W11545334 Whirlpool Upper Wash Arm Assembly

The Upper Wash Arm Assembly is a key component in Whirlpool dishwashers, which also fits models from Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Whirlpool manufactures parts for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea as well. This particular OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, known as the Manifold, plays a pivotal role in channeling water from the inlet valve to essential areas such as the pump, arms, and dispenser. It ensures that each phase of the washing cycle gets the appropriate amount of water at the necessary temperature and pressure.

A malfunctioning manifold may show signs of wear such as cracks, warping, or blockages that impede water flow, affecting the dishwasher's efficiency over time.

Indications of a faulty manifold include:
- Reduced cleaning effectiveness
- Incomplete water coverage inside the dishwasher
- Water leaks or pooling near the valve area
- Unusual noises from the dishwasher

Maintaining optimal water flow is crucial for the dishwasher’s cleaning efficiency. Replacing a defective manifold with this genuine Whirlower OEM part can help maintain the appliance's performance.

This part is also suitable for use with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and Kenmore.
