Samsung Dishwasher spray arms not spinning

If your Samsung dishwasher spray arms are not spinning, the machine usually is not getting or directing water where it needs to go. On this symptom, the most likely causes start with the control board or main control board not sending power to the water inlet valve, which can leave the tub short on water and keep the wash arm or spray arm from turning. A bad timer can cause the same kind of power issue, although timers are less common failures. After that, check for a damaged or clogged center wash arm support, lower wash arm support, or upper wash arm support, since any blockage or poor connection at these parts can reduce water flow and stop the dishwasher spray arms from spinning. If your Samsung dishwasher spray arm is not turning and the dishwasher is not washing properly or is leaving dishes dirty, inspect the supports for obstructions and make sure they line up correctly with the water supply nozzle.

01 - Samsung Dishwasher Control Board

A dishwasher's control board provides power to nearly every electrical component in the dishwasher. A faulty board may be unable to supply power to the water inlet valve, preventing it from opening and allowing the necessary water to fill the tank.

03 - Samsung Dishwasher Timer

The timer allows power to flow to the proper parts at the proper times. If the timer isn’t working properly, it might not send voltage to the dishwasher, causing it not to start. Timers are often misdiagnosed—make sure you check more commonly defective parts before replacing the timer.

04 - Samsung Dishwasher Center Wash Arm Support

The center wash arm is attached to a support that is normally attached to the underside of the upper dishrack. Water flows through the support to the arm which circulates the water to the dishes in the upper rack. If the support is damaged or obstructed water may not flow properly. Inspect the support for any damage or obstruction and replace if necessary. In addition, make sure that the support is mating properly with the water supply nozzle.
