I checked the sump pump again and it is indeed clear.

However, there is a puddle of water in the sump pump. I don't know if that is normal? Also, you can see dirt debris at the bottom of the dishwasher.

As I said earlier, I can see the water emptying into the garbage disposal when it is rinsing.

I have attached a photo of the upper arm, which looks strange to me because there is only a single hole on each end. I also attached a photo of the bottom of the dishwasher with the sump pump off.

It looks to me like there is not enough pressure during the wash and I don't think it is connected to the upper spray arm. Most of water to the upper dish rack comes through the pop up tower which is a part of the lower spray arm. It needs a sufficient pressure to come up and distribute water.

One more part you may want to check is the piston & nut assembly (#564 on the diagram). You have to remove the filter frame (#543) to access the piston & nut. Then just unscrew it. Make sure there is no any foreign objects inside the valve body.

The piston was corroded shut with calcium deposits. I cleaned it all out and the dishes are now being cleaned much better! I had originally taken the filter screen off and had cleaned out all the debris under the screen but didn't even know that there was a piston in there since it was covered in so much crud.

Thanks for your help Gene! You have made my wife happy!
