1st check for food build up under the filter, just shine a flash light through the holes front left side at the edge of your filter. This area is the water intake for the wash arms.
Testimonial: "You did not see my comment that the water fills and drains without problem and the motor does not run"
SOURCE: Dishes not thourghly cleaned on top sheelve
generally dishwashers rely on the pressure supplied by the water supply line. check to see if it is enough or if inlet pipe is of sufficient diameter for needed flow.in some instances i know of seperate lines needing to be run directly instead of coming off of supply to sink area.
SOURCE: Dishsoap stays in soap dispenser
We had problems with soap remaining in the dispenser and dishes not getting clean when we used gel dish doap. We changed to the cakes of soap with a Jet Dry Power Ball in the middle, and now they clean fine.

Try this... Wipe out the soap dish with white vinegar and a soft cloth.. make sure you get everything off the edges of the door and look for any nicks, blemishes or deformation of the dispenser door to make sure it is not mechanically binding up when it is cycled open. If Ok.. then.. clean your drain filter.. then.. start a wash cycle using the hottest setting ( without any dishes) .. and after about 10 minutes or so.. stop the process and open the door and add in 2 cups of white vinegar.. Let it complete the wash cycle.. When complete..try running a dishless cycle on any setting with detergent ( use about 1/3 less than you usually use) and see if that dispense adequately. If that works, then the next time you load the washer. make sure you don't have anything up against or limiting the door from opening. Hope this helps..

if the bottom tub is filling with water but not washing the issues is with the wash motor, some of this model use a start capacitor that can fail, if it has a capacitor on the side of the motor it may have failed but are difficult to diagnose but are cheap to replace so worth trying, if this doesn't help or if it doesn't have a capacitor then the fault is with the wash motor.
Testimonial: "I'm going to spend this Sunday morning uninstalling completely and checking out the motor...and...if present....the capacitor. If it has a capacitor I'm going to try replacing that....if not....I'm not going to try replacing the motor... For about $100 more I can buy a bran new dishwaher. This one is only 3 years old....Very disappointed in my first whirlpool product....but a new one could be the way to go. I can install that myself no problem. Thanks so much. I'll let you know if it was the capacitor"

I checked the grinder and it spins freely, nothing found.
