Digging this up 2 years later. That flat tube on top is totally cracked and needs to be replaced. Clues or tips on where I can find one? Working the google webs now, nothing popping up yet. Thanks in advance! Dryden, New York.
Cleaning filter worked
Just to close this one out--cleaning that filter seems to have solved the problem. Appreciate the tip towards the replacement part though, now I know how to deal with that if it crops up.
Thanks! That's really helpful. That flat tube has been the culprit at times. Wife overfills the thing on the bottom rack, something hooks it and it gets pulled off where it attaches to the upper wash arm and then obviously doesn't work. Haven't actually checked out if it leaks or is cracked...
Trying to keep this nice old dishwasher we have in our house running. Dishes in upper shelf don't clean well. Can't find the manual for it. Recommendations about where to look for manual or simple maintenance or repairs I can do to make it run better? Thinking to try to take off the wash arms...
