Does anyone know what would cause my Kenmore DW to stick on "sensing" when turned on?

After a short while - it makes a humming noise like there is current draw but know action.

It starts humming the time the pump usually kicks in.

Motor - Capacitor - Sensor - All 3?

Thanks in Advance ~

Hi Rob,

The first thing I would do is check for a foreign objects inside the pump and the chopper assembly. You can find the complete instructions in one of our previous posts: whirlpool dishwasher

Thanks for your help - AGAIN!

You have saved me quite a bit of money with your technical expertise.

I had to replace the motor/pump assembly on my Kenmore/Whirlpool DW.

The motor was very corroded and the fault of the unit. What will prevent the new motor from being corrupted in the same way as the OEM? Within 3 years? This is more of a Kenmorw response.

Thanks again!

Rob
