Hello Okipoaspir, thank you for allowing me to assist you!

I understand your dishwasher is not cleaning properly. Are you using gel packs? Most manufacturers recommend using a powder or a liquid detergent since it’s easier to dissolve. Please make sure your residence water supply is between 120°F – 130°F for optimal performance. Also, will the spray arm rotate freely or is it damaged? If so, you might have to remove and replace the spray arm assemblies. The top spray arm typically starts to function when your dishwasher is in rinse or wash cycle. If for some reason the top rack is not getting clean, it is possible that the top spray arm is either blocked by pots/pans or not enough water pressure is being pump. If you tap the delivery tube that feeds this nozzle and the water pressure jumps immediately, then the problem may lie with a faulty pump or impeller. Should all basic troubleshooting measures fail contact a certified technician to narrow down the precise issue before investing in parts that may or may not be the root cause.
