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.

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. - Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool dishwasher Model GU1200XTKQ0Gene.

Thanks Gene. I'll let you know how I do.

I am having the same issue with my whirlpool gu1200xtls3.
Everything works except the arms spinning. I took it apart and checked the screen and the impeller. No issues
Any other suggestions?

Any other suggestions? I finally discovered the recirculating pump on mine was out and based upon the cost and finding a deal just replaced my dishwasher.
