The rubber inlet sump on my dishwasher has a hole in it. Can i patch it like a bike tire? Is it easy for me to replace?

The middle and upper spray arms do not seem to rotate while washing. When I open the door there is water dripping from them but the items in the upper rack do not get cleaned. Is there a diverter valve or other device that controls these two arms getting water or could it be a blockage?
For model number PDW7880G00SS
Hello Steve,
Thanks for your question. This may be due to a clog with the sump filter, part number PS2370522. Have a look at it and see if it is damaged or clogged, and replace it if needed.
I hope this helps.

Leak from the bottom center
The connector pump had a pinhole leak at the seam (new part did not have seams). Also replaced the sump inlet which looked worn and the impeller.
Lay dishwasher on it's back to access the bottom. Loosen all clamps. Remove both U shaped holders on the sump inlet. Remove screws holding the drain motor. Pull out the pump motor and sump inlet. Connector pump can be unscrewed from the bottom.
Replace parts and reassemble. It isn't that bad once you start disassembly, especially for anyone somewhat handy.
The cat brought in a rat which ate holes in the sump inlet.
First, I took off all the pipe clamps and retaining brackets. Then, I pried it out of there. One of the tabs holding one of the other bits to the body got busted, but it didn't matter, as it is held on very well just by the pipe clamp connection. I stuck the new one in and re-attached all the hoses. The GIANT complication was that a new floor had been installed over the old floor, right up against the kick plate- so in order to remove the dishwasher, I had to slice open the counter, as the new floor prevented sliding it out. To prevent the problem recurring, I spray painted over the sump inlet to make it taste worse. This is the downside of a cat door.

Water leak from under dishwasher. Leaky inlet sump
Disconnected the electricity, the drain hose, and the water supply from the dishwasher. Loosened the two screws from the countertop and pulled out the dishwasher. Turned it on to it's side. Saw the damaged inlet sump. Had to remove the Pump connector to get to the inlet sump. Checked it also and discovered that it was starting to develop a small crack from the inside. I decided to replace it as well. The job involves removing the hose clamps and removing the spray mechanizm from the interior of the dishwasher to spin out the inlet sump. Not a difficult job.
I had a slow leak from vicinity of sump. I replaced sump and pump connector as these were only likely sources of leak based on parts select history. Turns out plastic tub had a fine crack. The crack was directly under the heating element which had melted the plastic and over time created this small crack that was found by a repair guy immediately. I even suspected a tub leak and searched for one but being directly under the element made it invisible to me and in an area I did not suspect (front). Oh well - also learned GE charges $100. to come to my house, show me a crack, and leave (I repaired it with epoxy).
Removed the unit from under counter and placed it with the door side down. Removed clamps/bands from the outlets on the sump and removed screws that attached sump to dishwasher tub. Reversed the process with the new sump and positioned the dishwasher unt=der the cabinet. Next step was to remove the arm and cover parts to the sump, then removed the old upper neck portion that stuck to a strainer. Then aligned the strainer to connect to the small neck of the sump and replaced items in the order from which they were removed.

Great part - working as expected/hoped
The original part lasted 14 years so I'm happy this hopefully bought me a few more years on an older dishwasher! When I first took the machine apart, I went to the usual culprit (for water leaking out from underneath), a jammed pump. I found a piece of glass, thought that was the problem, ran a test, everything seemed fine. And then the leak started again. Upon closer look, I noticed the Inlet Sump (this part) was extremely deteriorated. Given what its made of, not surprising. I figured I'd swap it out and see if that did the trick. It did! No more leaks. And I just (hopefully) put off the purchase of a new dishwasher for a few more years! Part was delivered quickly and inexpensively. No complaints!
