WP8268340 Whirlpool Bearing
This Dishwasher Spray Arm Bearing sits underneath the lower spray arm, and helps the spray arm spin around smoothly. If your bearing is damaged or missing, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. In order to change out the part, you'll remove both the upper and lower racks from the dishwasher and unscrew the lower spray arm (Screw clockwise to release it.) You'll then remove the water supply tube and gain access to the old bearing. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the dishwasher and novice repair experience. Remember to unplug the dishwasher or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner (item W10282479) to help remove limescale and mineral build-up that can be unsightly and affect your dishwasher’s performance. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
