Kitchenaide Dishwasher Upper Arm Problem




By bwinkel on Oct 24, 2007

" "
When checking out a poor cleaning problem on the upper tray, I found that the upper arm was not turning.  A repairman came out and replaced the filter and a valve, but the upper arm still doesn't turn.  The upper arm ports have no obstructions and the arm moves freely to the touch.   With the door slightly open and pushing in the door shutoff switch, I observed a weak flow through the upper arm ports, which was not enough to move the arm or do any cleaning.
The repairman is saying there is nothing more he can do.  However, couldn't this be caused by poor pump performance?  Any recommendations?

Same Problem

Jan 21, 2009

-   I have the same problem with a Kenmore 587.14153401. It has an upper arm that doesn't turn, although the arm itself seems in good shape. The hose that goes to the upper arm is transparent and I can see that the flow is very slow, probably not enough to propel the arm. I know the problem isn't in the arm assembly, because the flow is slow even if I remove the upper tray, which includes the funnel and the arm assembly. -   ssoloway
