Replacing the spray arm on a Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher
Our dishwasher has three rotating spray arms. The ones on the top and bottom of the unit are permanently attached to the water support. The middle one, however, is attached to the dish tray. It gets its water from a hole in the back of the dishwasher -- the seal is made by a rubber gasket on the back of the spray arm.
Our dishwasher was probably purchased in 2010 (it came with our rental). By 2015 the gasket had decayed.
Unfortunately, you can't just buy a replacement gasket. Doubly unfortunately, most parts sites want to sell you the entire upper dish tray, which runs $65 or so.
However, I can confirm that you can replace the spray arm alone. It has the number 1544679 molded into it. For my dishwasher (model FGHD2433KF1) the Electrolux replacement part 154468502 fits fine. I bought one from Amazon.
There are repair videos on YouTube -- it's trivial to replace.
(This post is basically search engine bait on the part numbers -- I spent an hour online trying to figure out which part would fit. Hopefully this will save you time.)

ReplyDeleteThank you! Different model dishwasher but same arm and problem.
ReplyDeleteIt is too expensive though! About $140! Even more than the whole tray.
