Hotpoint Dishwasher Spray Arm

The rotating arm that sprays water onto the dishes from below or above.

Signs it has failed

• Dishes coming out dirty in one area
• A cracked, broken or warped arm
• The arm does not spin freely
• Blocked spray holes

Check before you buy

• Remove the arm and clean the holes with a pin or toothpick
• Spin it by hand: it should turn freely on its mount
• Check for cracks or a worn bearing at the centre

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your dishwasher and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).

How to replace it

1. Open the dishwasher and remove the lower rack
2. Unscrew the retaining nut or twist the arm off its mount
3. Fit the new arm and secure it
4. Spin it to check it turns freely
5. Run a short cycle

Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.

Getting the right part

Arms vary by position (lower, middle or upper) and mount type. Match the part number or your model number.

These are manufacturer part numbers that a UK spares retailer lists as Hotpoint dishwasher spray arm parts (checked 2026-10-29).

The retailer lists 31 Hotpoint numbers for this part type; 10 are shown, because most fit only specific models. Search with your model number to narrow it down.

Some numbers are used across Hotpoint, Indesit, Creda and other Whirlpool-group brands. Numbers starting C00 are the Hotpoint/Indesit manufacturer reference format. If your old part has a number printed on it, match that first.
