Melissa for Model Number KTDE104DSS0 My Kitchen Aid dishwasher is about 3 years old. The dishwasher will fill and drain, but the sprayers do not spray the water. I took the dishwasher apart, and there is nothing blocking the holes the water sprays out of. I cleaned the dishwasher with afresh, but the tablet was just in a partly dissolved puddle on the bottom of the dishwasher. I watched a video that said the circulatory motor is notorious for going bad after 3 years. I am wondering if you think that could be the problem.
Answer Melissa, the circulation motor could certainly be an issue. What you would want to do to verify that the motor is bad is to verify that the motor comes on and if it does not then you will need to test if the motor windings are bad. With the power turned off at the breaker box, you will need to access the main control in the door. You will want to disconnect the wiring connection that has 3 blue wires and 3 brown wires. You will then want to test the blue wires for resistance. The first and second blue wire, the second and third blue wire, then the first and third blue wire. These should all read 11.6 to 13.4 ohms. If the readings do not show within that resistance, the windings are bad. If the motor does come on and the wash arms do not rotate, you would have an inefficient motor. If the motor does not come on and the windings tested good, you may have a control W10854215 issue. The most efficient way to replace the motor is going to be replacing the entire sump assembly WPW10605057. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, January 15, 2019
