The Spray Arm is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is a component responsible for distributing water through an array of small spray openings during the cleaning cycle. The spray arm rotates and evenly disperses water and spray over the dishes.

Causes of a bad spray arm can include mineral scale buildup obstructing water flow through the spray holes, damage or cracking weakening the plastic construction, or worn bearings preventing proper rotation.

Symptoms of a bad spray arm include:

• Inadequate or uneven cleaning even on lightly soiled dishes
• Dirt and food particles left behind after washing
• Clogged or inoperable spray holes.

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

This is a dishwasher pump and motor assembly. The pump and motor sit at the bottom of the dishwasher. The pump moves water into the dishwasher and then up through the sprayers. It also pumps water out of the dishwasher and into the drain. The motor provides power to the pump, ensuring that it operates. Over time, both the pump and the motor will suffer from wear and tear through normal use. Signs that replacement may be needed include water remaining in the bottom of the dishwasher after a cycle, no water being sprayed during a cycle, or the machine being completely inoperable. To replace the pump/motor, first turn off the breaker to the appliance.This is a genuine OEM replacement part and is sold individually. It is compatible with Whirlpool, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, and Kenmore dishwashers.
