My Kenmore dishwasher is about 8yrs old and all of a sudden it doesn't seem to do the wash cycle. It fills, makes some noise and then drains out. It had been cleaning poorly for a while prior to this. I am probably going to take it apart, just hoping for some idea on what to look for.

We live in a 2-bedroom apartment and if ours stopping working I'd complain and the apartment complex would remedy the problem.
By the sounds of it, call in a repairman for an estimate to see if it can be fixed. If it's going to cost too much money, trash it and buy a new one.
Have you checked out www.repairclinic.com? It's a great website for troubleshooting all your home appliances. And the best part is that it is free!
My dishwasher is 15 years old and still does a great job. Do you have hard water? If so, do you have a water softener? I've never taken apart a Kenmore washer,but I assume it has a bottom and top arm that sprays. I periodically take mine off of the dishwasher to check to make sure the holes are able to spray.
My dishwasher did this too. It turned out that I needed a new faucet. I've hadn't a problem since.
