I put in an old rack from the previous dishwasher (a similar Maytag)
and had the same problem. Â*(The middle spray arm will continue to

The spray arm must be rubbing on the bottom of the rack. Â*The ends

So slide the rack in and try to turn the arms by hand.
You might see what it's binding on.

i have found the water outlets of the arms cogged with debris.....

all the machines i ever had power the arms revolution by the water
spraying out....

so clogged arm hole poor or no movement

I cannot see any debris in any of the spray holes. If I open the
door quickly, I see water spraying out of the holes.

If I turn the spray arm by hand, it binds on the bottom of the rack
almost all the way around. I do not think it is a fault with the
rack because I cannot see any bending of the rack or anything
sticking down. The wheels on the rack seem to be in the correct
location and not worn down. Also, the problem happens with TWO
different racks.

happy. The human is happy because he thinks the cat is sitting on him/her
because it loves her/him. The cat is happy because it thinks that by sitting
on the human it is dominant over the human.
