Eleven parts guides, and the wash motor is the one worth naming first: it is what drives water through the spray arms, so it owns the complaint people are most likely to misattribute. Beside it are the vent fan for drying, the filter, the heating element, the water inlet valve, the door latch, the door gasket, the switch, the sensor, the thermostat and the control board. There is no drain pump entry in this set, which is worth knowing before you go looking for one.
Sort the complaint by which stage of the cycle it belongs to. Dishes coming out dirty is circulation, and the order is filter, then spray holes, then the wash motor, because water that is not being thrown at the load will not clean it however hot it gets. Nothing filling is the inlet valve, after the supply and its screen. Wet dishes at the end are the vent fan and the thermostat rather than the heating element straight away. Standing water starts at the filter, which this hub does cover.
A dishwasher has no gas line and no sealed refrigerant circuit, which leaves two places to stop. Line voltage reaches the junction box and is live with the door open, so the breaker comes off rather than the cycle being cancelled. The control board is the other. EasyBear services Whirlpool dishwashers across Sacramento and the Bay Area when the part is identified but the access outweighs the job.
