Question about GE 24 in. Profile PDW7800 Built-in Dishwasher
This must be an easy fix, but I can't find a thing about it in my manual or online. The upper spray arm has spontaneously dropped off its mount, and I can't find any screws, etc. in the bottom of the washer, so I'm wondering how to get it back on? Do I have to replace the whole part?
I am a recently retired appliance engineer of 20 years normally these arms just clip on, if it is worn or broke then the answer is yes replace the arm, there are no screws as the part has to spin very freely, look for wear or any small bits of plastic in the filter hope i have helped you as to what to look for, if so rate me please

Hi,
I
have an older dishwasher also and recently my wife also complained
about it not cleaning right... so me being the man I am tried in vain
to clean the things... Bought new spray arms online and installed
them in minutes...now the thing works like new... However I have also
found that if the heating element goes bad then that also can mess
things up bad... So I would buy new spray arms, and also check out
the heating element to make sure it is working... Here is a tip that
will help you with the online buying...

I have the same problem, the upper spray arm as fallen off. There seems to be nothing to attach it to on the roof of the inside of the washer? There is not broken part in the bottom of the tub either. And the parts listings for this washer don't show any part or any illustrations to show how the arm re-attaches?
