I have checked and the bottom spray arm spins easily. None of the
little holes in the spray arm seem to be blocked. I do not think
the dishwasher has mineral buildup because we have a water softner.
I have had the same problem when I used both Cascade and Finish
brand detergent tablets.

The dishwasher is a Maytag model MDB6701AWWW3. It has three spray
arms, one on the bottom spraying up, one in the middle spraying up
and one on the top spraying down.


I just replaced the lower wash arm support on my 10 yr old washer. the
lower arm spun fine and I could see that it had moved when I opened
the door-- but when I was removing things to do my semi-annual
strainer screen cleaning, I noticed some wear on the little plastic
support. The piece acted as a bearing and a diverter to send the
water out through the wash arm. The worn piece opened up another
path for the water, so only a small bit of water was going through the
wash arm.

I don't see that piece listed here for yours--

Maybe it is part of another piece on that machine?

I wouldn't suspect detergent problems if it is only the lower shelf
stuff that isn't getting clean.

Does anyone know why my dishwasher is not getting my dishes clean?
Thank you in advance for all replies.
