Whirlpool dishwasher when set to "normal" water fills into machine - inlet valve voltage 120V - and water heard entering machine. Water level just below heating element - sensing and washing lights are on. Dishwasher "hums" then stops after 3 or 4 minutes with now wash cycle started. Can cancel cycle, and water drains. Dishwasher is about 5 years old.

Hi,
Something may be jammed in your chopper screen or motor impeller, or your motor is out. Here's the repair manual for your model: https://secured.whirlpool.com/Service/SrvTechAdm.nsf/2cd44500d572193285256a45004fd9d6/52521bdbd0ef763c85256cbc00520548/$FILE/8178022.pdf Page 17 Read 1-4 where it says this: SERVICING COMPONENTS INSIDE THE WASH TUB Removing the Inner Feed Tube and Lower Spray Arm Then on Page 21 it starts to get into detail of how to access the rest where it says this: Accessing Components of the Sump Assembly It shows how to get access to the chopper screen and check valve. Here's the chopper assembly for your model, in case you need to order it: Chopper Part#8268383 ![]() If that checks ok, then you would need to go further and check your motor. Here's the sump/motor assembly for your model: Part#8535150 Here's the motor alone: Part#8534942 Jake

Thanks for teh quick reply - I ended up removing the main motor -the center shaft doesn't turn at all. I am guessing this means it is completely seized up - and the motor needs replacing ??

Yup, you'll need a new motor or the sump/motor assembly.
