This is a replacement lower wash arm assembly for your dishwasher. The lower spray arm is mounted to the bottom of your dishwasher tub and will rotate and spray water during the wash cycle. The spray arm has small holes that spray the water, and these can become clogged with debris and hard water buildup inside your dishwasher. The spray arm can also become jammed if silverware falls into the main tub during the cycle. These problems can cause the spray arm to malfunction, which will result in your dishes coming out of the dishwasher unclean. This part is made of white plastic and is sold individually.

The telescopic part of the washer was broken.

The part came in as ordered. After removing the dish rack, I loosened three 1/4" screws (two on the strainer basket and one at the base of the spray arm. I had to slide the rubber hose down and back to disconnect the base which I did by turning counter clockwise. The new one went in by reversing what I just described. Other than two of the screws being difficult to reach, everything worked fine.Thanks for your site.

This lower rack wheel kit includes 8 wheels and 8 axles that allow the lower dishwasher rack to slide in and out smoothly. If your dishwasher door will not close, is noisy when operating, or the dishes are not cleaning properly, you might need to replace one or more of the wheels. Each wheel and axle are made of plastic, and fit into one another so they can be clipped on to the lower dishwasher rack. Many of our customers found this repair to be quick and easy, and the only tool you should need to complete the repair is a pair of pliers.

The rear wheels were missing on the lower rack.

The wheels came with a clip on part that clipped to the rack and the wheel snapped into that clip. I am a woman and it was easy for me to do. Thanks to Parts Select for being an easy to use and navigate site, for quick shipment and for good directions with the parts. Sincerely, Teresa from Alabama.

Lower rack wheel was melted

Unsnapped clip,and moved it 90 degrees. Slip wheel and clip off. Installed clip on new wheel. replaced new wheel. The wheel did not come with a new clip and was not suggested on the parts list. The existing clip was still OK but if it was not, I would have had to order a clip and wait. All in all, a good experience.

The Rack Slide End Cap is a white one-inch plastic part which replaces the end cap for your dishwasher rack, preventing your rack from sliding too far. If you find the dish rack is causing the door to not close properly, it may be due to the part being worn out or damaged. All you need to complete this repair is a small flat blade screw driver. Simply pop out the cap with a smaller flat-blade screwdriver and snap the new one into place. If the rear cap needs to be replaced you will need to remove both front caps and slide the rack completely off for full access. It is important to note that this part is sold individually, and more than one may be required, depending on your repair. An inexpensive part, it can be a good idea to purchase several at a time to have on-hand when needed.

Very, very easy. Took about 5 minutes. The end cap was on and working. And the repair company would charge $65 just to come out and look at it. It costs $9.00 to fix it. I am moving on to the refrigerator next. Very satisfied. Shipping is well worth the money. Ray D, Ansonia, CT

Old cap was already off and had string on it. Cut the string. Placed end cap over. Used needle nose pliers to open metal rail a little and put in new cap. Locked right in. That was easy. Thanks again.

Dishwasher rack was rusting and partially broken

The repair only required me to lift out the old unit and set the new rack into the dishwasher. I was pleased that there was nothing to put together. The rollers were already attached.
It took longer to open the shipping box than to do the installation.

This coupler, also known as a hose connector, is made of white plastic and is about one inch in height, and just over one inch in length. Replacing the coupler is a fairly easy repair. The hardest part of the repair is accessing the spray arm and filter to remove them, in order to replace the coupler. In order to complete this repair, you will need a flat head screwdriver and a 4-inch nut driver.

Rubber connector was leaking (slit in rubber)

First I removed the dishwasher from underneath the countertop and laid it on its back. I used a nut driver to remove the pump support wire and the two clamps holding the rubber connectors to the pump. It helped to hook the pump support wire in a hole in the left side of the frame and reconnect it to the pump to hold it up out of the way. I was able to remove the rubber connector by hand and unscrew it. To install the new rubber connector tightly, I slipped a piece of 2" PVC pipe (outside diameter is 2-3/8") inside the connector and tightened the clamp around the connector and PVC pipe. This allowed me to use the pipe to tighten the rubber connector. I reassembled the dishwasher pump and connections and put the dishwasher back into service

This baffle fits the lower right hand corner of some dishwashers. It is black rubber and has a matching left hand lower corner baffle. It is recommended that you replace and install both left and right at the same time. It will become evident that this part needs to be replaced if you are experiencing leaking or lack of draining. This is a very easy repair that requires no tools. Open the dishwasher door and simply use your hands to remove the baffle found in the lower right hand side of the dishwasher. Clean out any dirt and insert your new one into place.

The dishwasher leaked all over the floor.

I am a helpless old lady living alone. My dishwasher leaked......not bad at first. I put a towel in front of it. It got worse. I was adding towels each time I ran it. I asked my son to look at it. He said to find out where it was leaking from. I noticed it was coming from the right side. I looked and saw this thing (the real name was corner baffle) that looked kinda used up. I told my son what it was and he said go online and order it. I did. It came I took the old one out. It just lifted out. I cleaned all the debris out from where it sat with a toothbrush and put The new one in. Easy peasy. Don't need a grown son. I can take care of myself.
