Circulation Pump Motor Assembly
This PMSM module is the primary engine for water pressurization; its failure prevents the dishwasher from generating the hydrodynamic lift needed to rotate the spray arms. Internal electrical degradation or a seized impeller will allow the unit to fill and drain but fail to oscillate water during the wash cycle. This updated part number replaces the frequently failing original motor.

Diverter Motor
The diverter motor actuates a mechanical disc that routes pressurized water to the upper, middle, or lower spray arms. If the motor's internal gearing fails or the shaft seizes, water flow is restricted to the sump area and cannot reach the spray arm manifolds, resulting in zero rotation despite the circulation pump running.

Lower Spray Arm Assembly
Mechanical failure of the spray arm occurs when the nozzle orifices become obstructed by calcification or food debris, or if the ultrasonic weld on the arm seam fails. A loss of pressure at the nozzles reduces the reactive force required to overcome the friction of the hub, preventing the arm from spinning even if water is present.
