My MAGIC CHEF COUNTERTOP DISHWASHER fills and empties water; however no spray arm movement or washing sound. I hear a mild continual electric buzz sound when it’s supposed to be washing. I don’t think water is being moved through the dishwasher properly. The dishes come out still dirty :/ I removed the drain/filter area and cleaned. Still the same. I needed to absorb some water in the drzin after machine finished draining. Any ideas? I love this machine. It has served us faithfully for about 3 1/2 years.

Hi @ladyrocc, What is the model number of the dishwasher? Seems as though there’s a problem with the circulation pump. Water being pumped through the spray arms causes them to rotate. A buzzing sound could be a faulty start winding capacitor connected to the pump motor but this may depend on what type of motor is installed. Not all motors have or need them. Knowing the model number will help.
