I would say that you still have blockage in the supply line or a fitter coulnd be blocked or in the spray arms . I did google this and that was I came up with ..
Sounds like the pump that pushes the water up to the spray arm is going south on you.
Check to see if the pump or any of the piping, or sprayer arm jets are clogged.
Yes. The water pressure in the hydraulic system is very important.
If more water flows through the hydraulic circuit of the lower nozzle, then probably that the upper nozzle will not rotate which will cause poor wash results.
There are several reasons if spray arms doesn't spray water. First you need to check efficiency of circulation pump. If it works, then should check the turbine of circulation pump. Sometimes turbine blades can be broken and the pump does not produce enough pressure to turn the spray arms. Be sure to check that the filter is not clogged which can also causes same problem. Finally, check that the nozzles of spray arms are not clogged.
So, could be:
- motor circulation pump
- circulation pump
- filter
- spray arms
- electronic or power board
Hi Gaetan, I am happy to assist you. Will the spray arm
rotate freely or is it damaged? If so, you might have to remove and replace the
spray arm assemblies. Another possibility may be that not enough water is being pumped to the spray arm. The
top spray arm typically starts to function when the unit is in rinse or wash
cycle. If for some reason the top rack is not getting clean, there is a
possibility that it is not working properly. The top spray arm is either
blocked by pots/pans or not enough water pressure is being pump meaning that
the flow of water is not making it to the upper spray arm. If you tap the delivery tube that feeds
this nozzle and the water pressure jumps immediately, then the problem may lie
with a faulty pump or impeller. 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.
Do the spray bars rotate easily? If not, you need to remove the spray bars and clean the insides out (do this even if the spray bars do turn easily.). Also check that where they mount is clean and free of debris.
Check the nozzles and make sure they are not plugged.
Also check that the inlet screen to the pump is not clogged (around the bottom of the unit).
Let me know what you find, and tell me if you can hear water spraying inside the unit during a wash cycle (and do the dishes get wet.).
