Water is not spraying well while dishwasher is
You have to remove the sprayer arm, it's cover, and the cover underneath that located on the bottom of the dishwasher, inside the dishwasher. If you find a large amount of grease/food under these covers then you are not rinsing your dishes enough before placing in the washer.
The disposal unit in these units are nothing more than a cheap metal blade spinning over a metal grate. Anything tougher than a piece of cake and it's frosting runs the risk of breaking the gears that drives this.
Clean all the food/grease that you can access. Be careful while removing the gunk, I have found glass shards from broken dishes. Locate the disposal impeller and screen. It can be removed. Inspect it for damage and reinstall after cleaning.
Your water flow can be restricted if this is plugged.
Is there any grease points for the door hinges?
Hello. Get a can of a penetrating lubricant called WD-40 with a tiny tube applicator included. Open the door and you will see part of each hinge where the door meets the appliance case. Spray the penetrating lube on the exposed part of the hinge and then open and close the door a few times. Repeat as necessary. J.
My kitchenaid dishwasher has a bottom rack
Hello. If you have a new rack and new wheels the only fix to your problem is to either replace the dishwasher all together or NOT put as many items in the bottom rack. I am always bothered when anyone tells me they were sold a new rack because they are so expensive [usually over one hundred dollars] and generally once the racks start to go, the rest of the dishwasher is not far behind. j.
Waterless dishwasher
It is possible an inlet hose is kinked or trapped behind the machine. If they look ok, then there is actually small filter fitted at the front of the inlet to the machine. Turn off water and undo the hose to the machine. - remove filter with pliars and clean.
I suggest using spray polish on the connector prior to replacing it - it makes life easier and avoids ripping the seal.It's a basic silicone lubricant.
Start button does not work, cancel button gives life but no actio
Generally with the push button models they get confused and don't know what cycle they are in. I have many of these at the Apartments where I am the Maintenance Supervisor. I have not had to repair one of these dishwashers. The easiest fix is to reset it. Reach under the sink and unplugged it for about 30 seconds to a Minute then plug it back in. You should be just fine after you do that.
Pump noise
Hi,
If the noise is present for about 2 minutes at a time then goes away then the issues could be with the drain pump.
If the noise is there for most of the wash and rinse cycle could be the main bearing on the motor that is failing, this is due to a leaking main seal, if this the case you would need to replace the pump and motor assembly. This same noise could also be from food or other debris stuck around the chopper area that can be cleaned out. I have put together some instructions on how to clean out the sump around the chopper if you are interested in trying. Here is the link.

Reattaching sprayer arm?
This is a backward (left hand) thread, when you put the spray arm back on to the nut turn the nut to the left.
If you need more information this link shows how to clean out the sump (which you do not necessarily need) but it also has a picture of how the lower spray arm pieces fit that might be helpful.
Broken door spring on Kitchenaid dishwasher
you have to pull the unit totally out so you can access both sides of the machine you can order the parts from either marcone or allbrands applaince they mail the parts directly to you when you have the unit out you will be able to see its an easy fix of just replacing springs and cord if im remebering correctly theres only two 1/4 screws to loosen one on each side you will be replacing the glide rollers also in the kit they send you with the cord are the glide rollers
