My frigidaire dishwasher is not spraying out any water??

Hello friend, thank you for your post!

Your water valve or spray arm could be the reason no water is getting to the top of your dishwasher. Remove the spray arm and clean it out with warm water. Also check to make sure that nothing is obstructing the spray arm from releasing water onto the dishes. I hope this information is helpful. -Matt

Hi Anonymous, thank you for your inquiry!

Often if your Frigidaire dishwasher is no longer cleaning properly, this is possibly a sign that the water temperature to your dishwasher is not warm enough. The water temperature should be at least 120f and no more than 130f. I advise turning the hot water on at the sink (or faucet closest to your dishwasher); allow the water to get as hot as possible. Are you using rinse aid? Using a rinse agent helps increase drying and cleaning performance. Also, hen was the last time the filter was cleaned? Do you noticed if the spray arm will rotate freely or if it is damaged? If so, you might have to remove and replace the spray arm assemblies. Should all basic troubleshooting measures fail contact a certified technician to narrow down the precise issue before investing in parts that may or may not be the root cause. Hope this helps! - Z

what can cause the spray arm to get burned? is it too hot water in the water heater or the heating element ?

From what you have described, sounds like the sprayer arms are possibly loose or being held into place and can't rotate, by dishware.

If your dishwasher does not fill up with the correct amount of water the top spray arm will not get the water pressure it should.
The water level should be just under the heating element.

Hi,

Here is a tip that will help you to find out why water will not come into the dishwasher...

Dishwasher Trouble No Water entering Dishwasher

This all may be due to an impeller problem in the pump housing under the lower washarm. If the impeller is damaged/bad the pump will not circulate water through the wash system correctly. On most Frigidaire dishwashers the lower washarm and top pump cover can be removed fairly easily to check it out.

When a dishwasher has been checked for obstructions in the sump area and the spray arms can spin easily (by hand) plus the spray arm holes are not blocked, you end up with either a broken impeller or a failing wash pump motor.

If you would like more details of have more questions, please post comment back here, OK?

Good Luck!

I found on my first dishwasher the arm holes were plugged. I had to clean out each and every hole with a small wire. They would not even turn until I cleaned them God luck.

By chance have you cleaned the spray arm out lately? There could be something blogging the water from getting into the arm. In most dishwashers, the arm only spins because water pressure makes it spin.
