It fills and heats the water but the spray arms aren't delivering water to the dishes. We had a trouble code and I think it was blinking 3 times before repeating and wasn't letting the washer fill. I cleared the code and now if fills but doesn't wash. Model KUDKO3ITWH0
SOURCE: Dishwasher spray arms don't spin & spray water
Could be a a couple different issues.. Not filling with enough water or food chopper broke or food chopper filter screen clogged.
Check water level:
Run the DW and wait for the main wash to start (water will fill. pause then complete fill) The water should be no more than 1/4 inch below the heating element. If not there..replace water inlet valve.
Inspect food chopper:
1. Remove lower spray arm and rear water supply tube to upper spray arm.
2. Remove torx screws that secure the sump cover.
3. Remove primary filter
4. Remove food chopper cover to expose the chopper assembly. Inspect for breakage or blockage.
If you need further assistance, let me know

if the bottom tub is filling with water but not washing the issues is with the wash motor, some of this model use a start capacitor that can fail, if it has a capacitor on the side of the motor it may have failed but are difficult to diagnose but are cheap to replace so worth trying, if this doesn't help or if it doesn't have a capacitor then the fault is with the wash motor.
Testimonial: "I'm going to spend this Sunday morning uninstalling completely and checking out the motor...and...if present....the capacitor. If it has a capacitor I'm going to try replacing that....if not....I'm not going to try replacing the motor... For about $100 more I can buy a bran new dishwaher. This one is only 3 years old....Very disappointed in my first whirlpool product....but a new one could be the way to go. I can install that myself no problem. Thanks so much. I'll let you know if it was the capacitor"
