The easiest to check is low fill. Most units fill to just under the heating element. After a fill add a couple quarts of hot water. Be careful to not overfill the unit. Now if it washes OK I would say you have a low fill problem. The most likely cause is a partially plugged screen filter which is built into the input side of the fill valve. Remove the valve from the unit and check/clean the screen filter. Do not permanently remove it from the valve as it is there to keep crud out of the valve which could hold it open and cause a flood. If low fill is not the problem, dismantle the pump and check/clean the filters, the chopper and the impeller.
