General Electric Lower Spray Arm Bearing WD01X10107 OEM Part

Dishwasher Plastic Wash Arm Bearing, Gray

This bearing, with a diameter of 0.5 inches, is available as a single unit. It is designed for dishwashers experiencing inadequate cleaning performance or excessive noise issues.

Manufactured as a genuine OEM replacement part, it is directly sourced from the producer and fits brands such as GE, Hotpoint, General Electric, and Sears-Kenmore. This component is crucial as it supports the lower spray arm during the wash cycle, minimizing friction to facilitate smooth rotation. Should dishes not be cleaned effectively or the spray arm becomes noisy, replacement of this bearing may be necessary. Due to regular use, this small metal piece can degrade. A worn bearing could lead to misalignment, causing the arm to make noise or not spin properly.

For installation, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breaker or unplugging the dishwasher. Open the appliance, take out the lower rack, and unscrew the lower spray arm by turning it counterclockwise. Use a telescoping magnet to pull out the old bearing from the central hole. Place the new bearing, secure the spray arm, and return the rack to its position. Reconnect the power supply.

The gray lower spray arm bearing is specifically engineered for General Electric and Hotpoint dishwashers, effectively addressing noise issues.
