How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6013024 / WP8539324 Dishwasher Upper Spray Arm Mount

By ordering an upper arm assembly, spray assembly and mount. 

Replaced the Upper Spray Arm Assembly! Very easy to get part. 

Needed Phillips screwdriver and few minutes of time. The best was that I received the part so fast. Ordered in morning had it by noon next day, with out over night shipping. Thanks. 

This part broke on my 20 year old Kenmore dishwasher. Found it on AppliancePartsPros.com along with a helpful video that demonstrated how to install it and explained how the new part differed from the old part so I wouldn't panic when it came and was slightly different. I selected the faster shipping method and it came the next morning! Had it in in less than 15 minutes and back in business. Very simple repair. 

Replaced upper spray arm mount assembly. 

I did a Google search of the dishwasher model and found the replacement listed on Appliance Parts Pros. Ordered the part and it arrived quicker than expected. I was able to quickly replace the broken part and the dishwasher is back to working order. While this was a relatively straightforward fix, it would have been nice to have some written guidance on how to assemble the parts received and replace the broken item. 

Simple swap-out of the part. 

Removed the broken spray arm assembly from the top basket. Took new assembly and attached new spray arm and water supply tube with the screw. Popped it back in place and attached the water supply tube in the ring in the back. Very easy. It took about 15 minutes and the dishwasher has run fine since. 

Installed spray arm and supply tube kit and a new upper spray arm mount Kit. I watched the repair video prior to ordering the parts to help insure I obtained the correct parts and how to install. 

We bought the replacement parts and reinstalled. The replacement parts didn't come with the screws and washers needed, so we just reused the ones we had. Installation was simple. We had weighed the option of just buying a new dishwasher, but I feel good about making this repair instead!
