Rick for Model Number WDF540PADB0 My dishwasher isn't cleaning. It's filling with water, running through the cycles, draining, and then showing as washed. I don't think water is going through the spray arms. The spray arms aren't clogged. I'm thinking the pump and motor may be bad. Is there something else I should look at first? If I pull the pump and motor assembly is there a way I can test them? Is it possible for the pump and motor to be clogged? If the dishwasher is draining does that mean the pump is good or is that another part that drains the dishwasher?
Answer Hello Rick, There are two pumps on this unit, the circulation pump W11133712 and the drain pump WPW10348269, so if it drains it has nothing to do with the water circulation. You need to verify that the heating circuit is operational and that the water is being circulated. You can check for water circulation by placing a glass in an upright position in each corner of the upper rack and run the unit for 60 seconds. If water is circulating properly, they should fill halfway in this time. The filter W10872845 could also be clogged. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, July 21, 2017
