Description

This diverter directs dishwasher wash water to the upper spray arm, restoring proper water distribution for the top rack. Replacing a worn or broken diverter helps recover consistent spray coverage and cleaning performance. What it does:

• Redirects wash water flow to the upper spray arm so the top rack receives proper spray.
• Ensures even water distribution for improved cleaning of items on the upper rack.
• Helps correct symptoms such as poor cleaning on the top rack or reduced spray to the upper spray arm.
• Works with the dishwasher's spray system—operates with water pressure from the pump to route flow.

What's included: One diverter. Install notes:

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply to the appliance before servicing.
• Use basic hand tools and follow the appliance's service diagram; avoid forcing tabs or fittings.
• Inspect nearby seals, gaskets and mounting tabs during replacement and replace if damaged.
• After installation, run a short cycle to check that the upper spray arm receives water and check for leaks.
