Conner January 22, 2016 for Model Number GE dishwasher My top sprayer line keeps coming off at the bottom on the pump since it is really tight, so I want to replace it. What hose pressure does the hose need to be and also what temperature rating?
1 Answer Conner, Unfortunately we do not have information on the pressure or temperature rating for the sprayer line. Read More...
Daniel June 18, 2014 for Model Number GSD3425F00BB About 1 year ago, I replaced the pump assembly. In the past couple months, our dishwasher gradually started cleaning poorly. Today, I removed the screens to clean and check for any clogs. I found the rear screen somewhat clogged with a piston valve almost totally blocked with buildup. After cleaning the valve, screen, and other areas, it seems to be cleaning much better. However, I noticed the upper spray arm not turning. I checked the water level and it was about 1/2 inch or more below the top of notch on the float cover. I added water up to just above this mark (about 1 inch below the heating element). The upper arm still does not turn. The upper arm seems sloppy to me - turns okay but does not spin level to ground. Instead, it sort of leans down on one end of the arm versus the other end. Is this normal for these arms? Also, do you have to remove the dishwasher to replace the arm.
1 Answer Hello Daniel, The spray arm will be floppy and will normally not set level. The water pressure from the circulating pump pressurizes it and makes it spin. The issue you are describing sounds like the "D" valve in the pump WD26X10013 is not holding the pressure properly. This is normally caused by pre-rinsing the dishes and over soaping. This allows the chemical reaction produced from the detergent coming up to 140°F, to attack the rubber parts in the dishwasher. This will cause part of the water pressure to be lost through the drain. Read More...
Jeff March 15, 2014 for Model Number gsd4420x73bb The upper spray arm is not moving at all. The bottom has gotten stuck occasionally. Do I have to remove the dishwasher to replace it? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Jeff, The spray arms are serviceable from inside the tub without removing the dishwasher. Be aware that the spray arms not moving is usually an indication of low water pressure from the circulation pump inside the unit. This is normally caused by stopped up screens or a stuck check valve.

Michael H December 05, 2013 for Model Number GSD3425F00BB If the 3rd level spray arm is flopping around and the screws that hold the assembly on are tight, can I just replace the arm? If not can you give me the Item # for the part I need to fix the problem. Thank You.
1 Answer Hello Michael. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the top spray arm WD28X10103 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Michael H December 05, 2013 for Model Number GSD3425F00BB My 3rd level spray arm is real loose, some time I hear it hitting the top of the washer when it spins. I need to know if the whole assembly needs to be replaced or can the spray arm be replaced to fix the problem? Thank you for the help.
1 Answer Hello Michael. If the screws are loose you may just be able to tighten them. However, if they are good, and the spray arm is loose, you will need to replace the assembly WD28X10103. Read More...
Joe November 20, 2013 for Model Number GE dishwasher GSD4800G00BB I have a built-in dishwasher and the upper spray arm keeps falling off. How do I replace the upper spray arm assembly? Do I have to pull in entire dishwasher out to access the screws that hold the assembly. Thanks
1 Answer Joe, Yes, to access the screws holding the upper spray arm in place you will need to pull the unit out of installation and remove the screws. Read More...
Oldman October 12, 2013 for Model Number edw1500g00ww There is a 90 degree rubber boot that one end connects to the hose suppling water to the 3rd level spray arm assembly on the outside of the unit. The other end of this rubber boot has a rubber flange that is pushed through the top of the dish washer unit and sits under the spray arm assembly. My unit is leaking from around the rubber boot where it enters the top of the unit. The 90 degree rubber boot "flange end" is somewhat worn on my unit. I can not find this part anywhere. I just sealed around the boot with silicone where it enters the top of the dish washer and it may work "Not tested yet". No one on this page is talking about the 90 degree rubber boot? Maybe this attachment has changed in the late 8 years?
1 Answer Old Man, The part that you are referring to is part of the water supply hose and is part number WD24X214. The rubber boot itself cannot be replaced individually and you would need to replace the hose. Read More...
Brian March 05, 2013 for Model Number GE Dishwasher Model GSD5330D02WW I am replacing my 3rd Level Spray Arm Assembly and the hose that attaches to it. My installed assembly and hose has a sealant (similar to caulk) poured around the penetration through the top of the dishwasher. It appears the sealant was pourd into the indentation around the penetration and allowed to set up. I will need to remove the sealant to be able to replace the Spray Arm and Hose. Is the sealant something that needs to be replaced?
1 Answer Brian, There should not be any type of sealant around the upper spray arm and you would not have to put any on when installing new assembly. Read More...
Lisa March 15, 2012 for Model Number AP3184058 I am trying to install this upper sprayer arm, and I understand that with the new part the mount is attached directly to the arm, so I need to remove the mount that is already on the dishwasher and attach this one. I can not figure out how to do either one of those things...
1 Answer Hello Lisa. Uninstall the dishwasher and remove the screws securing the spary arm WD28X10103 to the tub. Hope this helps. Read More...
Sheryl L. December 06, 2011 for Model Number 36315324100 Serial No: FG-306590R The third level spray arm at the top of the dishwasher became disconnected when I removed the dishwasher. I can't figure out how to reconnect the hose. Am I missing a part? I saw the same problem listed in the Q&A section and the pro suggested ordering the third level spray arm. I ordered the part but it looks the same as the part on the dishwasher. There is still no way to connect the hose to the arm. HELP! We are having a large Christmas party at our church and desperatly need this dishwasher to be functional by Friday.
1 Answer Hello Sheryl. The spray arm WD28X10103 is held onto the assembly with screws WD02X10061. If the screws are missing from the top, you will need to order the screws. If the bracket from the old one is there, just remove the screws and bracket and install the new spray arm. Hope this helps. Read More...
