Ge WD12X10244 Lower Spray Arm Base OEM Part

I did not know how to remove the broken spray arm so when I muscled it out, the spray arm base broke. We ordered the replacement parts from appliance parts pros and received them within 2 days. I looked online to find out how to remove the spray arm base. I removed it be unscrewing the base, screwing the replacement base, and then snapping in the new spray arm. We tested the dishwasher and it worked just like it was new. Another new task learned and completed!!

In the How to fix it your self section of Questions and Answers, your answers for removing the Base Spray Arm is incorrect. It states "just stick a screw driver into the base spray arm from inside the tub and turn", that does not work. Their are 2 tabs that in gauge the base spray arm with the tub. A 4 prong round wrench is required to insert from the bottom into the pump connector and turn the nut that sits inside.

I watched a video on you tube detailing how to remove and replace the broken parts.

Followed the video. That part went as planned. The dishwasher wouldn't drain/started overflowing onto the floor after. There was a small white ball that came out of the sump when I tipped the dishwasher onto its back. Make sure this doesn't happen to avoid the same problem. If so, it simply needs to go back into the round hole before the basket goes back on. Took longer than it should have, because of additional troubleshooting. Hope this helps.

It wouldn’t come off easily by turning counter clockwise from the bottom so I removed it from inside of the dishwasher with a strap wrench.
