Dishwasher Upper Wash Arm Retainer

Whirlpool manufactures a variety of brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This component, the upper spray arm mount, is essential for various dishwasher models. It connects the water supply manifold to the spray arm, allowing water to flow from the manifold to the spray arm, which then distributes water across the dishes during a cycle.

If the upper spray arm mount is damaged or cracked, the spray arm may detach, potentially causing further damage. Therefore, it is important to replace the mount if needed. To replace it, you will need a 5/16-inch screwdriver. Ensure the dishwasher is unplugged and the water supply is turned off before beginning. Open the dishwasher door and locate the upper spray arm. The mount is attached to the spray arm. Remove the old mount with the screwdriver and install the new one.

This is a genuine OEM replacement part, sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually and is compatible with dishwashers made by Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Whirlpool.
