Jim,
I agree with Inch, it could be a clog. Check the riser tube that feeds the
upper spray bar, and also check the holes in the top spray bar. If these
get clogged, it won't turn.
If that's not the problem, I'd suspect that the valve that attaches to the
riser tube could be malfunctioning. From the online manual, that would be
part #60, but it's called drain pump assbly. If that's not the part, there
has to be some sort of solenoid to control the water flow between the 2
spray arms. The problem could be:
1. a bad solenoid in the valve - probably require replacing the valve,
2. Bad signal from the controler
3. clogged or dirty seat in the valve.
Hope this helps.
