The problem is the timer unit. It is defective and needs to be replaced.

Check the inlet valve underneath front access panel it is clogged. You will have to purchase a new one. Rate me if I am correct!

Did you check if dishwasher is leveled?

hi could be two things... 1 could be you have food or broken glass in pump..it wont spin if anything there... u need to unplug from mains ...undo filter and remove ..you may have a larg metal filter remove too... you now have access to pump sump area... empty all water left in there with cup... it might SMELL :) when pretty much empty run VERY GENTLY around bottom of pump well... could be broken glass so do it slowley ... remve aything in there .. you will find a hole at bottom put finger in and turn propeller pump see if its stuck.. it it turns .and nothing is in way.. put back together and test dishwasher on quick wash.. if still not emptying change pump..mark 07779933829 ===== TURN OFF AND UNPLUG FIRST=====

It is possible that the machine does not start off the cycle because there are errors or feedback from the inputs. For the program to start up the main program controller must initiate the INLET/PUMP MOTOR/DRAIN to work when it is commanded .If this does not happen then the voltage at these points must be checked or the fault relates to no voltage/drive from the controller. This means the controller is a suspect.

If the water flows then the flow should be good, if not the inlet valve is bad or there is dirt in the filter. Also check the flow at the inlet of the water line. What is most important for the motor to start functioning is that the door switch must be ON when the door is shut or this will be an error for starting the motor. The water pressure must be good and the spraying must be seen to be good. If there is low pumping or pressure then the spray arms will not turn around to inject with pressure. If so the pump must be checked for clogging.

Finally after the wash the drain valve will be activated, the water is allowed to come in to rinse and then finally the drain valve/pump activated so as to drain off all the water.

Make sure that a fault in any of the cycle will relate to the specified action, so check the command from the program module and then the executing device be it the valve or motor or pump.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

The fix will be replacement of timer motor, that will cost you around $120 if you do it yourself, so the unit might cost you around $200, think if it's worth for you or not. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

Sorry to read about your problem.
Their is a 60% chance that your cold water inlet valve is stuck. 30% that you water leval sensor is defective.
I suggest you contact a local service company to repair your problem, this should be 1 hour or less service call.
