If the motor is not turning the chopper, the motor impeller is bad, rather rare the check valve goes bad.
After looking at photographs posted on this site, it appears that my dishwaher is missing a foreign object protector. Is it possible that my model (GU2400xtps1) did not have one? If it is missing, could that cause the chooper to clog frequently?
If the half round cover over the chopper is ok, this missing part will not affect the chopper as no, large objects will reach the chopper.
When you hand turn the chopper arm, there must be some smooth resistance showing it is coupled to the motor impeller.

What is the complete model number of the dishwasher?
What exactly is wrong?

Have the same problem with my Whirlpool DU1145XTPB1 model. Top rack isn’t cleaning well. Tried to get the hub off the lower sprayer arm - to no avail. Do I unscrew it or just pull it straight up? Don’t want to break parts. After trying to unscrew for 5 minutes, lower wash arm is wobbly. Any help appreciated.
There is a gray, plastic hub AP3039145 that the spray arm is screwed on, perhaps split, but just take pliers and twist off.
Hi, I have this dishwasher and now the normal cycle light is bliking with a – in the display. Is this a service code? Some one knows the meaning or were to download the service manual? Thanks.
What is the end of the model number?
Gene.
The model number is gu2500xtps. Thanks.
There is a one digit after “S”. It is important to have it.

Gu2500xtps6 Sorry about it.
Most likely the problem is a bad key pad which is a part of the control panel but there is a small chance for the control board to be bad as well.
Check the key pad operation as described on the page 1 of the tech sheet (attached to the reply).
If you will need the correct part number for the control panel, post the color of it.

When I shut my dishwasher door the "light"wash and heated dry buttons are lit. I am able to change light wash to normal, but not able to shut off heated dry, which I don’t use. After I wash a load on normal, it reverts back to light wash. Any ideas??
