On the glass make sure there is no hair at the bottom in the groove where it mates into the plastic but you'll probably need to change the bellow the round grey seal

The hose that runs from the dispenser to the tub or big grey seal has something in it or the dispenser is cracked

Check the inside of the drum. Chances are, there is a sharp object pointing out that is doing this.

Check the water loading valve.

there is a spring style clamp holding it to the front panel simply peel back slightly and "pop" it off, then holding it to the inner tub is a screw style clamp, depending on yr of production, either a 5/32 scrwe or a phillips, holding it in the 2 oclock position, release clamp andreinstall boot, it might take some time to get to fit backaround hte tub but itll bo, you gotta walk it on in spots ( like changing a tireon the bikes as a kid) itlll strectch over the rim and fit, just have to work it

I just wanted to confirm stopgo's solution. A few notes/elaborations:

1. Open the front door of the washer, and run your hand behind the big, gray rubber gasket. You might feel/see small items stuck there.
2. If you kneel in front of the washer and look along the very bottom edge, you'll see 3 screws in a row. They are of the "torx" type. Unscrew them and then jiggle out the bottom panel. Inside you'll see a large plastic (off-white color) drain, and you can unscrew the 3-inch diameter cap off it and pull it out. The backside of the cap is a filter. Clear it out and put it back in. (We found a baby sock there).
   

Note also that when you pull out the bottom panel and look inside the cavity of the machine, there is a special manual for service technicians, stuck on the inside wall. I pulled that out -- there were some interesting/helpful information on that sheet telling you how to troubleshoot problems, including checking the drain filter.

Funny that the instructions for checking the drain filter cannot be accessed until you open the bottom panel to check the drain filter!

You could connect cold to both hot and cold washer connections by using a hose wye fitting . If the hot and cold supply faucets both open together you will have to cap the hot faucet. Hope this helps.

i figured it out with my washing machine, take off the top lid (7mm 3 screws in the back) there is a black and burgundy sensor on the top left side, take off the black hose, turn the sensor clock wise 1/4 turn, lift out and blow into the part where the hose was connected to, (I did this while it was running to test it) sure enough it started draining... (its a pressure sensor i guess) and it still works so i took off the back of the washing machine and found that the black hose had a split in it. i had a compressing coupling so i cut out the bad part of the hose and coupled it back together now it works :) p.s. the hose is about a 1/4 inch line and i think its surgical hose, and wash it out mine was filled with junk... hope it helps

The electronic control panel has gotten wet and needs to be replaced (about $200 for parts plus about $200 for service call/labor) I just had mine replaced about 10 month ago, stopped using the type of dishwasher soap I had based on Maytag Service staff recommendation, stopped using hot wash to prevent high condensation at the door and now its broken again and in need of a new control panel again. You may be money ahead to go buy a new dishwasher that does not have the plastic encased control panel at the top. My understanding is the control panels are poorly engineered and made for most dishwasher manufactures by one of the mega electronic/appliance companies.
