Danby 22 in. DDW399 Free-standing Dishwasher Questions & Answers
Won't fill
you need to turn the dishwasher upside down so that the water that is still there from the overflowing of the suds comes out. once you get that water out it should work fine.
Danby counter top dishwasher leaks
This might help with disassembly. Mine was leaking also, but my main problem was no spray. Use my disassembly instructions to remove the pump/motor. If you notice that the leakage is from the pump and not a loose connection, remove the pump cover and apply a thin bead of Blue RTV sealant to the rubber ring. This stopped the leak in my pump.
________________________________
My Danby dishwasher (DW) stopped working. The spray arm
stopped spinning completely and very little water was coming out of the arm.
When I removed the spray arm (CAUTION: reverse threaded, turn CW to loosen and CCW
to tighten) and ran the DW, very little water was spraying out of the pump.
I thought maybe the pump was clogged. So, I followed the
recommendations I had seen online about running a few cycles with Vinegar to
clear the crud from the pump, but this did not help.
It seemed like the motor was operating, and there were no
strange smells to indicate the motor was burned…just no water spraying. So I
thought it must be the pump. Before disassembly, I tried to locate a
replacement pump. I searched far and wide, both locally and online, and could
not locate a replacement pump. So with nothing to lose, I decided to
disassemble the DW, take a look and see what I could find. I am glad that I
did.
The bottom line is that I disassembled the dishwasher and
found that the plastic pump impeller had worked its way off the pump shaft and
was not turning. I forced some Teflon plumbers tape over the shaft and forced
the impeller back onto the shaft. The impeller has a flat spot to line up with
the shaft and I pushed the impeller down on the shaft as far as it would go. I then
used a small socket to fit over the shaft and GENTLY tapped the impeller for a
final seating. I reassembled the dishwasher and it worked like a charm.
Since I could not find any service manual or instructions
online for this DW, I thought I would share my disassembly/reassembly
procedure.
Since my instructions are too long to post here, a complete repair document including a link to pictures can be found at:

Check and make sure that there is nothing blocking the pump inlet underneath the mesh removable filter. It should be making a whirring sound like it's trying to pull water in in a cycle. If it's not making that noise your pump is shot.
There is not a hook
Hello Barry. I have this same model and I solved the problem by going to an appliance repair store and buying a hook. Joe
I have a westin house dishwasher and it will not
The problem is hard water. There is a new product out called the dishwasher filtration system. It filters the water before it enters your dishwasher. It works amazing and has a money back guarantee. You will love the way your dishes look after the first load. It is also very affordable (like 70 bucks). Go to www.dishwasherfilter.com to find out more info.
Ordering parts
Go to Lowes or Home Deopot, or any Large Appliance-dealing retailer. If they don't have them right there, they can order them for you.
Water pours into dishwashe and spills out when not running
sounds like you have a bad water valve solenoid, however their is a float switch on inside btm floor frt of dish washer that senses the level and cuts off the valve, however if the valve is bad then it will never shut off. good thing you were home. i would replace the water valve, that is located behind the front access panel . hope this helps
