LG LD-2052SH. Hi, I have an LG dishwasher and the upper spray arm is not cleaning satisfactorily.

LG LD-2052SH dishwasher the cleaning is not satisfactory. I replaced synchronous motor to create pressure for spray arms but only the lower spray arm is working best. I also cleaned the jet holes but still the upper arm is not doing the best cleaning. What could be the problem please?

Remove the upper wash arm from the rack. Examine thoroughly. Look for hair line cracks especially if the wash arm is plastic. Top rack wash arms have spray holes on the top AND bottom. Check both places. Sometimes small fish bones will clog the hallway of wash arm not just the holes. After years of use, the wash arm will bow especially plastic ones. Be sure the water connection to wash arm is Secure. If you think the wash arm is not spinning, try this. Place a old cell phone inside a sealed glass jar and start recording video from the lower rack. Be sure jar is Secure. The light from phone will come on. You might see the problem this way.

LG Dishwasher water flow is weak coming out of the lower spray arm. No water coming out of the upper spray arm. I changed the water inlet valve, and there isn't any difference.

There is a possibility the water pressure itself is low from the kitchen line or the dishwasher is set at incorrect water pressure setting and does not collect enough water based on the flow time of inlet valve. If you hear the wash motor cut in then there is not enough water in the base to start pumping it to through the arms.

I have the same problem, well - similar. The diverter is moving for me, however it is moving to the wrong position. It seems to move between the upper arm and then blocking off, rather than upper arm and then lower arm.
