WP9742946 - Whirlpool Dishwasher Lower Spray Arm Bearing

This Whirlpool Dishwasher Lower Spray Arm Bearing (WP9742946) is a genuine part designed specifically for Whirlpool dishwashers. It plays a crucial role by ensuring the smooth rotation of the spray arm, a key component responsible for evenly distributing water during the wash cycle. Also known as the wash arm bearing ring, this part is situated between the lower wash arm and the wash arm retainer nut. If your dishwasher's spray arm seems stiff or is not rotating as freely as it should, chances are the Lower Spray Arm Bearing needs replacement. Not only does a malfunctioning bearing affect the water distribution, but it can also lead to poorly cleaned dishes, indicating it's time for a new bearing. Before making a purchase, please check your dishwasher's model number to ensure compatibility with the WP9742946 bearing.
