Hi everyone,

I was hoping someone could help me out. My dishwasher will fill and drain but will not wash. Water comes out but it seems to only be at the bottom. I checked the washer blades and the bottom one seems to move a bit but looks like little pressure. I took the bottom apart and cleaned everything out. When I took the filter cover off thats just under the washer blade, it was full of black "soot" looking stuff that had to be scrubbed of.

I am thinking its the motor that needs to be replaced but would appreciate some thoughts.

Thank you

Have you found a solution to your dishwasher? I'm having the exact same issue. Looks like I get a lot of water being pumped into the washer arms but not enough to make them spin. They barely move and spin great when spun by hand.

Hi ohm,



Thanks for all of your input. So something interesting happened. I decided to take out the water inlet valve to take a look. When i disconnected the black hose that feeds water into the dishwasher, the water drained back out onto a paper towel and covered it with a black charcoal like substance. i have attached a photo.

Just an update. I fixed my dishwasher, the water inlet valve was faulty, the black in the dishwasher is a different issue. I need to get the hose replaced.
