Detergent just drips down the inside wall undissolved. Changed out the feed water/solenoid, and all filters etc are clean. Motor, impellar (supply) and everything else are fine, including water pressure and temperatuer. Bottom stays filled below level of heating coil. Unit looks like new and I hate to throw it away if it is just a small minor problem. Could the motor be bad even though it seems to be running fine. Any other ideas. Thanks.

We sell this as a repair kit. Here is the part number for what you will need. Part number: AP3160640 Motor & pump replacement parts for FRIGIDAIRE FDB989GFC2 Dishwasher \| AppliancePartsPros.com

In other words, if it runs without noises it's not the problem? Or could it be running too slowly? Or is there a control that begins to send water up the tube that feeds the upper spray arm but then shuts off prematurely?
