Hope someone can help me out here. My dishwasher is about 3 years old and wont get dishes clean.

It fills fine and heats fine but when I jump the switch and watch the sprayers the bottom sprayer goes about 2 inchs above the top rack and the upper sprayer only sprays about 3 inchs high and the top sprayer doesnt spray at all.

Seems like I have a lack of pump preasure somehow. I have plenty of water in the dishwasher and my arms are not clogged at all.

If I remove the upper arm and cover the hole with my hand the top sprayer works fine and the bottom one has lots of preasure.

I took apart the bottom to see if I could find some trash in there and found nothing. The unit drains fine as well.

Is my pump going out? I dont know how much preasure I should have so I dont know whats wrong or right.

Remove the cover from the pump and the inlet protector.

Check the chopper assembly for clog.

How in the world do you watch what the sprayers are doing? I thought the door had to be locked before the dishwasher would work.

If you carefully open the door during the wash cycle then you can see them before they stop.
