Upper wash arm wasn’t spinning because water supply tube had cracked.

A screwdriver for prying things apart and to tighten a screw.

After months of dealing with our top rack dishes not getting clean, we finally set up a GoPro inside the dishwasher and ran a wash cycle to see what was happening. We saw that there was plenty of very hot water spraying out of the upper spray arm, but it wasn’t spinning. I took apart and cleaned the spray arm, but it looked fine and made no difference. Finally I took out both of the racks so I could get down to look closely at the water supply tube that’s up against the back wall. It had a small crack near the bend (where the back and bottom panels meet)! Aha! So initially my husband wrapped some heavy-duty, high temp foil tape around the cracked area a couple of times to see if it made any difference. After running the dishwasher like this, all of our dishes were clean like they hadn’t been in months! This one crack had caused months of frustration and dirty dishes! After a few weeks, the tape started degrading and I knew it was time to just bite the bullet and replace the whole plastic water supply tube. It was very easy to replace. Just had to pop open a mounting bracket along the back wall and undo a screw at the bottom drain, I believe, to remove the old one. Then do the reverse to mount the new one. Took a total of 10 minutes. Now the dishwasher works like new again! And I get kudos for diagnosing the problem!
