Whirlpool-Maytag-KitchenAid dishwashers: 2020 Redesign

Maytag spray arm action

How do they switch directions? Do they alternate jets like in the Kenmores? I'd like to know more about the wash action in this new platform.

The old design used an internal gear system that would shift a slider to alternate nozzles and thus reverse from what I understand.
But did these reverse? I thought they just switched nozzles...

I think GE did a similar thing, but instead used 2 seperate water diverter positions and a pipe-in-pipe setup.
But I might be mistaken there aswell.

But I think the most current design does not reverse wash arms.

The new wash arms are much slimmer in both dimensions to reduce water needed for filling them.
They are also made out of thin sheet metal from what appears on the pictures.

There wouldn't be enough space for the gearing mechanism.

Maytag pump

Do these new Maytag pumps have the diverter motor that Whirlpool is using? If so, How do they alternate between racks and how often?

dishwasher redesign updates

What are the updates on this platform? Did Whirlpool switch to this design on their own models? I'd like to know.
