I have a Whirlpool Gold Quiet Partner III that is 8 years old and recently stopped cleaning top rack dishes. I remember finding a mylar like piece in the bottom of the tub and threw it away thinking it came off of something we washed (I know, bad thinking.) The mylar piece measured roughly 3-4inx2in and was folded in half. Anyways....the upper arm does not spin and the detergent doesnt get fully dispensed so dishes dont get fully cleaned. I am guessing not enough water pressure to upper arm. Would that mylar piece have anything to do with it? if not, any other advice? Thanks, your assistance is greatly appreciated.

I'm having a similar issue. Are you sure the arm isn't moving at all?

Generally what I'm finding is either you have a clog or the pump motor is bad.
Hear is the service manual.

I have a whirlpool Gold quiet partner III that is about 14 years old. It is no longer getting dishes consistently clean.Is it something fixable or is it time to get a new one?Could it be cleaned out?

There are many places and parts for dirt to remain after washing. Clean all parts as per manual. Spray inside with vinegar and lemon juice, place tablespoon of bi-carb soda in dispenser and put through cycle without dishes

My 6 year old Whirlpool dishwasher is loud

This is a bad wash pump. Looking at about $175 for just the sump assembly. You could do it yourself, but unit would need to be uninstalled.

Same problem. 2-3 inches of water left in the dishwasher at end.

Inspect for plugged drain screen. Sometimes you have to take apart the bottom area for access...

The top rack is not longer getting clean

Using liquid detergent is the worst detergent to use. One possible solution to your problem could be as follows...pour 2 cups of vinegar in to the tub and run it on the hottest longest cycle with no dishes in it. May need to do this several times (3 to 4). This will clean the residue out and what ever "gunk" may be in the internal parts. Use Only powder detergent. No gel, no liquid and no tabs. These 2 cause a build-up over a period of time of use and reduce the performance of your machine. This should take care of your problem.

Whirlpool Gold dishwasher

Either:
  1. not enough water gets into the dishwasher. check water valve, water level float and water pressure.
  2. the pump is clogged - there is water, the motor will run but no water is circulated. Check pump filters, check chopper and impeller.
Good luck,

Cannot unscrew cap on rinse aid compartment in door of Whirlpool Gold Quiet Partner III

the cap doesn't come off, you just have to open the door all the way. then, when you pour the rinse aid into the dial area, it will get sucked into the dispenser. but if the door isn't open all the way it won't go anywhere and will overflow on you.
