Hello, I have a Samsung StormWash Dishwasher: DW80K5050UG, and over the last few months the cleaning cycle has been a bit louder, but this morning we ran it and started smelling a burning smell. We stopped the cycle, and I manually emptied the water in the dishwasher. i cleaned up some debris below the bottom spinner, and filter, and now the spin arms aren't spinning for the top or bottom rack. I can hear clicking as if an electrical component was trying to run but then stopped. I can run cyles, and the basin will fill with some water, and the drain pump will pull the water out still at the end of the cycle, but the spin arms are still in the same position as at the beginning of the cycle and I dont hear any water coming through them.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I'm sorry to hear that, do you see any error codes or flashing lights on the dishwasher? Also how long have you had this dishwasher?

Thanks SamsungCaleb. I have had this dishwasher just over 2 years. No error codes are flashing unfortunately. At present, my best guess is that either the capacitor went bad or the circulation pump, or both. Is there a part list/ is there a good way to confirm the parts for those if i were to order them? I used a pretty basic multimeter on the capacitor and did not show any signs of life. But I also don't know if I needed a multimeter for microfarads to pick up a reading on this scecific capactor.
