The Arm-Spray Assembly is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is a multi-functional assembly that includes both the upper and lower arms as well as the water sprayer. This assembly works together to provide thorough and complete washing coverage during cycles through strategically placed sprays of water.

Symptoms of a bad arm-spray assembly can include:

• Incomplete or ineffective cleaning even on short cycles  
• Dirty dishes or food debris remaining after wash cycles
• Improper or uneven water distribution 
• Arms or nozzles becoming blocked or clogged

Causes are typically normal wear over time as the moving plastic and rubber components endure continuous rotating and spraying motions during each wash. 

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models. Replace with this genuine part to restore full washing capability.

This is a vent blower motor assembly that actively pushes moist air out of the dishwasher during the drying cycle. It helps improve drying performance by forcing humid air through the vent.

This is a flexible or semi-rigid tube that routes hot, moist air from the dishwasher's drying vent to the exterior or exhaust point.

Replace this tube if it is cracked, kinked, or clogged, which can cause poor drying performance or moisture buildup inside the dishwasher.
