Possible Causes

Broken spray arm hub, Loose spray arm, Diverter not indexing correctly, Obstruction preventing spray arm rotation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Turn off power before removing internal components.

Steps:

  • Check spray arm movement: Spin each spray arm by hand. They should rotate freely without hitting dishes or racks.
  • Inspect for cracks: Remove spray arms and inspect for splits, missing end caps, or clogged jets. Replace damaged arms.
  • Verify proper installation: Ensure spray arms are fully seated on their hubs and locked in place.
  • Diverter check: If arms are fine but certain zones never spray, inspect and test the diverter assembly as in F9E1.
