Customer Questions and Answers for Adjuster by Whirlpool

The Adjustor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is a component located inside the dishwasher that is responsible for adjusting spray arm movement during the wash cycle. The Adjustor utilizes a gear mechanism to control the positioning of the upper and lower spray arms, distributing water pressure efficiently while minimizing noise.

Symptoms of a bad Adjustor include:

• Ineffective cleaning due to inadequate water coverage from irregular spray arm movement 
• Caked on or stubborn food residue remaining on dishes after cycling  
• Grinding or clicking noises emanating from inside the dishwasher
• Premature wear of other internal components such as hoses, gaskets, and seals

Causes of a bad Adjustor can include stripped gears, worn-down components, or accidental impact that disrupts the internal gear mechanism.

This OEM Whirlpool replacement part is also compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Crosley, and some Kenmore models.
