I've tried running it, and opening the door mid cycle to see what's going on, and there's no sprayer action. Looks/sounds like it fills, and then drains just fine, but not spraying at all. Any ideas? I'm pretty solid at repairing most anything, but curious if this is something an above average homeowner/handyman can tackle. Thank you!

Unfortunately after running the first cycle, I got a flashing Clean light. Did a reset on the control panel and got it started up again, and the water isn't heating. Is there something I may have done wrong, or accidentally disconnected during the sump/motor replacement? Thanks again.
