WD01X10107 General Electric Dishwasher Plastic Wash Arm Bearing

Dishwasher Plastic Wash Arm Bearing, Gray Color

Diameter: 0.5". Suitable for dishwashers that do not clean dishes properly or make noise. This bearing is sold individually.

Compatible with GE, Hotpoint, General Electric, and Sears-Kenmore dishwashers, this genuine OEM replacement part comes directly from the manufacturer. The lower spray arm distributes water during the wash cycle, and this bearing supports the spray arm, reducing friction to allow easier spinning. If dishes remain dirty after washing or the arm makes loud noises, the spin arm bearing may need replacement. Over time, this small metal part can wear out. A damaged bearing can cause the arm to sit unevenly, resulting in loud spinning or failure to spin.

To replace the bearing, turn off the breaker or disconnect the dishwasher's power. Open the dishwasher, remove the bottom rack, and turn the lower spray arm counterclockwise to remove it. Use a telescoping magnet to extract the old bearing from the center hole. Install the new bearing, reattach the spray arm, and replace the dishrack. Reconnect the power.

This gray metal lower spray arm bearing is designed for use in dishwashers by General Electric and Hotpoint. It addresses the issue of noisy operation.
