Answer

Hi Kevin. Is your water manifold that delivers the water supply to each spray arm intact to the rear wall correctly? Is the separate manifold probes going into the manifold holes? Also look at the not - selected hole and make sure that whole is shut wit the flap. The manifold probe part # is WPW10082831. Are the spray arms turning freely? Is the manifold plugged into the pump / motor assembly? Remove all racks. Unscrew the Phillip's screw in the middle bossed area of the manifold. Remove the manifold by unclasping it from the top of the Accumulator assembly. Then there are top 3 - screws that hold it onto the pump assembly. Cleaning it out will help drastically. Use Glisten dishwasher cleaner monthly to keep it all cleaned. Glisten part # is W10549845. Hope this helps. Thank you.
