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.
