Sprayer arm is not spinning, water comes up through weakly.

There is plenty of water in the dishawasher, but low pressure coming up through the arm and center. Arm spins freely, no tightness anywhere. No chopper in dishwasher.

    Lack of water is not the problem.

Your water supply is too low. he watervalve (inlet valve) may be clogged. With insufficent supply you get a low fill and not enough water to fully enage the pump's power.

LG Dishwasher water flow is weak coming out of the lower spray arm. No water coming out of the upper spray arm. I changed the water inlet valve, and there isn't any difference.

There is a possibility the water pressure itself is low from the kitchen line or the dishwasher is set at incorrect water pressure setting and does not collect enough water based on the flow time of inlet valve. If you hear the wash motor cut in then there is not enough water in the base to start pumping it to through the arms.

Frigidaire Model FDB780RCB0 I am getting water in the machine but it seems the arms are not turning what can I do to get that fixed?

The pump in the dishwasher is supposed to provide enough water pressure to turn the spray arms and make them rotate. The pump is faulty and not giving enough pressure or the arms are stuck.
Try spinning the arms, if they rotate smoothly, you will need to replace the pump.

How do I get the top sprayer arm to spin? I have cleaned and checked for clogs.

Hi

As you have already cleaned and checked the arm for any clogs then please make sure that all holes are open. Use a sharp metal pin to clean the holes on the top spray arm. Make sure the water pressure is not low. The top arm spins freely. If not then check the bearings for the arm. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

LOW WASH PRESSURE ON UPPER SPRAY ARMS

You may have debris in the sprayer arm jets. It is usually simple to remove the sprayer arms. Then rinse them well using the sink sprayer for forceful water power. I have sometimes had to use a tweezer to remove bits of plastic, paper, bone, or food particles. Once you've remove the debris, rinse well forcing water through to dislodge any other debris. Once you've reattached the sprayer arms, you should have cleaner dishes. Also, some brands of dishwashers have a pipe that runs up the inside back wall and connects to a pipe that runs under the top shelf. Water flowing through this pipe under the top shelf propels the sprayer arms. If the connection at the back is not flush with the "propel" pipe there won't be enough water pressure to turn the sprayer arm. Check to see if your dishwasher has this type of set up.
I hope this works. If it does, please let Fixya know by rating my solution.
Good luck!

Not cleaning

Check spray arm jet holes. Clean the clogging with blower or soft bristles.

Not enough water pressure to move upper arms or clean dishes

Recommend you pull the bottom spray arm straight up, then out of the DW.
Remove 9 phillips screws that hold the filter shroud down. Remove the filter and clean/rinse it out.
While the filter it out, grab a flashlight and inspect all over the sump area. Especilly in the area the has the check valve that rotates (Vario motor-driven) to feed the water pressure either to the lower and then the upper arms. Watch out for broken glass! Also, inspect the impeller to see if it is undamaged and spins easily.
Reassemble, then test out.
If problems remain, the the wash pump motor is probably the culprit. Do you get any error messages on the time display?
Good Luck!

No water inside

your bottom spray arm has holes where the water shoots through , make sure they are not clogged.Check upper spray arm also, remove any matter that is blocking the openings and run rinse aid through your D/W at all times. Hint : Glass Magic is a D/W product out in Markets ,if you can run that through the D/W your going to save alot of headaches . Please rate this !

Maytag jet clean model#dwc7400aaw

Check to see in you have enough water in tank. The dishwasher fills then recirculates this water under pressure. If you have water in tank, listen to see if motor is running or not. If it is, you may have clogged jet holes in the wash arms.
