This may be due to the pump, but may also depend on the water supply. I still had dirt in the dishwasher, but the valve was not working. After the replacement, everything was fine. I already use the second year and there are no breakdowns yet.

Same thing happened with my Kenmore. Water would fill the base but would not spray. Wash cycle would complete without washing dishes. I unplugged the power cable to the large pump and attached my volt meter. Then started the wash cycle and when the pump should have come on I measured 120V, so control board was working and it indicated the pump was not working. I pulled washer out and flipped on its back to remove the pump. just 3 screws. I found that the screen on the pump had come apart and caused the pump to jam. I removed the filter and put the pump back on to test it. I ran wash cycle and the pump worked and water sprayed. I would not leave with out filter to wash dishes as it cleans the water during wash cycle. I ordered $60 filter to fix problem instead of $300 pump.

My daughter's dishwasher is not spraying water. I have replaced the water inlet valve and tested the float switch. The filters and spray arms are clean.
When I do the 1hr cycle. water enters the dishwasher and fills it to 1 to 2 inches. I hear humming and clicking and at the 1hr mark it drains and finishes. There is still some grime left on the bottom indicating that no water was sprayed.
I am assuming that the pump is defective.
I am open to suggestions...
