The Lower Spray Arm is used in your dishwasher to spray water and clean your dishes. If broken there will be visible damage or your dishes may no longer be cleaned properly. If your spray arm is broken (due to general wear or high heat), it should be replaced. Your lower spray arm will be located at the bottom of your dishwasher tub. Check your user manual and model number to ensure this model is right for you. This version is plastic and metal and comes in gray/blue. We recommend you wear work gloves to keep your hands safe when installing and disconnect power to the appliance. You will also want to make sure that you turn off the water supply to your dishwasher. From here, you will want to open the dishwasher, pull out the lower rack and set it aside. Remove the lower wash arm. On each side of the bottom of the spray arm, there are small locking tabs that can be pushed aside using a flathead screwdriver. Once released, the spray arm can easily be pulled off the dishwasher. Put the new lower wash arm in place and push it down to lock it in. Ensure it is spinning freely and does not hit the heating element. Return the lower dish rack into place and then close the dishwasher door.

Lower spray arm support vibrated out, melted lower spray arm.
Grab the tab on the support and rotate 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to unlock it, then lift it off. The lower spray arm simply pops off the support by spreading two tabs underneath.
Align the opening in the lower spray arm support with the outlet post in the bottom and rotate 1/4 turn clockwise to lock.
*Note: directio
... Read moren to remove the filter basket differed from the manual. Visually line up the notches and do not twist too far when locking or you WILL break the retainer tabs.
Simply center the lower spray arm over the support and press down until it locks into place.
The original lower spray arm had one end break loose the metal retainer end. I used a temporary small hose clamp to fix as I waited for the new lower arm to arrive.
The design is very easy.... pull up on the OLD and then just push DOWN on the new arm into the bottom.

Lower spray arm did not fit
It appeared that the part ordered was either incorrect or the part was incorrectly picked. I have returned the part and hope the next try will be more successful.
Old spray arm melted and clogged, had popped off once and laid against heat coil.
Popped off the old spray arm ... INTENTIONALLY, and put new one in. Had to lift off small strainer to allow old arm to release! Be sure to turn arm until it clicks into place, return small strainer/clip, and you are in business! Most trouble I had was getting this old bo y up off the floor afterward. Dished so much cleane

The lower dishwasher arm was a replacement for the previous one.
I removed the bottom drawer and glass trap in order to remove the old melted down washer arm. Once those parts were removed I was able to easily secure the new replacement be ensuring that it was turned enough and fit down securely (side note, if you don't hear the arm click or snap into place, it isn't secure). The part works just fine,

The dishwasher wasn't cleaning the dishes
I rolled the lower basket out of the way, lifted the spray arm up and out. Then I located the replacement part on Frigidaire's website and placed the order. The part came quickly and I snapped it into place. No tools required. Now my wife is happy and so am I.

Is there an installation instruction online
For model number PS12585623
Good Day Betsy. Thank you for your question in regards to the Dishwasher Lower Spray Arm (PartSelect Number PS12585623). Based on our research, here are the steps to replace the part: 1) Ensure your unit is unplugged or the circuit breakers are off before beginning any repair. 2) Turn off the dishwashers water supply underneath the sink. 3) Open up the dishwasher door. 4) Pull the lower rack out and set it aside. 5) Reach in to remove the lower wash arm (On each side on the bottom of the Spray Arm, there are small locking tabs that can be pushed aside using a flathead screw driver to release it from the unit). 6) Once locking tabs have been released, you can pull it off the dishwasher. 7) Put the new lower wash arm in (simply set it down onto its support and push it down to lock it in place). 8) Ensure it is spinning freely and does not hit the heating element. 9) Put the lower dish rack back in. 10) Close the dishwasher door and you are done. We hope this helps! Best Regards.

Does the bottom arm have to be replaced if it's wobbly and keeps hitting the bottom rack? I took the rack out and it cleans fine so i know it's the bottom arm. I do not see a model number on the part and i'm not sure what number to put otherwise from the stickers inside.
For model number I'm not sure how to find it.
Hi Abby,
Thank you for your question. If the lower spray arm is loose and you are unable to tighten it, then it should be replaced. If you could resubmit your question, with the model number from your dishwasher, we would be happy to help you with this. Here is a link from our website that you may reference on where to locate the model number on your dishwasher, https://www.partselect.com/Find-Your-Dishwasher-Model-Number.aspx. If you have any questions, please let us know.
