The spray arm rotates freely when the washer is off. There is water in the base of the unit and the lower arm seems to be working. What should I look at first? This unit is in a vacation rental in the Caribbean and there are no service men available. Thank you, Utila Bob

It is for newer units but yours should be close. http://appliancejunk.com/ge/dishwasher/31-9137.pdf Could be a number of things: Dirty filter screen. Low fill, see Page 24 for where it should be. Often low fill is caused by a dirty inlet filter screen in the water valve. Remove the valve and check/clean it. Do not permanently remove the screen from the valve as it is there to keep crud out of the valve which could hold it open and cause a flood. Poor seal at the middle spray arm. Dirt/crud in the pump. Dirt and debris in the sump. Be care when checking in here as often there is broken glass in the sump.
