Hi there! To better assist you with diagnosing the issue with your dishwasher, could you answer a few questions for me? Is the spray arm clogged in any way? Is the filter dirty? Is the detergent dispensing correctly?

The spray arm does seem to be clogged, but I’m not sure about the filter or detergent dispensing.

To clean the spray arm, you can try using a toothpick to remove any clogs. This may resolve the issue with the dishwasher not cleaning dishes properly. It’s also a good idea to check and clean the filter, as well as making sure the detergent dispenser is working correctly.
