The Whirlpool Quiet Partner Top Sprayer Is Not Spraying, How to Fix It

Standard dishwashers made prior to 1994 use up to 10 gallons of water per cycle, but the Whirlpool dishwasher is an Energy Star qualified appliance that reduces water without the bothersome noise that typically occurs during the cleaning cycle. The Whirlpool dishwasher includes a Quiet Partner feature that quietly yet powerfully cleans your dishes with a top and bottom sprayer, and requires regular cleaning to maintain the appliance's sprayers. Mild cleaning products eliminate detergent residue and are safe to use in the dishwasher when employed sparingly.
