Common Kenmore Pro dishwasher repairs
Even high-performance Kenmore Pro dishwashers can develop problems over time. Knowing the cause of an issue can help you make a quick repair.
Dishwasher won’t start
If your dishwasher won’t start, the door latch assembly could be damaged or not engaging the strike. Without a secure latch, the control won’t begin the cycle. Replace the door latch assembly if it’s worn or broken.
Dishwasher won’t fill
If your Kenmore Pro dishwasher won’t fill, start by checking that the water supply valve is open. Remove any obstructions from the overfill float so it can move freely—if it’s stuck in the highest position, water can’t enter the tub. A faulty float switch or inlet valve can also cause filling problems. If the inlet valve has failed, replace the water inlet valve to restore water flow.
Dishwasher not dispensing detergent
If the detergent dispenser doesn’t open during the cycle, detergent won’t reach your dishes. The latch mechanism could be worn, or the control board may not be triggering the release. In either case, installing a new detergent dispenser ensures detergent is released at the right time.
Dishwasher won’t drain
Standing water after the cycle often points to a faulty drain pump. If the pump doesn’t run or can’t push water out of the tub, replacing the drain pump will restore proper draining.

Kenmore Pro dishwasher FAQs
How do I get a spotless finish on glassware?
Hard water minerals cause most spots and streaks. Use a rinse aid, run a hot water cycle, and avoid overloading so spray arms can reach all surfaces.
Why is my Kenmore Pro dishwasher making loud noises?
Grinding or rattling sounds may come from worn pump bearings, a failing motor, or loose spray arms. Remove foreign objects and replace worn components to quiet operation.
Why does my dishwasher run too long?
Faulty sensors, a clogged filter, or a malfunctioning control board can extend cycle times. Cleaning the filter and testing sensors can restore normal operation.
Check the heating element, use a rinse aid, and open the door slightly after the cycle to let steam escape. Proper loading also prevents water from collecting on dishes.
Why is water sitting in the bottom of my Kenmore Pro dishwasher?
If water remains after draining, the drain hose could be kinked or the pump impeller blocked. Clearing the obstruction restores proper drainage.
