Whirlpool wdf520padw5 dishwasher not spraying
Hi All,
My whirlpool dishwasher does not seem to spray water. It fills with water and then does not do anything. When I clear it the drain cycle works fine.
I checked the float and it does not look like its stuck.
I switched it off and on. Did not work.
I cleaned the spray arms, did not help.
I took off the water filter and the screen and cleaned them. There was nothing in the basin at the bottom of the dishwasher under the screen.
When i opened the footplate and ran the dishwasher, I could hear a few soft clicks when it got stuck. Not sure if its from the inlet valve or the circulation pump?
I have run out of ideas. Please help!
Thanks,
Sagar
Is this a good question?

I have the same issue, water will fill (now that I replaced the water inlet valve) and I replaced the float switch. Nothing happens once the water has filled. I have cleaned both top and bottom stems as well as cleaned all screens on the bottom. Help me please!!

definitely not the circulation pump in my case since I replaced it myself. PARTS are so expensive to replace. Inlet valve works, drain switch works. I think its my motor but already spent 200$ on parts and don't want to spend $126 for a new motor.

@Amit j ,
Check if there is voltage getting to the circulation pump motor terminals. if there is then it is the motor or the start capacitor if it has one - you didn't state the make or model number

Heres the model number MDB4949SDE3 hmm didn't check that yet...didn't know that motor has a capacitor.

In my case I ordered whole new one and thats not it. I didn't measure any dc voltage at 2 blue wires coming from motor to the circulation water pump.
