00668384 Bosch Lower Wash Arm

The Lower Wash Arm is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed for Bosch dishwashers, and it also fits Thermador, Gaggenau, and certain Kenmore models. This component is crucial for the dishwasher's functionality as it cleans dishes on the lower rack by spraying them with pressurized water, which helps remove food particles and debris.

The efficiency of the lower wash arm is vital for ensuring that dishes come out clean. It operates by rotating and directing water at the dishes, enhancing the machine's overall cleaning capability.

Common issues with the lower wash arm might include clogs, blockages, or physical damage, which can impede its rotation and effectiveness. Signs that there might be a problem with the lower wash arm include:

- Dishes remaining dirty after the dishwasher has run a complete cycle.
- Inadequate water reaching the dishes on the lower rack.
- Visible food residue in the area of the lower rack and wash arm.

Maintaining the lower wash arm in good condition is essential for optimal performance of the dishwasher.
