The Arm-Spray is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This component is responsible for distributing water throughout the dishwasher during the cleaning cycles. It rotates and sprays water to ensure that all dishes are thoroughly cleaned, reaching all corners of the dishwasher.
Causes of a bad arm-spray can include clogging from food particles or mineral deposits, damage from heavy items or utensils blocking its path, or wear and tear from regular use.
Symptoms of a bad arm-spray include:
- Poor cleaning performance with food residue left on dishes
- The spray arm not rotating properly
- Unusual noises during the wash cycle
- Water not reaching the upper racks
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
