Check for dirt in your spray nozzles. If they get too clogged, the nozzles won't spray water and the spray head won't turn or will turn too slow.

Hi

Unplug the dishwasher for 15minutes and then press & hold the RINSE ONLY/AIR DRY button for 15 seconds to reset the dishwasher. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

There is a little plastic thumbscrew- wing nut thing in the center of the spray arm. This meets with a female coupler that sits inside the plastic arm assembly that gets bolted to the floor of the dishwasher. Maybe you forgot to put this part back right or maybe it's not seated correctly? If that female part is there, the lower spray arm just screws down from above.

get a coat hanger or flexible wire and try to run it under latch from the top. This may be difficult depending on how your countertop is. Once it's under the latch from one side to the other, pull up on both sides of wire to raise the latching mechanism. Open door.

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. To start with if the door lock is stuck and wont unlock then you can pry it to open, and just don’t try too hard. The issue can be with the door latch that is stuck, to unlock it you can stick a flat screw driver behind the door latch and then lever it to open so that you don’t have to pry it to open. Once it’s done, please make sure to replace the door latch assembly to avoid any further issues. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

The bottom area of all dishwashers have the drain holes and pump which evacuate the water and debris. Remove the bottom tray and reach in and feel around. You may discover that some small items like corncob holders have fallen into the drain holes...If the drain holes are not blocked or clogged, the pump may be weak or defective. Check for debris first, if you find nothing blocking the little drain holes, call a repair agent who may need to get under the wash basin area by removing the washer from the cabinetry.

Bad drain pump or restricted drain hose.

Locate the "Energy Saver/Dry" button on the dishwasher. The location of this button will be different depending upon the specific model number of the dishwasher, but should be easy to spot. If you have trouble finding it, you can check the diagram in the manual of your dishwasher for the exact location for your specific model.
Press and hold down this "Energy Saver/Dry" button for at least four seconds. Make sure that you do not release the button until at least 4 seconds have passed, otherwise the lock will not become disabled.
Check to make sure that the child lock indicator light has turned off. If this light is no longer on, this means you were successful at turning off the child lock. If the light is still on, repeat the process, but try to press and hold the "Energy Saver/Dry" button for a few seconds longer. If it still doesn't work, there may be a more complicated issue with your dishwasher. Consult your manual, or call to the manufacturer or repair man to determine if there is another problem with your dishwasher.

that is because Sears highers nimrods. sorry for the honest answer but it is the truth. Just a tip any time you get a Sears tech in your home and the first thing they do is get on the phone with tech support it's a bad sign that they DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
I notice when there is that black substence inside it is because between the inside of the door they stick this rubber sticky thiing it'ss called a sound absorber and after time they dry up and fall between the door right into the dishwasher. this might be what is happening to you. The only thing that might help you is a heavy duty degresser and/or try 409 it works wonders. also you might want to take the door apart and check inside to see if it is crumbling. if it is remove it. it serves no functional purpose
Just curious did this happen after he repaired you door switch?
if yes this is more than likly what is happening
good luck i hope this helps
