The Lower Washarm is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. Positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher tub, it rotates during the wash cycle, distributing water and detergent evenly across the lower rack.
Over time, wash arms can become clogged with food debris or mineral deposits, reducing water flow. Physical damage such as cracks or warping can also impede the wash arm's rotation and affect its cleaning performance.
Color: Gray
Symptoms of a faulty lower wash arm include:
- Inadequate cleaning of dishes on the lower rack
- Uneven or inconsistent water spray
- Clogged or obstructed spray nozzles
- The arm not spinning or rotating correctly
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Upper spray arm fell off! Grant I. • Lombard , IL • March 14, 2017
Found the retaining clip on the parts list. Watched the videos to figure out how the upper arm attaches. Tried cleaning out the terribly clogged upper arm. Then looked at the lower wash arm--WOW! Talk about ugly clogs! Watched second video to see how that lower arm comes off. Got the lower arm off and realized all the gunk I was able to poke out of the holes would just come back, so replaced both spray arms. YES, the upper arm includes the retaining clip!!
Parts arrived in 1.5 days....
