The Whirlpool W11550106 Dishwasher Spray Arm is an integral part of your dishwasher's wash mechanism. It's a revolving arm that fits in your dishwasher's top or lower rack and is in charge of dispersing water and detergent solution equally throughout the machine while a wash cycle is in progress. All of your dishes, even the ones hidden away in corners, will be covered with water according to the spray arm's numerous spray holes that are angled at different angles. The spray arm helps to provide even distribution and pressure of water, which helps to clean your dishes thoroughly and effectively. If you find this happening to your dishwasher, replacing the spray arm with a new one, such as the Whirlpool W11550106, can help restore its cleaning function.
