• Run a short test cycle to verify normal spray operation

The Spray Arm Connector Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE dishwashers. This assembly connects the upper and lower spray arms to the water inlet valve, allowing water to flow through the spray arms during the wash cycle. 

Symptoms of a bad spray arm connector assembly include: 

• Uneven or inconsistent water coverage on dishes
• Clogged or kinked spray arm assemblies 
• Leaks at the tub connections
• Reduced water pressure impact 

Causes of a bad spray arm connector assembly can be mineral buildup affecting water flow, cracked or damaged connectors, or wear over time.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
