The dishes all end up wet up there but not clean like they used to be.
I checked and replaced the water valve under the dishwasher which changed nothing. I have opened the door while in the washing mode and noticed the bottom arm spinning but not the top ones. I removed the plastic tube that travels up the back of the machine, looking for debris, but found none.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Rob
There is a blockage in the tube riser or tube arm..........
cheers

brittgee, there has been a number of service flashes on this model. One that has to do with the upper spray arm assy. Complaint is poor washability; gritty glasses, food redeposited on glasses, especially in the corners. They redesigned the upper spray arm to improve water spray to all corners of the upper rack. The new part number is 8269022. They also redesigned the third level spinner for more consistant rotation and better washability. This was also under a service flash. Part number.8193768. Other reasons for poor wash would be; low water temperature, rinse aid disp. not working, loading etc. Catriver...post back.

if youve acess below the filter screen ther is only 2 more screws holding down 2 more covers giving you acess to the chopper assy, this is where youll find broken glass and stuff hitting against hte chopper try to break up.. the first of 2 covers lifts right off,,, the second will require sorta prying up and off, beyond this no real acess to any more

Growand:
There is a rubber tube which supplies water to the top spray arms. That is, If yours has top spray arms. This rubber tube has to make a connection when one slides the top rack back in. That tube will rot after a while, check it out.
If the soap is not being used up, reduce the amount of soap you are using and run the dishwasher empty with a pie plate sitting on the bottom rack with a cup of distilled (cheap) vinegar in it. Run it hot and long, recheck and redo if neccessary.

removed and disassembled inlet water valve - minature basket filter was clogged with white particulate which felt gritty. cleaned and reassembled and reinstalled. Works fine now. Idiot repairman never mentioned a filter but wanted to replace entire valve at cost of 140 dollars including service call. sears sux bigtime. And, from my experience with Fixya, so does your service since I never heard a thing since July EXCEPT for an offer to upgrade. Thanks for nothing.
