Sounds as if the pump motor has gone out. This motor pumps the water from the bottom of the dishwasher throughout the unit. The solenoid that i think your refering to is the solenoid that activates the drain pump. I would think the pump motor is either stuck and if you can get6 to the back of it you may be able to use a screw driver to spin the fin on the back of the motor to unfreeze it. If this doesnt work then the motor has gone out and will need to be replaced

Whirlpool Dishwasher ADG 8210 runs for about 5 mins in any program then stops with F06 error code. Inlet water supply, hose, solenoid & filter all okay, also spray nozzles & heating circuit all clear.
If your dishwasher has set off an alarming F06 error code on the digital display, it is likely to be a problem with the water filling the machine.
Check for an intermittant inlet solenoid.

Looking for answer to error code F5 on Whirlpool Dishwasher ADG 8200
Fault Code F5 or Five Flashes
Cause: Spray arms are blocked/clogged or otherwise malfunctioning.
Action: Spray arms are easily removed so take them out of the dishwasher and wash in the sink to clear out any gunk (using descaler should help shift any stubborn debris). Whilst doing this run the dishwasher on a short program without the spray arms to clear any further blockages.

Our Whirlpool Gold dishwasher does not drain. What
Hello there:
If the water doesn't drain from your dishwasher, check these: Drain line/air gap A clog in the drain line or air gap (if there is one) is the usual reason that a dishwasher won't drain. Often the problem is at the point where the drain line attaches to the garbage disposer or household drain line. If you remove this line, you can clear any debris from the hose or hose connection. Be sure to reattach the hose before starting the dishwasher again. Pump Your dishwasher pump ejects the water. The pump is usually mounted directly to the motor, then attached to the bottom of the dishwasher. You can reach the pump from inside the dishwasher, but first you need to remove the lower rack, the spray arm, and the spray arm support. Look for an impeller--a round plastic fan blade-type of device that spins around. This is the wash impeller, which forces the water through the spray arm. Beneath the wash impeller is the drain impeller, which is similar in size and shape to the wash impeller. The drain impeller pushes the water toward the drain port. If any of the pump components are defective, you need to replace them. Drain valve and/or solenoid Many dishwashers use a drain valve with an electric solenoid. When electricity flows to the solenoid, the valve opens and diverts the water to the drain. Sometimes the solenoid, or the diverting lever, sticks and prevents the dishwasher from draining or filling properly. Try to free up the solenoid to lubricate the lever. Otherwise, you may have to replace the solenoid or pump assembly. With these systems, the motor always rotates in one direction. When it's energized, the drain valve diverts the water. Other dishwashers reverse the direction of the motor to drain the dishwasher. These units don't have a drain valve. Instead, there's a drain hose connected directly to the pump housing.
MotorIf the motor isn't turning or working, the unit won't drain. First check to be sure you have power to the dishwasher. If not, see the section "It doesn't work at all." If the motor hums but doesn't turn, it may need to be replaced. Some dishwashers are susceptible to getting stuck if you don't run them regularly. If you haven't run the dishwasher for more than a week, you may need to manually spin the motor to free it up. If the motor is defective, you need to replace it. Dishwasher motors can't be serviced. Timer Part of what the timer does is control the motor and drain valve. If the timer doesn't work properly, the water may not drain and you need to replace the timer.

Whirlpool ADG 957 Dishwasher not draining water?
There is a remote possibility that the drain line is clogged. Most units should have an aerator on the top of the sink area HOWEVER some are hooked up directly into the garbage disposal and it's at that point where the line can be clogged. Remove the clamp and make sure the line is clear or the hole in the disposal is clear.

More likely: the solenoid which directs the water to either the drain or the spray arm is clogged/jammed. Located underneath near the drain line.
