I have a 2003 kitchenaid dishwasher that the water is not going into? However,The motor is running. What happened?

SOURCE: won't start

It sounds like you have a food blockage or some blockage between where the water fills up and where it goes into the pump you need to take out the water wand (the rotating thing with water coming out) only the bottom one. You need to unscrew the water wand and make sure nothing is blocking in there.

If not then check your filter which should be next to the water wand remove it and then clean it and make sure nothing in in there to block water getting through.

If you have any questions please dont hesitate to ask

SOURCE: dishwasher motor makes like a grinding noise on start up

Hi. This grinding or hum can be associated with internal electric motor failure. the grinding and humming sounds are warning signs that will ultimately, lead to total failure.The actual term we in the industry use is A.C. hum. This will occur when the internal electric motor windings begin to break apart from the center housing inside the motor casing. this will disrupt the current flow, causing over heating. the grinding is because of the alignment that has been disturbed as well. The solution is to prepare for the replacement of the electrical motor or, you can repair it.

please rate and have a great day.

Hola Lewis!

This is such an easy repair, you'll be shocked and surprised! The reason this is happening is that the computer or timer has detected a "flood" condition and has permanently energized the drain pump to clear the "flood".

What you'll need to fix it...
1.) Shop-Vac (for vacuuming water) with a crevice tool (like one of these)
2.) T20 Torx bit with a driver. Torx sizing here. (You can get a set at Home Depot or Lowes)

All you gotta do now is get down on the floor and remove the kick panel. Then remove the screws holding the water valve and lift it up out of its' plastic holding. Now your shop-vac w/ crevice tool can be used. Stick the crevice tool in there (about 10") and vacuum up all the water that's been trapped in the basin. (you may need a flashlight to see what's going on back in there...) After the water is gone, your DW will work fine.

Here's how it works... About 10" behind the inlet valve is a "float" made of styrofoam. When water gets into the basin, the float rises and eventually trips a "flood condition" switch. This switch shuts the unit down and will only allow the drain pump to operate. So what you want to do is get the water out of the basin.

There may be a reason for the basin flooding, though. Suds (caused by too much (or the wrong) detergent), an actual water leak from the valve, etc... So after you get the water out of there and the unit is working again, you may want to monitor it (like, only run it when someone is home) for a while just to make sure that a real flood does not occur.

Hope this helps.

remove the front cover plate. it can be popped off. you should be able to see the white gear moving. if not wiggle the white gear side to side front to back. if the motor moves you have bad contacts. these contacts are located on the underside of that gear. you can also check voltage to the motor. the inside of the front cover indicates test points for water valve motor etc. if you have power and no movement it is either the motor or contacts. if you have no power this requires further indepth investigation.

There is a recall on the control board of many of these models, butyour problem is likely not related. I have written a guide to help. It is here. Thanks!
