My dishwasher isnt getting any dishes clean, and leaving grit behind. I checked the arms and they arent spinning during the cycle. Also, water is streaming out under the arms, from the gasket type part. Trying to decide whether to fix it or get a new one.
Most likely the problem is a lot of hard water deposits built up in the pump and spray arms. Basically this is a chemical and not a mechanical problem. Your dishwasher needs very good cleaning which takes a few weeks and will cost you about $50-60 for the cleaning stuff. It’s probably not worth it.
