The sequence you describe would point to a plugged filter or a bad pump. Everything works, it times thru the wash and rinse cycle but if the arms don't turn/wash, water is not getting to the arms. They turn from the force of water coming out the holes.

I've tried looking for all the filters not sure if there's any on the bottom outside of the dishwasher but I'll have to tear it all apart again to double check everything lol
If there is NO water coming out the arms then it is probably the pump. A completely blocked filter is unlikely.

Hi @davideyler,
What is the model number of the dishwasher?
by jayeff
@jayeff not 100% sure I know it's the one with wheels and a wood countertop like piece kinda looks like an old cutting board I should be able to get the model number tomorrow.

@davideyler
The model number would help as knowing it then the tech sheet might be found which makes things easier to find out what's happening.
