Dishwasher fills with water, never starts.

Hello- I am troubleshooting my dishwasher- it fills with water and drains just fine but the spinners don't spin and the washer doesn't wash. It seems to maybe run through a whole "cycle" on 1 hour clean. From what @Jake says it is likely the wash circulation pump but there seem to be two items called out with almost a $100 difference

and

I ran a diagnostic cycle to just see if it just fixed itself, which it did not, though i was not there to watch every step, nor do i fully understand how to decipher the error codes. i'm not sure exactly how old it is, as it came with the house and we have only owned the house for 2 years

Any help further diagnosing is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

I'm having the same problem with my WDF330PAHW2. Have you fixed yours? If so, what was the fix?

Hi,

WDF330PAHW2

Your unit has 2 motors...one for draining only and one for washing only.
Is the wash motor not running?

Power to the wash motor but it is not running normally = New Sump and Motor Assembly
No power to the wash motor when it should be running, normally = New Control Electric
