Upper Wash Arm Kit

The parts you are pulling out are the spray propeller and the hose it is attached to. The hose goes over the top of the washer and down the back and connects at the base of the dishwasher. We disconnected the entire piece down to the bottom of the washer. You can move the hose to the right and this makes it easier pull out. We then took the new pieces, which involved a propeller and two connectors and put it together. The pieces snap easily into place. We then snapped the hose back into the washer and connected the lower hose to the bottom of the washer.

The hardest part of this was reaching the hose in the back of the washer. My husband had to lean in and reach to the back and pull the hose out of the brackets. It’s an awkward position.

Absolutely helps to read the other reviews. I placed a dark color towel in the base of the dishwasher because I dropped the top (white) pin the first time I tried to put it in the hole. Be sure the towel is all the way to the back of the base. I placed the arm on with holes facing down toward the top shelf and then snapped on the connect ... Read more or and-- wallah done!

It turned into a 2 day job. Let me explain. You can easily bend the water [pipe] down to insert the rivet (without removing any trays or the water pipe). However it slipped and fell into the washer. I tore the washer apart literally looking for it. Lesson_ if you try this method, put something over the upper tray. After ordering another p ...

I did search the trays obviously without success.With washer totally disassemble (down to removing the lower washer arm assembly. Replacing was piece of cake. Lesson learned.
