Parts for Maytag JDB1255AWS2: 04 - Lower Washarm Parts

The Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner is an OEM accessory designed specifically for Whirlpool brand dishwashers. This citrus-scented tablet removes residue, odor-causing soils, and food particles from the dishwasher tub and gasket area during the cleaning cycle. Symptoms of a buildup include unwanted odors emanating from the dishwasher, especially after opening the door. Over time, residue and grime accumulate in hard-to-reach areas and provide an environment for mold and mildew growth.

Regular cleaning helps prevent this by removing leftover soils before they harden or encourage bacterial activity. The Affresh tablet utilizes a unique blend of cleaning ingredients that target soils and biofilms through a combination of powerful scrubbing action and natural cleaning enzymes.

As the #1 recommended dishwasher cleaner brand, Affresh is also compatible for use in Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and select Kenmore dishwashers for consistent cleanliness and freshness. The package includes six tablets 4.2 ounces

This wash arm cap secures the dishwasher spray arm to its hub so it spins freely and distributes water. Replace a worn or missing cap to restore wash performance and keep the spray arm from loosening or coming off.

• Locks the spray arm onto its post/hub for proper alignment
• Allows smooth rotation for even water spray coverage
• Helps prevent wobbling, noise, or the arm detaching during cycles
• Common signs: spray arm falls off, is loose, doesn't spin, or dishes aren't getting clean

• Disconnect power; open the door and remove the rack to access the spray arm
• Unscrew and remove the old cap; lift off the spray arm if needed
• Seat the spray arm and hand-thread the new cap; tighten snugly without over-tightening
• Spin the spray arm by hand to ensure free movement before running a cycle

Lower wash arm redirects pressurized water across the dishwasher's lower rack to rinse and remove food and residue, restoring intended wash coverage and improving cleaning performance. What it does:

• Directs jets of water through multiple spray holes to rinse dishes on the lower rack.
• Helps remove stuck-on food, film and spotting on plates, bowls and cookware.
• Replaces cracked, clogged or broken lower spray arms that can cause poor cleaning or leftover residue.
• Works with the dishwasher's pump flow to maintain proper spray pattern across the lower rack.

• Refer to your model's parts diagram and instructions; the arm commonly snaps or threads onto the lower spray arm mount and procedures vary by model.
• Always disconnect power to the dishwasher before servicing; follow basic safety precautions.
• Clean the filter and any debris from spray holes before installing to avoid re-clogging.
• Inspect the mounting clip or retaining nut when removing the old arm and replace if damaged.
