Dishwasher humming noise during wash. washes good but humming noise all during wash

humming can be the motors or the rubber supports are lose happens as the devices get older, if its annoying you just need to go round re tightening the screws and bolts so they tight again. can also be that the washer is not level and use will drop it down and need releverling and screwing the screws down tight.

Water in bottom of dishwasher

You have two issues, the first being that there is a GASKET failure or a sump hose or drain pump leak. Check this out with a good light beneath the machine.
Secondly the program controller switch is too tight and so needs this leverage, use some light oil to make this action smooth. If not the multi-switch is faulty.

The supply water connection on the bottom of the dishwasher has an ever so slight leak. Not the compression part, but the larger connection that goes directly into the dishwasher. The directions say not to...

Hello, W/D here.
Sometimes you just have to pull the fitting back out, and start again. That's about where we are now. Shut the water off, disconnect the supply line and remove the fitting from the dishwasher. Clean the old teflon off of the fitting and the connection on the dishwasher. While holding the fitting in your left hand, with the threads facing right, wrap the threads, going over the top away from you, three wraps.
Then re-install. Too loose would be movable by hand, and too tight would be approaching "I can't go any further". Somewhere in between, there's a point where the fitting gets firm, and you can feel that it's getting tighter. At that point, get it into the correct position for installing your supply line. What you don't want is to have to make nearly another full rotation of the fitting to get it into position if it's nearly there before that. You don't want it so tight that you might crack the fitting or the connection on the dishwasher. Just take your time, work by feel, and gauge where the fitting needs to be, balanced against how tight you want it.
Best regards, --W/D--

My dishes are not coming clean, grit and particles are stick to the bottom of the glasses when cycle is finished. Would this be a filter problem?

My wife had the same problem which was fixed by changing detergent and appeared to be caused by hard water. Make sure the screen/filter in the bottom area is clean. It may help to run an empty cycle with detergent and white vinegar to remove hard water deposits from the screen/filter. Hope this helps!
