Dishwasher suddenly isn't cleaning. Control panel works, sounds like it's running it's cycle, but nothing gets cleaned. I've tried running it, and opening the door mid cycle to see what's going on, and there's no sprayer action. Looks/sounds like it fills, and then drains just fine, but not spraying at all.

Any ideas? I'm pretty solid at repairing most anything, but curious if this is something an above average homeowner/handyman can tackle. Thank you!

Hello Barberd. It sounds like the sump assembly on the unit will need to be replaced. Here is the part number for you. Part number: AP5962283

Watched the video, and that looks like the right fix. Unfortunately, the part is out of stock, but thanks a ton. I'll see if I can find one.

Replaced the sump/motor and that definitely fixed the problem. Thank you for the great advice!! Unfortunately after running the first cycle, I got a flashing Clean light. Did a reset on the control panel and got it started up again, and the water isn't heating. Is there something I may have done wrong, or accidentally disconnected during the sump/motor replacement? Thanks again.

Check the wiring to the heater and the thermostat. Make sure they are on the terminals good. Also, look at where it goes into the door and make sure none of the wires got damaged.

thanks Jeff! Must have been a fluke thing. I re-ran the dishwasher, and it heated up just fine. Have run a couple cycles and it seems to have no issues.
