Customer Questions and Answers for Arm-Spray by Whirlpool

The Spray Arm is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is a component that evenly distributes  water throughout the washing cycle. The spray arm rotates and sprays water at just the right pressure to thoroughly clean dishes on both the upper and lower racks.

Causes of a bad spray arm can be mineral deposits or limescale buildup that affects water flow, damage such as cracks or breaks due to age or mishandling, or worn spray nozzles that do not provide proper force.

Symptoms of a bad spray arm include:

• Inadequate or uneven cleaning, even with pre-rinsing
• Water not spraying forcefully or missing certain areas
• Buildup of food and debris that isn't being rinsed away
• Loose, wobbly or broken spray arm mounting or connections

This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
