The Center Wash Arm Assembly is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool dishwashers. It is a multi-spraying component located in the center of the lower dish rack that helps deliver water for superior washing performance. The arm rotates during the cycle to wash all accessible surfaces of dishes.
Symptoms of a bad Center Wash Arm Assembly include:
- Incomplete or inadequate cleaning of dishes, especially those in the lower rack
- Mineral or hard water deposits building up on dishes
- Reduced water pressure or spray pattern from the wash arm nozzle(s)
Causes of a bad center wash arm can be mineral deposits clogging the nozzle openings over time, or physical damage such as bending or breaking of the arm assembly or its mounting bracket.
This OEM replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore dishwashers.
