My kitchenaid top shelf spray arm does not spin. I have check for obstruction - found none. All parts look good. Lower arm is spinning.
Dishwasher is filling with water to proper level and working properly except for the arm not spining. I have removed the top shelf and applied water pressure from exterior house water hose - arm still does not spin.
Arm will spin by hand. Help - How much water pressure does this arm need to see to work.
Its just clipped over the cap remove and clean also check the seal is not damages on the pipe that goes into case.

Hi mathenywasja,
For removal of spray follow :-

http://www.partselect.com/repair.aspx?appliance=dishwasher∂=remove-spray-arms
To replace pump, procedure would be :-
The pump is not difficult to remove and replace. If you have a little bit of mechanical ability, you can replace the pump easily. You can find the pump by following the drain line into the bottom of the dishwasher. The drain line connects to the pump.
The pump will come out fairly easily by removing a couple of fasteners. Make sure you find an exact replacement part or you could be in for a world of trouble.
Thanks for using Fixya.
Do rate the solution.

When a dishwasher has been checked for obstructions in the sump area and the spray arms can spin easily (by hand) plus the spray arm holes are not blocked, you end up with either a broken impeller or a failing wash pump motor.
If you would like more details of have more questions, please post comment back here, OK?
Good Luck!

Most likely the circulation pump. On this pump there is mounted a condensator. This will help the pump to get started. If this is broken, it wont circulate the water up to the sprayers.
