The Spray Arm Seal is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This seal is responsible for creating a watertight seal between the spray arm and the water supply tube, ensuring that water is directed through the spray arm without leaking.

Causes of a bad spray arm seal include wear and tear over time, exposure to high temperatures or harsh detergents, or physical damage from mishandling or debris.

Symptoms of a bad spray arm seal:

  • Water leaks around the spray arm or in the dishwasher tub
  • Reduced water pressure or inefficient spray coverage
  • Excessive noise or rattling sounds from the spray arm during cycles
  • Premature wear or damage to the spray arm components

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore dishwasher models.

Answer

Dan, Do you recall any strange "grinding" noises during the previous cycles , especially in the wash portion of the cycle ? If not, check the water level in the bottom of the tub,. after a cycle is started, allow the machine to run 3 to 5 minutes, then unlatch the door , and wait a few seconds. Remove the lower rack and check the water level. The water level should be in contact with the bottom of the heater element(at least) and check the water temperature, it should be at least 120 dgrs. F. at this time. Low water level and low wash water temps. can produce the results you're describing. Good Luck and Thanks
