Dishwasher goes through full cycle, but its clear the spray arms aren't moving/spraying water during the cycle. Water comes in and drains correctly. I took out all the screens & arms and cleaned them (nothing clogged), but arms still don't spray water during the cycle. What to do next?
Hi frustrated in Raleigh,
I understand that the spray arms are not moving or spraying water, even after you have cleaned the screens and arms. What might be happening is you are not getting enough water pressure to the dishwasher.
The hot water line to your dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation.
Wait until water use is reduced before starting dishwasher.
If you are still noticing that the spray arms are not moving or spraying water, I would have a local Authorized Technician come out to see what exactly is going on with the spray arms of your dishwasher.
-Best Regards-

Have same problem except big motor spins independent of stripped? impeller. tried to reassemble but seems mechanical or adhesive agent misssing from one shaft or the other and the motor spins the impeller (now tight) only to have it slip off again and stop pumping water.

I found on my first dishwasher the arm holes were plugged. I had to clean out each and every hole with a small wire. They would not even turn until I cleaned them God luck.

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!

Since water is recirculated during the cycles, there is most likely a filter of some kind in the water path and that is probably clogged with debris.
Go to the Sears parts dept. and enter your make and model to see if they have your machine listed in their library.
If so, there will be a line drawing of the machine so you can locate where the filter is located and possibly reorder from that same page.
Sears carries or supplies parts for about every make and model.
