Left dirty stuff in dishwasher

Put some bits in dishwasher including air fryer which had burger fat and juices etc
put it on and went away , 4 days later came home and still dirty but wet so dishwasher def put on, put it on again and came out same. It appears the dishwasher spray arms not moving. Would you just handwash all again? For now i wiped off the food residue and chucked in bin and have just put dishwasher on again but placed items over the jets so they get wet as its late and i don’t have enough hot water to wash up tonight. Thought maybe at least heat will kill any germs, now wiped off the fat and food residue.
dishwashers not even very old but from experience seems to cost more to repair than buy a new one, appliances never seem to last long in our house.

Well yes you need to hand wash them. Can you not boil a kettle for hot water if you've got none in the tap? You need to fix or replace or scrap the dishwasher, which means washing up your own crockery. What's the alternative?

Is your filter dirty?

Also are you sure the spray arms aren’t blocked?
