Possible Causes

Clogged upper spray arm jets, Misaligned upper rack feed tube, Worn or missing upper arm seal, Low water pressure from circulation pump

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Switch off power before removing racks or spray arms.

  • Clean upper spray arm: Remove the upper spray arm and flush it thoroughly, clearing all jets.
  • Check feed tube connection: Ensure the upper rack feed tube properly engages with the rear water supply port when the rack is pushed in. Adjust rack height or position if needed.
  • Inspect seals: Check the rubber seal where the feed tube meets the rear wall for damage or missing parts. Replace if worn.
  • Verify circulation strength: If upper cleaning remains weak, the circulation pump may be underperforming and should be tested.
