I've checked the impeller and cleaned the bottom of the unit. No obstructions. I don't see any scale anywhere. What next? Is the pump the likely culprit?

Check that the angled holes in the spray arms are clean. Check that none of the arms have split. Check that the flappers in the rear water distribution channel are OK. Could be that the water is gushing out of one of these instead of going to the spray arms. Check the over pressure filter clipped to the side of the rear water distribution channel is OK. Check the water level most units fill to just below the heater element. Note some units fill to just over the heating element, I am not sure about this unit. Try adding a couple quarts of hot water after a fii, if it nor sprays correctly then odds are the inlet screen filter on the water valve is partially clogged.
