Several hours after a wash cycle when I open the dishwasher and pull out the top rack, one side of the arm "pours" water out as it is in motion. It gets all the dishes that were dry underneath it, wet! We replaced the spray arm as the tech thought the seal inside was damaged but the new one is still doing the same thing. The bottom spray arms are all dry and the other side of the upper spray is dry. The tech checked the level of the dishwasher, and it's fine. It started doing this several weeks ago. Now I have to very slowly and carefully pull the top rack out. I try to unload the bottom rack first before pulling out the top rack, but if something is needed right away from the top rack, it becomes an issue. Any suggestions? Guess I should be thankful it's cleaning the dishes, but still quite aggravating. This is a two year old unit.

You could try running it with the upper arm removed, just so you could be sure that the pressure is not getting to that point - unless you are absolutely sure the upper arm holes/channels are all clear then descale it overnight with some vinegar - just might clear something. if there is obviously only a little flow of water then perhaps you could try getting vinegar into the supply pipe using a basting bulb/syringe or similar - again leave overnight and you may get lucky. The next thing would be to take the machine apart so you could follow this hose through to the pump - undo it from the pump and blow through it or see if you can get a piece of wire in it from the pump end. try vinegar again. check the pump outlet for blockage. Hope this helps :)
SOURCE: lower arm won't spin
the arm only rotates with water shooting out of the angled jets at the end of the arm and these are probably blocked ( i assume it is free to totate manually) take the arm out and run water into the centre hole and this will help push whatever is blocking it to a visible position - usually rice or sweetcorn. you say there are no obstructions in arm but when no water flowing, the blockage tends to slump back into the main body of the arm and out of sight
SOURCE: upper arm does not spray
Dig deeper, until you find filters. Those are probably clogged. You may need a screwdriver...

Yes there is the Water Div valve, it diverts the water between the wash arms.
