Possible Causes

Tall dishes blocking spray arms, Overloaded racks, Items protruding through racks, Spray arm hitting utensils

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

  • Reload dishes: Open the door and check that upper and lower spray arms can rotate freely without hitting dishes. Spin them by hand.
  • Remove tall items: Relocate or remove tall pans, trays, or utensils that interfere with spray arm rotation.
  • Follow loading diagrams: Refer to the Panasonic user manual for recommended loading patterns.

After reloading, restart the cycle. If U13 persists with clear arms, inspect arms for warping or damage.
