SOURCE: Dishwasher will not start
Check the drain pan area under the dishwasher, if it full of water it will trip a float switch and run the drain pump until the water evaporates or is removed by a shop vac.

Joel, it's hard to tell whats going on here without the full model number. The number you posted should start with a 665, 363,587 or 464. Here is a couple of things to look for. It sounds like you have a seperate drain pump. Remove the bottom toe panel and hopefully there will be a tech sheet behind it. Check the harness to the motor itself. You want to verify that there is 120V going to it when the wash motor should be running. If you hear the motor humming and kicking out on the overload, then we can assume you have something stuck in the impeller or the motor is bad itself. The tech sheet will give you a diagram for the hot and nuetral. Check the float switch inside the tub, it should move freely up and down. This is a safety device to insure the dishwasher does not overfill. If this is a 665, there will be a start capacitor on the left side of the wash motor. If one of the wires came off the cap, the motor won't run. Regarding the door switches, if you have 120V going to the motor during the wash cycle, you can assume the door switches are o.k. Hope this gets you started in the right direction...Catriver.

The intake/drain light blinks. How do I fix this problem?

I had the same problem. There is no way of replacing seal/joint between pump and motor. It can't be taken apart w/o destroying parts, it only comes as an assembly. Costs around 130$ for pump/motor assy, so it might not be worth it.

Hi
Dishwasher not draining issue usually occurs due
to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. First make sure that
the drain is not clogged and remove clogs if present. If no visible lint is
present then remove the lower front access panel to check the drain filter and
drain pump for any clogs, you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump
completely. Also, check for any food pieces stuck near the pump impeller &
clean the chopper assembly. Please note that dishwashers don't drain out the
complete water such that heating element doesn't overheat. Hope this helps...
Please post back for any further assistance.
