My Dishwasher is a Frigidaire fdb1502rgb2 and is just over a year old I believe (can't find the receipt).

I ran into a problem this morning and it seems to persist as the day goes on.

When I try to run a load the dishwasher fills partially with water but sounds like it might be draining at the same time it is filling. I made sure all the filters on the inside were cleaned out and then I opened the bottom and the overfill float is not engaged but the dishwasher won't advance past the filling stage (except to drain).

It will try to do it a couple of times and when I have tried different types of washes it repeats the same issue.

Any Ideas?:confused:

ok, I killed the power at the fuse box for about an hour (had errands to run) came back and tried it replicated the same issue.

I then took my multimeter to it.

I will step you through what I am hearing/testing and what I think is the issue and you can let me know.

-Press start
-Dishwasher fills for correct time according to the chart you gave me (no draining and regular 7.3v on the drain motor)
-Place multimeter on circulation motor
-7.3v
-Dishwasher clicks at the top (assuming this is the control board)
-Circulation motor jumps to 123v and sits (no noise nothing)
-Dishwasher clicks again at the top
-Circulation motor drops back to 7.3v then repeats last couple steps a couple times
-Finally it gives up and drains at which time the drain motor makes noise and jumps to 123v

My best guess right now is that the Circulation motor has gone bad and is not actually kicking on.

Thoughts?

Finally got the part in and replaced the motor. This was the fix. It's running great now. Thanks for the advice and help
