I have a whirlpool dishwasher. It seems that it's getting enough water and sounds like its working but the upper arm is not spinning.
Check to see if you are getting enough water.should be about 1/2 under the heater.if you are getting enough then check the chopper this is under the lower spray arm.could be broken.
you did not give the model # but is there 4 screws under the spray arm you will see 3 of them and the 4th will be under the tube that goes up to the upper spray arm, remove them and then you will find one or to moe before you get to the chopper..again this depends on your model.
ok ben i just looked up your model # yes take out the 3 screws then you cab twist off the tub if you move the tube that goes up the back to the right you can pop that tube off. there is your 4th screw. then when you pull that cover off there will be another screwtake that panel out then finelly one more screw take that off and theres the chopper,if that is full of food then it is broken.You can look up the model # at

Hi
If you
are noticing that the dishes are not clean, then there are a few things to
check for. Check the soap powder if it's kept in a dry environment. Also try
replacing the powder with something like a gel or liquid. Next thing to check
for is the water pressure and fill valve. Check if the water is filling in and
the spray arms are throwing the water with enough pressure. Try and listen to
the sound if you hear a proper spraying action sound.
If it
seems as a low water pressure then check the fill valve. Now, check if
dishwasher is draining the water or not. While the dishwasher is working check
whether the dishwasher is draining and there is not much left out water after
the cycle is complete. Try cleaning the spray arm with a soft brush. The water
temperature plays a major role in cleaning of dishes. The temp should be
between 125 and 150 F for dishwasher to clean the dishes. Hope this helps...

It is getting water and its about to the heating element. What is a chopper? I removed the bottom arm and theres nothing that i can see that is wrong.

I have a whirlpool model GU1500XTLQ1. After I remove the 3 screws will I be able to get to the fourth or do I have to remove the tube.
Ben
i removed the screws and ws able to get to the chopper. I found a piece of plastic jammed between the blade and housing. I removed it and it's running pretty good. Thanks for the Help.
PS It looks like the door gasket is wearing down, Is it difficult to change?
Thanks again,
Ben
