✓ Installation Tips

Disconnect power to the dishwasher before servicing. The lower spray arm snaps onto the spray arm hub at the center of the dishwasher tub floor. Rotate the old arm counterclockwise to unlock it from the hub and lift it off. Before installing the new arm, flush the hub with water to clear any debris. Snap the new spray arm onto the hub and rotate clockwise to lock. Spin the arm by hand to confirm it rotates freely with no obstructions. Restore power and run a short wash cycle to confirm full rotation and cleaning performance.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my spray arm needs replacing? If your dishwasher is not cleaning dishes properly, check the spray arm first. Spin it by hand — it should rotate freely. Inspect the nozzle holes for clogs. If the arm is cracked, warped, or has broken nozzles, replace it. See our Dishwasher Not Cleaning Dishes Properly guide for full diagnosis steps.

Can I clean a clogged spray arm instead of replacing it? Yes — if the arm is intact but the nozzles are clogged with hard water deposits, soak it in white vinegar for 30 minutes and use a toothpick to clear the nozzle holes. If the arm is cracked or broken, replacement is required.
