SOURCE: no water or rotation to upper rack

is there enough water in it.water should be about 1/2 below heater.if it is and you can hear the motor running then the chopper can be broken and food is blocking water passage to top spray arms.

Sounds like the hose assembly that attaches to the rear of the upper rack has come undone. just pull out the upper rack and reconnect it.

SOURCE: Dishwasher Not washiig properly suspect upper spray arm is

the most common problem is low water pressure.when you start the dishwasher check the amonut of water in the bottom of the dishwasher there should be about an inch of water in the bottom.
if needed add some more water to the unit and see what happens this can determine if the fill valve is bad,or the control board.if the unit washes change the fill valve or check your water pressure,if there is no change then the main wash motor needs to be change because it is not putting enough water through the system to properly wash.

SOURCE: The upper arm is not rotating

Take it apart and clean it, water pressure should spin it around, there are bits of food/rice plugging it and stoping it from rotating.

My Indesit dishwashers lower spray arm comes off resulting in flooding do I need new arm support

Yes. The water pressure in the hydraulic system is very important.
If more water flows through the hydraulic circuit of the lower nozzle, then probably that the upper nozzle will not rotate which will cause poor wash results.

The upper dishes are not getting cleaned. I ran the dishwasher again and looked in quickly and noticed the upper rotating nozzle pack are not moving.

The rotating piece on the bottom of my Amana QT is not rotating

check that the upper and lower spray arm nozzles are not clogged with particles if they are remove them a nd clean them out also see if there is a screen in the bottom of dishwasher under lower rack clean it out if you can also purchase a bottle of dishwasher cleaner from your local supermarket use it in a empty dishwasher first run tap closest to machine to make sure water is hot red directions on bottle it works very well and dishes will come out much cleaner also use a good gel like electra sol dihwasher gel

LG LDS5811WW Low pressure out of spray arms

On the LG LDF xxxx dishwasher family, the Vario feature uses a motor/check valve to switch between "full power" cleaning from _either_ the lower or the upper spray arms, never at the same time. So, not seeing the upper arm spin during the lower arm spinning is standard operating procedure.

But back to your problem. Step one would be to remove the filter assembly again and make certain that there is nothing (debris, broken glass) blocking the white areas where the check valve rotates to switch between upper/lower spray arms. A blockage there ~could~ cause impotent spraying/cleaning.

If there is no blockage and the impeller remains in good shape, suspect a failing wash pump motor. Try to isolate the noise to that motor.

Watch for error codes on the display and report back what you find, OK?

Good Luck!
