Whirlpool Screw WPW10349488 OEM Part

Oven/Dishwasher Screw

This component is available for purchase individually. Whirlpool, a manufacturer, operates various brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, and also collaborates on products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Spray Arm Screw is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed for Whirlpool dishwashers. It has a vital function in securing the spray arm, facilitating its rotation, and ensuring optimal water distribution during wash cycles.

Designed for precise fitment, the screw slots into the designated mounting hole or socket, maintaining the stability of the spray arm while enabling unrestricted rotation. Constructed generally from durable materials like stainless steel or plastic, it withstands the dishwasher's high-temperature and moisture-laden environment.

Typical challenges involving spray arm screws include wear, stripping or cross-threading, and damage due to improper handling during installation or removal.

Indicators of a malfunctioning spray arm screw may feature:

- The spray arm loosening or detaching during operation
- Ineffective water distribution caused by restricted arm movement
- Water leakage or seepage from the spray arm mount

This OEM Whirlpool component is also suitable for use with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and select Kenmore models.
