Interesting review, RayVee. Let's go ahead and take a further look into the dishwasher and how to get it back on track. When a cycle is started, the dishwasher will first attempt to drain excess water left over from previous cycles. This will cause the dishwasher to sound like it is working, although no water is actually filling the unit yet. This is normal. After the unit runs a drain cycle (approximately 35 seconds), it will then proceed with the selected wash cycle. Here is a link to "Samsung dishwasher does not start or fill with water": https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01000965/ I also shared this link about "Dishwasher won't start a cycle": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCin9FqQ3xI You may also refer to this link about "Samsung dishwasher cycles, options, and settings": https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00084182/ For reference, I also added this link about: Samsung dishwasher cycle takes a long time to finish: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01001909/ Should you need more assistance, please feel free to get back to us via the following options: 1.
