Ge WD28X10103 Dishwasher 3Rd Level Spray Arm Assembly OEM Part

There is a plastic "snapping" feature (Two plastic tabs that when pressed together can fit into the holes on the spray arm. Once in there, the tabs expands and keep the spray arm in place) that comes out of the top onto which the spray arm is attached to. That plastic piece broke and the spray arm fell off. It wasn't clear how the snapping feature was attached to the top of the dishwasher at first. I was looking for a replacement for it and could not find it on any of the assembly diagram online. Then I came across a post on AppliancePartsPros that the piece comes with the 3RD Level Pray Arm Assembly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/dishwasher-repair/32875-replacing-ge-3rd-level-spray-arm.html (Note, the part picture does not show the side which has the center hole and the snapping piece that clip to the hole). I have to pull out the dishwasher from underneath the counter top and unscrew it from the outside. Once that's clear, it was very easy to order the spray arm from AppliancePartsPros and just do it. It works perfectly.

Unplug electrical socket and water supply (2 minutes) Pull dishwasher out from under the counter (15 minutes) Pull back blanket insulation (2 minutes) Change out part with 2 screws (5 minutes)

Replaced it with a new one. Removed dishwasher. Removed 2 screws from top. Replaced part. Re-installed dishwasher. If I had it to do over again, I would have purchased the 2 screws that hold it in place - AP2038571.

I had to detach the top edge of the dishwasher from the counter, then remove the toe plate and lower the legs so the dishwasher could slide out from under the cabinet. I ran a washing cycle and observed...and when the spraying part of the cycled started, water started pouring out from under the insulation on top of the machine. (In hindsight, I wish I'd removed the insulation first. And I wish I'd had more towels ready. :-) The spray arm at the top was blocked, and the hose that fed it was cracked and leaking water. The replacement parts took 3 working days to arrive. When I received them, it was easy to replace the hose and spray arm. They fit exactly. It took 15 minutes. Then I ran another cycle to check the leak was fixed (it was!) and finally pushed the dishwasher back in and extended the legs to brace it firmly. In all, it took 60 minutes to pull out the dishwasher and find the problem, 15 minutes to fix it, and 30 minutes to check the fix and reinstall the dishwasher. And it only took that long to pull out the dishwasher because the leak warped the floor boards, making it initially difficult to slide out.

Took like ten minutes ordering the part took longer but that was easy too the lady on the phone found its numbers and took the details part sjhowed up regular mail volia done .Saved my old dishwasher for another few years "Old reliable."
