Whirlpool dishwasher midlevel sprayer not working

Dishwasher Repair
1

I have taken apart all the piping etc from the motor to all the spray arms and the lower arm works fine and is clear of debris, the midlevel arm is free of debris but gets no water pressure…ideas? I have cleared out all debris from the traps and the food grinder etc, it seems that there just isnt enough force to push the water up to the higher spray arm anymore…we have grinding sounds as well.

In order to provide most accurate advice we need the complete model number of the dishwasher.

It worked, thanks. As an aside, I bumped the value at the left hand side of the unit when I was pushing it back into the counter, apparently it was loose and I turned the unit on and water was everywhere!

It didnt appear to be that important of an attachment, a drain valve etc, but I pulled the unit back out, reattached the cover and everything is great.

thanks for the help!
