This arm valve installs in the dishwasher's spray arm feed to control water flow. It helps maintain proper pressure so the spray arm spins and distributes water evenly for effective cleaning.
- Directs water through the spray arm and helps maintain wash pressure
- Prevents unintended backflow that can reduce spray performance
- If worn, stuck, or missing, lead to weak spray or poor cleaning results
- Common signs include intermittent wash coverage or spray arm not rotating as expected
What's included: 1 arm valve. Install notes:
- Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
- Remove the rack/spray arm or feed manifold to access the valve
- Note the valve's orientation and seat the new valve fully in the same direction
- Reassemble and run a quick cycle to check for proper spray and leaks
