This OEM mid spray or center wash arm assembly distributes water and detergent in your dishwasher during the wash cycle. It has small nozzles that spray water onto your dishes and is located between the lower and upper rack. A broken assembly will result in weak water flow and ineffective dishwashing. It may also display signs of damage such as cracks, breaks, or missing nozzles. Additionally, a malfunctioning assembly can cause imbalanced water flow, potentially leading to damage to other dishwasher components such as filters or pumps. Prompt replacement is necessary to ensure proper dishwashing performance and prevent further damage. To install this to your appliance, you will need to snap its mounting bracket onto the rack before attaching the arms onto it. This replacement part is sold individually.

This ultra-fine filter kit is compatible with various models of dishwasher and is a genuine part straight from the manufacturer. It is responsible for catching small food particles, debris, and other items that are washed off dishes during the cleaning process. The filter stops these particles from clogging the drain hose and other internal components thereby preventing damage to the dishwasher, maintaining a clear flow of water, and reducing unpleasant odors. The filter also prevents the debris from recirculating onto the clean dishes. You can find the dishwasher filter at the bottom of the dishwasher tub. It is recommended to clean the filter thoroughly every 3 to 6 months.
