Lower Spray Arm

★★★★★

4 Reviews

Fix Number FIX12585623

Manufacturer Part Number 5304517203

This is a single lower spray arm found in dishwashers to spray water and detergent vigorously over the dishes. This spray arm is made of plastic, so can warp or crack with time. The holes in the spray arm can get clogged with debris, so it should be cleaned every so often. If it is beyond cleaning or damaged, it will need to be replaced. If the holes are clogged, this can sometimes mean there is a problem with the filter system, so it is a good idea to inspect this as well. For this repair, start by turning off the water supply to the dishwasher. Pull the lower rack out of the dishwasher and out of the way. Remove the lower wash arm. Using a flathead screwdriver, push the small locking tabs located on each side at the bottom of the spray arm. You should now be able to easily pull the spray arm out of the dishwasher. Align the new lower wash arm and push it down to secure it in place. Make sure it can spin freely and is not making contact with the heating element. Place the lower dishrack back into the appliance and close the door.

Installation Instructions

Leesa from Clarksburg, WV

Took lower stray arm off because of draining issues, put back together and arm melted after starting.

The reviews before mine helped A LOT!! First of all, It has everything to do with making sure that when the arm is installed that it is turned until it clicks/locks in. This is why my arm melted when I put it back together the first time. I read the reviews before I purchased and that was really the only way I knew how to repair the piece. It does not come with instructions. Read more...

Dishwasher Bottom Door Gasket

★★★★★

3 Reviews

Fix Number FIX9495545

Manufacturer Part Number 809006501

This dishwasher door gasket is attached to the bottom of the door, creating a strong seal between the tub and the outer edge of the door. This seal is prone to wear and tear due to its constant exposure to water, detergent, and food particles. If the gasket appears cracked, broken, or you notice a leak coming from the door, it will need to be replaced immediately. This gasket measures approximately 23 inches long. For this simple repair, no tools are necessary. Open the dishwasher door and remove the bottom rack. The gasket is located right along the bottom of the door, molded inside the channel. It is held in place in the groove across the bottom. Remove the old gasket by pulling it out with your hands. Take your new silicone gasket and line it up so the notch fits into the groove and slide it in place until it is secure. Reinstall the lower dishrack. We recommend leaving the door closed for a few hours to ensure the gasket is sealed tightly.

Dishwasher Tub Gasket - Gray

Fix Number FIX8260227

Manufacturer Part Number 154827601

The door gasket provides a watertight seal between the tub and the door, to keep water from leaking out of your dishwasher. If your dishwasher is leaking you may need to replace the door gasket. This gray door gasket is made of rubber and measures approximately 73 inches. For this repair, open the dishwasher door and remove the lower dish tray. Use your hands to pull out the old gasket. Clean the channel with a rag. Press the new gasket in place so it sits inside the groove in the door. Keep the door closed tightly for a few hours to ensure a strong seal is made.

leak from door

I ordered the top 3 parts in terms of probability of solving the problem (water inlet valve, tub gasket, and bottom door gasket). I installed all 3 and it did not solve the door leak. Then I realized that the bottom door gasket had come out (in other words, I had not installed it properly). I reinstalled the bottom door gasket (a critical point is that it has to be *pressed in* firmly -- there should be some resistance), and it worked. Note that the bottom door gasket is a hybrid between a true seal and a splash guard. The notch in the middle is designed to drain water from the door back into the tub. Because of that notch opening, there is sputtering and splashing at various points of the wash cycle. This appears to be by design, and those splashes result in water being absorbed by the insulating foam. Thank you to the previous submission/posting authors, as this is what clued me in.

★★★★★

4 Reviews

Fix Number FIX11726733

Manufacturer Part Number WD35X21038

The wheels on the lower rack of your dishwasher allow for the rack to slide in and out smoothly. If this is not happening, it may be necessary to replace one or more of the wheels. This kit includes 8 wheels along with 8 axels, both of which are made of white plastic. Replacing a wheel is easy, and just requires a set of pliers. For this repair, you will want to remove the bottom rack from your dishwasher and place it on a solid work surface. Remove the damaged wheels from the rack by unclipping the axel and pulling them off. Insert the new axel into the new wheel pushing firmly until it locks into place. Slide the axel onto the rack, and clip into place. As this kit contains genuine OEM parts, it ensures the parts will be the proper fit for your appliance model.

RACK SLIDE END CAP

★★★★★

1 Review

Fix Number FIX2370502

Manufacturer Part Number WD12X10304

The rack slide end cap attaches to the rails of the upper dishrack, to prevent it from sliding all the way out. It is a one-inch white plastic part that can break over time. This might be the part you need if you are not able to close the dishwasher door properly. If this part is worn or damaged, it can be replaced by popping out the cap with a small flat-blade screwdriver and snapping the new one in its place. If the rear cap needs to be replaced, you will need to remove both the front caps and completely remove it for full access. Keep in mind that this part is sold individually, and more than one may be required, depending on your repair. This is an inexpensive part, so we suggest purchasing several at a time to have on hand in case you need it.

Broken roller wheel on the right side of upper rack.

I bought these parts for my girlfriend, had them sent to her house, and before I could get there to help her fix the dishwasher, she had done it herself! She reported that it was straightforward and was not nearly as difficult as she dreaded it would be. I think her comment was, 'I should have done this a LONG time ago vs just putting up with it being broken!' Don't be afraid to dig in there and do it yourself; you'll be amazed at the self-confidence and sense of satisfaction you get from the repair. Read more...

12 Reviews

Fix Number FIX11722152

Manufacturer Part Number W10195416V

This OEM gray plastic lower dishrack wheel assembly allows the rack to slide in and out of the dishwasher with ease. It measures roughly 3 by 6 inches.

It attaches directly to the dishrack and is a quick and easy repair. There are 4 dishrack wheel assemblies in total on your appliance, so this is a good time to inspect all 4, as this part is sold individually. To repair, open the dishwasher door and pull out the lower dishrack. Next, push the tab from both sides and it should pop out. To install the new wheel assembly, place it on the rack and make sure the caps overlap the wire from the inside before you clip it in place by pushing the wheel.

LOWER RACK ROLLER

Fix Number FIX16217024

Manufacturer Part Number WD12X26146

The roller helps the lower rack of your dishwasher to smoothly slide in and out of your appliance. A broken or worn roller wheel can make it clunky or difficult to get the rack in and out of the dishwasher, and the part should be replaced. The rollers are sold individually, however there are four in total in your dishwasher. You may want to replace all at the same time to ensure they have even wear. Replacing a broken roller is a simple job and may require the use of a flat blade screwdriver. Remove the entire lower rack from your dishwasher and place it on a suitable work surface. Release the tabs to open the cover on the roller assembly, using the screwdriver if necessary to pry them open. Pull the damaged wheel off the assembly and push the new one into place. Reattached the cover and place the rack back into the bottom of your dishwasher. The lower rack should now easily glide in and out. These rollers are genuine OEM parts that measure approximately 1.5 inches in diameter and are charcoal in color.
