This is a genuine OEM replacement lower spray arm bearing sourced directly from the manufacturer for use in dishwashers. The lower spray arm spins to distribute water to the dishes during the wash cycle. Thus spray arm bearing supports the spray arm and lessens the friction, which allows it to spin more easily. If the dishes are not clean after the wash and rinse cycle, or the arm is making loud noises, the spin arm bearing may need to be replaced. This bearing is a small metal part that may wear over time. If the bearing is distorted or damaged, the arm will not sit level, and spinning may be very loud, or it may not spin. The spray arm bearing should be replaced. Turn off the breaker or disconnect the power to the dishwasher. Open the dishwasher and pull the bottom rack out. Turn the lower spray arm counterclockwise to remove it. Use a telescoping magnet to pull the bearing up from the hole in the middle. Install the new bearing and reinstall the spray arm. Put the dishrack back inside and reconnect the power.This lower spray arm bearing is a gray metal part that is sold individually. It is designed for use in dishwashers designed by General Electric and Hotpoint.

Leaking water onto the floor John G. • Canmer , KY • May 28, 2015
The main conduit was broken and the pump connector had a hole in it. The pump also was showing signs of leaking. I completely disassembled the dishwasher cleaned everything and reassembled. The repair videos are a big help. Thank you.
