Oven/Dishwasher Screw

This item is sold separately. Whirlpool manufactures products under several brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Spray Arm Screw is an OEM component for Whirlpool dishwashers. It plays a crucial role in securing the spray arm, ensuring proper rotation and water distribution during washing cycles.

The screw fits precisely into the mounting hole or socket, keeping the spray arm in place while allowing it to rotate freely. It is typically made from durable materials such as stainless steel or plastic to endure the high temperatures and moisture inside the dishwasher.

Common issues with spray arm screws include wear and tear, stripping or cross-threading, and damage from incorrect installation or removal.

Signs of a faulty spray arm screw include:

- The spray arm becoming loose or detaching during the wash cycle
- Poor water distribution due to improper spray arm rotation
- Leaks or water seepage from the spray arm mounting area

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.
