My pray arm is not working have taken of arm to clean but still doesn't work. Any hints what to check for?
MAKE SURE YOU ARE GETTING ENOUGH WATER INTO THE
DISHWASHER. THEN CHECK FOR A RESTRICTED PUMP
INLET PORT LOCATED UNDER THE METAL STRAINER
ON THE RIGHT SIDE. IT IS A SMALL HOLE WITH A PLASTIC
GRID MOLDED INTO THE WELL, APPROX. 1 INCH IN DIAMETER.BE SURE THERE ISN'T ANYTHING PLUGGING UP
THE HOLES IN THE PLASTIC GRID.

Wow. I didn't believe this would work. Everyone else's advice (here and elsewhere on the interweb) only mentioned cleaning food bits out of the holes in the spray arm (which I did, yet my spray arm still wouldn't turn). You mentioned also CLEANING OUT THAT INLET PORT UNDER THE STRAINER, and you gave detailed instructions even I could follow. Only three of the six holes in the grid were clogged, I cleared them, still doubtful it would have any effect -- and when I tried it again, the spray arm revolved!
I was minutes away from throwing my Danby out and beginning the long process of explaining to my girlfriend that, as much as I too hate built-in obsolencence and don't want to have to buy a new Danby every two years, and the company basically sucks due to no customer service etc., still we must get a new one pronto because it keeps our relationship happy... and now I don't need to!
Thank you App-Tech! Your detailed instructions did the trick for me!

Hi,
I have an older dishwasher also and recently my wife also complained about it not cleaning right... so me being the man I am tried in vain to clean the things... Bought new spray arms online and installed them in minutes...now the thing works like new... However I have also found that if the heating element goes bad then that also can mess things up bad... So I would buy new spray arms, and also check out the heating element to make sure it is working... Here is a tip that will help you with the online buying...
