The Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It secures the spray arm to the dishwasher, ensuring it rotates properly to distribute water evenly throughout the dishwasher during cleaning cycles.  

Common causes of a faulty spray arm screw include wear and tear from regular use, corrosion from exposure to water and detergents, or damage from improper installation or removal.

Symptoms of a bad spray arm screw include:

• The spray arm not rotating or functioning correctly
• Loose or wobbly spray arm
• Unusual noises coming from the spray arm during operation
• Poor cleaning performance due to inadequate water distribution

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

The Upper Wash Arm is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is responsible for spraying water across the upper rack during the wash cycle to effectively clean dishes. It measures approximately 7.5 inches long by 1.37 inches wide.

Causes of a bad upper wash arm can include mineral or lime scale buildup that clogs the spray nozzles, or damage to the arm itself such as cracks or breaks that compromise its spraying ability.

Symptoms of a bad upper wash arm include:

• Inadequate cleaning of upper rack dishes 
• Dirty dishes after a cycle
• Clogged or blocked spray nozzles
• Visible damage or wear to the arm

This OEM replacement wash arm from Whirlpool is compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models as well.

The Retainer is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool built-in dishwashers. It is a plastic clip located within the lower wash arm assembly. This retainer securely holds the pivot hub bearing and ensures smooth oscillation of the lower wash arm during cycles.  

Causes of retainer failure commonly relate to plastic material degradation from regular heat and chemical exposures over many uses. Crack propagation weakens the clips ability to precisely position bearing elements.

Symptoms of an inadequate retainer may include:

• Grinding or scraping noises coming from the wash arm area
• Restricted movement or binding of the lower spray arm assembly
• Potential loose wash arm parts that could interrupt spray patterns  

This OEM Whirlpool replacement is also compatible with KitchenAid, Maytag, and some Sears/Kenmore dishwashers.
