LG Dishwasher spray arms not spinning

If your LG dishwasher spray arms are not spinning, the wash system usually is not getting or directing water the way it should. On this LG dishwasher spray arm not turning problem, the most likely causes start with the control board or main control board not sending power where it needs to go, which can keep the water inlet valve from opening and leave the tub without enough water pressure to move the wash arm. After that, check the timer, though timers are often misdiagnosed. More commonly on a dishwasher spray arms not spinning complaint, the issue is in the wash arm supports: a blocked or damaged center wash arm support, lower wash arm support, or upper wash arm support can restrict water flow and keep the spray arm from spinning properly. If your dishwasher wash arm not spinning is leaving dishes dirty after the cycle, inspect each support for clogs, cracks, or poor alignment with the water supply nozzle.

01 - LG 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.
