I have tried adding water with no different results. I have tested the water inlet valve for electrical continuity. The float appears to be working correctly. I have tried Dishwasher Magic to reduce the food particles. The water temperature is plenty hot. Anxiously awaiting a possible solution. What is the expected life span of this dishwasher? Thanks for your help.

Remove the upper dish rack and the water supply tube. Remove the pump outlet (#14 at the diagram) and check the impellers. Gene.
