Replaced inlet pump already and has worked good for a while. Recently it started to not run the wash cycle. I would reset panel and it would run fine for a few days. Getting water and drains fine. No wash through the arms during cycles. Checked float and checked wiring for anything loose. Diagnostic said 6-4 code but again my float clicks and moves freely. I pulled out the other day because now it stopped wash cycle completely even after reset and hard reset at beaker. Did a hard reset and diagnostic. On diagnostic the pump and arm I could here working. Ran a normal cycle and again just fills and drains and fills and sits till the end. Plenty of humidity and heat when I open door but not clean and no wash cycle is heard. Could it be control panel. Again pump worked once on diagnostic so I don’t think it’s that

Cancel-Drain works fine. I’ve replaced the sump and motor and the control board but still getting a 4-3 error, which is not showing up in any searches.

A lot comments mentioned the door actuator not making good contact with the door latch switch in this thread that describes the problem .

Whirlpool Dishwasher stops after filling with water

Model #KDTE104ESS4

Another clue-burnt wires leading to control board (disconnected during control board installation)

Thanks for responding. Yes filter is clean.

I don’t think the sprayer arms are moving any water. The tub fills and sometimes sounds like it’s working but top rack not wet.
