The dishwasher arms are not spinning, i am assuming because there is not enough water pressure to move them. i think i may need a new pump or motor (are they the same?) it's about 8 years old. am i better off getting a new dishwasher than paying to have it repaired? how much does a new pump or motor cost? also, there is a loud noise, kinda chugs along. it does fill with water when you advance the knob, but it's not at high pressure, the water just kinda falls out, doesn't spray.

Hi,

Check the screen/filter in the pump to make sure it's clean.
