then plugging it back in. I am worried that the pump is bad due to the fact that it needs water to add resistance to work properly and without water the pump spins so free the it burns itself out. But first try unplugging the dishwasher first

WATER ONLY FILLS 1ST TIME ON ANY CYCLE

Hi, After the first cycle, and after it drains/spins, does it start agitating when the next load of water is suppose to be filling?
Please let me know so I can assist you further. Sounds like the pressure hoe from the tub to the water level switch is plugged.

Thanks
Vic

Top wand does not spin

You may have a water volume problem.

The water fill sequence on most washers is timed. Insufficient water at the bottom of the washer will cause the pump to cavitate.
Ensure water is filling to just under the heating element.

You can fix this by isolating the water and electricity then remove the fill solenoid. Inside the solenoid is a top hat filter screen. This screen captures sedement.

Once the sedement was removed on my washer the wands turned

My machine also had a check valve on the bottom near the back of the machine that was blocked.The valve needs to work freely in order for the pump to build pressure. The check valve can be removed from the top by turning the assembly counter clock wise.

Fills with water but won't wash.

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

Dishwasher not washing

By chance have you cleaned the spray arm out lately? There could be something blogging the water from getting into the arm. In most dishwashers, the arm only spins because water pressure makes it spin.
