lower spray arm nut
Open the dishwasher door and remove the lower dish rack.
The spray arm nut had broken off and the spray arm was wobbly.
Removed the spray arm. The threads of the nut had broken off inside the arm. I used three 1/4 inch bolts and inserted them together inside the threaded part of nut and turned counterclockwise. The threaded section came out.
Once the new nut arrived, I replaced the spray arm in the dishwasher and screwed the new nut clockwise in the center of the arm. That's it!

Lower sprayarm broken
Note I did not have a model number just the manufacturer and name on unit. The website was still able to find the part. Impressive!
Easy installation. I recommend you also get the sprayarm seal. Be careful to insure the nut is seated securely before screwing in the nut. Highly recommend the video. Good company.

Sprayarm Nut broke in half
Ordered a new one The Spray arm nut broke in two right above the last threads. The thread part was still in the pump out and was able to remove it with putting a flat screwdriver in the center of the hole and unscrewed it did not take the pump apart because it came out easy with the screwdriver by wedging the flat screwdriver sideways in the hole and turning it counterclockwise. when the new one came I just screwed it in.

Lower sprayarm nut stripped + broken inside Pump outlet
You WILL need a star-tip screwdriver for this COMMON DU915 repair. We already had one.
The plastic "wing" nut which keeps the lower sprayarm attached to the pump assembly cracked inside where the threading on each part meets. Have been reattaching the nut to the Pump outlet for a year or so with super glue and finally found PartSelect.com. My husband had to fix this with a star screwdriver and vice grips (and he is super strong)-- otherwise an easy fix using just the manual supplied by the manufacturer. I just noticed the virtual repairman feature on partselect but we didn't need to go there.
The starhead screws that hold the pump outlet in place were on super tight. Other than that, no problem. It has been a week and the dishwasher works like new.
I ordered the parts online at 9pm at night and had the parts in my mailbox the next day - LESS than 24 hours later. How is that even possible?
Just ask anyone who knows me...I am NOT easy to please when it comes to customer service in any realm of the retail world - I have to say without any doubt PartSelect is the BEST experience I've had in my entire shopping life. It's as if customers run this company. I only wish they sold car parts, groceries, clothes and food.
I will be back to purchase again, I'm sure and I know it will go just as smoothly.
PartSelect.com...Please call me when you are ready to launch an IPO!!!!!!!

had to replace nut that held on the bottom sprayer and replace the water inlet tube
I had already removed the old parts so when the new parts arrived, I just attached the water inlet tube holder and put the nut on the top of the sprayer assembly and it was good to go!!!! I ordered the parts one day before 3:00 and they were delivered the next day!!!! Unbelievable service!!!! Thanks and I am a very satisfied customer!!!!

Dishwasher leaks at front door
My dishwasher started leaking at the door. I checked the level, door seal, fill float, etc. Nothing worked. Another reviewer of these parts said to replace the Seal, Lower Sprayarm, the Wash Arm Bearing Ring, and the wash arm. I replaced the seal and the bearing, not the washer arm, as my spray had little to no wear. This fixed the problem! If you dishwasher leaks at the door, it is possible these parts are worn and replacing them wil fix the leak. Thanks to the other reviewer I now have no leaks! Buy a spare nut because they break very easy if overtorqued!

Hi Dustin, Thank you for contacting us. You may have to use a pair of pliers and try to slowly remove the part that way. I hope that helps. Good luck with removing that part.
