This dishwasher spray arm directs high-pressure wash water through its jets and rotates for even coverage across the rack. Replace a cracked, clogged, or warped arm to restore thorough cleaning and consistent spray performance.

• Distributes water from the wash pump through spray jets to clean dishes
• Rotates for full-coverage washing; free-spinning is critical
• Helps maintain correct water flow and pressure to the rack zone
• Common symptoms: poor cleaning, arm not spinning, weak spray, visible cracks or clogged holes

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Remove rack if needed; release the retaining clip/tab or nut and pull the old arm off
• Clear debris from the hub; transfer any reusable hardware; press the new arm on until fully seated
• Run a short test cycle to verify spray

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 nozzle guide positions and supports the dishwasher spray nozzle on the rack, helping it align with the rear feed port for reliable water flow to the spray arm and consistent cleaning performance.

• Aligns the rack nozzle with the dishwasher's water feed port
• Stabilizes the nozzle to help ensure steady spray delivery
• If worn or broken, you may notice poor cleaning on the affected rack
• Can also cause intermittent spray or drips at the rear nozzle connection and difficulty engaging the rack nozzle

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Pull the rack forward, remove rack end caps/stops, and lift the rack out
• Release the old guide from the nozzle assembly; install the new guide and verify smooth movement and proper alignment with the feed port
• Reinstall the rack, restore power/water, and run a short test to check spray and for leaks

This dishwasher spray arm directs rotating jets of water to clean dishes. Replacing a cracked, clogged, or broken spray arm restores proper water coverage for improved cleaning and more consistent wash results. What it does:

• Directs pressurized water through built-in nozzles to create rotating jets for effective dish cleaning.
• Helps maintain even water coverage across the racks; damaged or blocked arms can cause poor or uneven cleaning.
• Connects to the spray arm hub and turns during cycles; broken mounts or excessive wobble can cause noise or binding.
• Easy to inspect—look for visible cracks, clogged holes, or wobble that indicate replacement is needed.

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing the appliance.
• Remove racks as needed to access the arm; clear debris from nozzles and the hub before installing the new arm.
• Install in the correct orientation and secure per OEM fitting—do not force or overtighten; ensure the arm spins freely.
• Run a short rinse cycle after installation to check for leaks.

This lower manifold support secures the appliance's lower manifold assembly, keeping water and valve components properly aligned for reliable operation and reduced movement. It helps prevent undue stress on connections and reduces wear. What it does:

• Holds the lower manifold/valve assembly in the correct position to prevent sagging or misalignment
• Reduces vibration and movement that can lead to loose fittings or leaks
• Helps maintain a proper seal at manifold connections to minimize water drip or seepage
• Can stop rattling or clunking noises caused by a loose manifold assembly

• One lower manifold support bracket

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before starting work
• Basic hand tools required; handle the manifold and connected tubing carefully
• Inspect adjacent gaskets, hoses and fittings for wear and replace as needed

The Middle Spray Arm is an OEM replacement part for GE dishwashers. It is an internal component responsible for distributing water and washing accessories to dishes located in the center rack of the dishwasher. 

Symptoms of a bad middle spray arm include:

• Dirty dishes located in the center rack, even after a full wash cycle
• Noticeably reduced water pressure from the center spray nozzle 
• Clogged or blocked spray holes in the arm

Causes of a bad middle spray arm can be normal wear and tear, mineral buildup obstructing spray outlets, or physical damage to the arm itself.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The spray arm assembly distributes pressurized wash water through its jets and rotates to clean dishes. If it's cracked, clogged, or not turning freely, replacing it restores proper spray coverage and cleaning performance.

• Directs water through jet openings to wash dishes throughout the tub
• Rotates by water force for even spray coverage
• Common symptoms: poor cleaning results, arm not spinning, visible cracks/warping, or clogged holes
• May cause unusual knocking if the arm is loose or contacting items

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower rack; release the existing spray arm from the center retainer (method varies by model)
• Clear any debris from the pump outlet and seating surface
• Seat the new arm fully and ensure it spins freely before running a test cycle

This mid-spray conduit routes wash water from the circulation system to the middle spray arm, delivering consistent coverage to the center rack. Replacing a cracked or clogged conduit can restore washing performance and help prevent leaks inside the tub.

• Directs wash water from the pump to the mid-level spray arm
• Maintains proper flow for the middle wash zone and spray arm rotation
• A damaged or obstructed conduit can cause poor cleaning on upper racks or weak/erratic spray
• Cracks, broken tabs, or loose sealing can lead to leaks from the rear of the tub

• Disconnect power and water; wear gloves to protect hands
• Remove rack(s) as needed, release rear-wall fasteners/clips, and detach the conduit from its connections
• Align and fully seat the new conduit at all docking points until tabs lock securely
• Run a short test cycle to check for leaks and proper spray operation
