673000300067 Genuine Upper Spray Arm for Ariston, Euro, Arc Dishwashers ADF6SE2 ADI6IE1 IDF6SE2 IDF6SE3 TDX7SS TDX8SS VDW60S 12176000009189

Used in Ariston, Euro and Arc dishwashers, 673000300067 is the genuine upper spray arm, also numbered 12176000009189. It's listed for 22 models. Among them are the ADF6SE2 and ADI6IE1, the IDF6SE3 and IDI6IE4, the TDX7SS and TDX8SS, and the BDW60S and VDW60S. If the top rack is coming out dirty while the bottom is clean, this arm is a likely suspect.

Dishes on the top rack still dirty?

Mounted under the upper basket, this arm spins on water pressure and sprays the top rack from below through a row of small jets. If a jet clogs with food or scale, or the arm cracks, warps or wears at its hub, it may stop spinning or spray weakly. The tell-tale signs are glasses and cups coming out cloudy or with food still stuck on, while the bottom rack is clean. Check the arm spins freely by hand and rinse the jets first. If the plastic is cracked or the hub is worn, it's time for a new arm.

Replacing the upper spray arm

Turn the dishwasher off at the wall and slide the upper basket out. Depending on the model, the arm unscrews from its hub or unclips from the water feed tube under the basket. Compare the new arm's mounting with the old one, fit it the same way and spin it by hand to make sure it turns freely without hitting anything in the basket.

Questions about this part

How do I know if the spray arm is blocked or broken?

Take it off and hold it up to the light. Blocked jets can often be cleared with a toothpick and a rinse under the tap. If the arm is cracked, warped or wobbles on its mount, cleaning won't fix it and it should be replaced.
