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.
