Customer Questions and Answers for Spinner Kit by Whirlpool

Hello Tom, This part goes in the very top of the unit. The water supply tube will have to be removed to install this part since the part has a snap in retainer that has to be installed through the top of this tube into the spinner.

Hello Ron. You need to check the water level in the unit and make sure it is filling up properly. If not, you will need to replace the water valve on the unit. Usually this issue is caused by low water or clogged filters in the unit.

Susie, it snaps onto the very top of the tub above the upper rack. It's the upper wash arm. There should be a little button that went along with it. If you look at the third picture on the part where you posted your question, you'll see a picture of the button. If it's gone you may have to order a new spinner.

Hello Speed, This is the only part recommended by the manufacturer. Unless the manufacturer comes up with a different design and releases it as a kit for your model number, we can only recommend this part for your unit.

Bob, To replace the arm you would push straight up on the spinner assembly. There should be a cap that would go into the spinner assembly that will help to keep it attached to the arm which just pushes in.

Hello Ann. It sounds like the spinner needs to be replaced on the unit.

Tammy, The Upper sprayer at the top of the unit is just a push in style arm. You would just push it in and it should lock in. If not locking in then you would need the upper spray arm 8193983. If the part still does not hold in place then you would need the tower WP8579224.

William, The manufacturer has elimibnated the locking pin as a separate part, and you will need to order the spinner assembly 8193983. From your post description, you may want to check and consider the feed tube WP8579224 as well. If you're having an issue with the spinner falling out, there may be too much flaex or the tolerances are worn to the point the pin won't hold. You also need to make sure articles in the top rack, aren't hitting or catching on the spinner assembly when the rack is moved in or out.

Hi Pam. You will push the spinner 8193983 onto the shaft, and insert the pin into the center to lock it into place. Thank You.

Gary, The first thing to check, is the water level in the bottom of the tub, and the filter on the top of the pump assembly for debris and deposits. Start the dishwasher allow it to fill and wash for 5 minutes, unlatch the door and wait a few seconds, Remove the lower rach and check that the water level is in contact with the bottom of the heater element(at least) if not, you don't have enough water to produce the proper pressure and flow to feed the upper wash arm, and will most likely need a new fill valve WPW10158389 . Good Luck and Thanks
