The spray arms have stopped spinning on my Maytag MDB9600AWB dishwasher.

The dishwasher fills up to the heating element.
It runs through the entire cycle and drains properly.
The wash motor comes on and runs okay but does not seem to pump any water to the spray arms.


I removed the large plastic section that runs from the pump area up the inside back of the tub to the top arm - it was clean with no obstructions.
I removed the lower spray arm and the cover below it, the impeller assembly, and the large assembly that has what appears to be fine filter material around the top. Everything was clean and nothing was clogged.


At that point I was down to the motor shaft and didn't go any further.
I reassembled everything and the problem is still there...not surprisingly since I didn't fix anything.


I would very much appreciate any suggestions?


The dishwasher is about 18 months old.
It was working fine until now.
Thank you

Hi,

Post on the wash motor may be cracked and this slows down the wash impellor so we get poor pressure.
