Whirlpool DU1055XTSS Quiet Partner 1 is not cleaning top rack

I have a Whirlpool Quiet Partner 1. Model #DU1055XTSS purchased Nov. of 2007. For about the past 3 or 4 months the top rack is not getting clean. It seems as if there is no water getting to the top rack. At the end of the cycle, there are water droplets on the roof of the machine, but the top rack dishes are dry and still dirty. Bottom rack cleans great. Can you please tell me how to try to fix this problem?

The sprayer is clogged with ****. I had the exact same problem. my mother-in-law gave me of some 80 year old man that has fixed appliances all his life. Ten minuets after he got to the house it was fixed. cost $70.00. He just took a couple things apart dumped out the **** inside the parts and put it back together. Hope this helps.

    not sure why they starred out what I said, it wasn't anything bad enough to be censored (in my opinion)

I have a whirlpool gold dishwasher model Quiet Partner 3. The top rack is not cleaning the dishes very well. We live in the country and have hard water. I am wondering if there could be a buildup of some...

if it is just affecting the upper rack i doubt it is just a plugged spray arm (though i could be wrong). more likely than not you have a blockage on the intake of your spray pump motor. a series of bones, toothpicks, foreign material, etc could be blocking the entrance of the pump causing it to starve for water so to speak.
you will more than likely need to remove the lower rack and spray arm to be able to disassemble the strainer and gain access to the sump.
a complete model number would help bunches to.. alas

Quiet partner 1 top rack does not get clean at all

Hi,

I would suspect you have debris in the pump that is causing a pressure drop so the water is not spraying well in the upper arm.

Try this procedure to clean out the sump. Let me know if it helps.

Our Whirlpool Quiet Partner III cleans the bottom rack fine, but the top rack does not seem to have any water pressure and thereby does not clean. Any solutions?

two things that you need to check one is the water level in the machine when it has completed it fill cycle.low water level will cause this issue with imporper cleaning.
make sure the spray arm is not clogged in any way.
the other is simply replace the main wash motor

In my experience, you probably have a clog in the spray arm/arms for the top rack. Take the arm(s) out and see if the holes in them are clogged. Rice, plastic wrappers, and glass from dishes that broke in there are the most common culprits I've seen.

First, confirm that the holes are not blocked on these arms. (I did not want to assume you have done this.)

Then check the impeller on top of the motor stem for being loose or worn/damaged - to rule the impeller out. If it is fine, then the motor is failing and too weak to drive the spray arms.
To answer your question, I think the answer is "They don't make them like they used too!"

I have the Whirlpool Quiet (??) Partner II. My

Have this same problem with my Whirlpool DU1145XTBA. Found out that when you start the unit, it fills with water. If the water does not rise above the filter mesh in the bottom center of the unit then the pump doesn't have enough water to supply pressure to the upper sprayer. Had to replace the Flow Meter. It tells the unit how much water to supply to the unit.
