Ours did the same thing and needed the seals replaced where the racks plug in. The water wasn't getting up to the top rack because the seal was allowing water to squirt out f it.

It sounds like the hose at the rear of the top shelf has come unconnected. Pull the top shelf out when the washer is empty and take a look. If the hose has come apart you should be able to push it back together. Good luck with it.

Dishwasher

basic checks:
is water entering into the machine.
is it hot.
is it being heated during pre-wash
is the soap being dispensed
is the pump running when cycling?
do the arms turn freely?

you mentioned the top and bottom shelves. are there places where the dishes 'are' being cleaned?, or are you meaning that in general they are not being cleaned at all?

most of the above indicators are observable by stopping the wash cycle from time to time in various modes.
to see if water is being pumped at all, put a bowl on the top and bottom shelf, and nothing else. if there is water in it after it cycles then the pump is moving at least some water.
start with these observations and please report back
good luck

Maytag dishwasher latch

If it like mine, the latch is out of adjustment and you need to give it a whack with your hip to start it. If I adjust the latch looser, it leaks.
