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 the replacement lid for select top-load washers. It restores a secure, properly aligned cover so the lid closes and the lock/strike can engage, allowing cycles—especially spin—to run safely while helping contain splashes.

• Covers the wash basket and helps contain water splashes during operation
• Provides proper alignment for the lid lock/strike to engage
• Replaces cracked, warped, or broken lids
• May help with: lid won't close/latch and cycles that won't start or won't spin because the lid isn't closing

• Unplug the washer before servicing
• Support the lid and remove hinge screws/pins carefully to prevent damage
• Transfer existing hinge hardware and the lid strike from the old lid if your model uses them
• After installation, close the lid to verify smooth closure and lock engagement before running a cycle

The Vent is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is located inside the dishwasher tub and is responsible for releasing steam generated during wash cycles. The vent works to properly ventilate the tub interior by releasing hot air and steam upwards and out of the dishwasher.

Causes for a bad vent can include cracks, deterioration of vent material over many cycles, or blockages that prevent proper steam release. 

Symptoms of a bad vent include:

• Excess moisture inside the dishwasher tub 
• Reduced drying effectiveness
• Potential water leaks from the vent area
• Error codes related to moisture sensors

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models that use the same vent design.
