Default Washer arms don't spin
Brand: Whirlpool   Age: 5 - 10 years   

I have a Whirlpool dishwasher, model # gu1200xtkq0. It fills with water, but when the cycle starts the washer arms won't spin. It seems like there's not enough water in the washer. I've added more water so the float is all the way up but still the arms don't move. If I cancel the cycle it drains properly. Any ideas as to what could be wrong. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. GEWOZ.

Gene has much to be proud of

If the wash pump runs but the spray arm does not spin - there is not enough pressure in the wash system.

Remove the water feeding tube and the pump cover.

Remove the inlet protector (#8 on the pump & motor break down diagram) and check the chopper for a clog.
