Washer is about 1.5 years old. 10 months in it stopped washing dishes, had a guy come out under warranty and replaced something. Dont know what I wasnt home. Worked again.
Now I am seeing the wash tablet not dissolving and dishes not being cleaned and the dishwasher sits idle for a long time between drain cycles.
Im testing it in 1 hr wash mode. I checked the pump by putting 120V to it and it runs. The top arm spins and puts out a good stream.
Basically, it will do the initial purge, then fill, then do a wash (i can hear and feel the water splashing around up top) does that for about 3 mins, then stops, sits idle for about 10 mins, then drain. then nothing for 10 mins. Fills, does nothing for 10 mins, drains.
Then maybne 1 or 2x more it will run the wash pump for 3 mins. But for the most part it sits idle.
Dishes not getting fully cleaned and the tablet isnt dissolving.
Strange issue to me. Seems like the wash motor just isnt getting commanded on..What would cause it to not get the on command?
