Possible Causes
Clogged wash arm jets, Debris in wash arm hub, Low wash pressure from worn pump, Wash arms installed incorrectly
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the machine to cool before removing wash arms.
Step-by-step checks:
- Remove and clean arms: Take out upper and lower wash arms. Clean all jets and end caps thoroughly.
- Inspect hubs and bushings: Check for debris or wear in the arm hubs that could prevent free rotation. Clean and replace worn bushings if needed.
- Reinstall correctly: Ensure arms are installed in the correct orientation and fully seated on their mounts.
- Verify wash pressure: If arms still do not spin, the wash pump may not be producing adequate pressure and should be tested.
When to call a technician: Persistent rotation issues after cleaning may indicate pump or motor problems requiring professional service.
