H0120808209 Genuine Middle Spray Arm for Haier, Fisher & Paykel Dishwashers, Mid Level Wash Arm, Haier Number 0120808209

A cracked or blocked middle spray arm leaves the upper basket short of water. H0120808209 is the genuine Haier middle spray arm for Haier and Fisher & Paykel dishwashers. It mounts beneath the upper basket and spins to wash the top rack from below. Spray arms vary in length and jet pattern between models, so match H0120808209 to the number on your old arm or your parts list.

Dishes on the top rack still dirty? Check the middle spray arm

The middle arm sits between the two baskets and is driven round by the water forced out of its jets. If the jets clog with food, seeds or scale, the arm slows down or stops, and the cups and bowls above it are left with residue. Cracks along the arm let water escape at the wrong angle, which also cuts its speed. A warped arm can catch on tall items in the lower basket and stop dead. Take the arm off and hold it up to the light. If the jets are blocked or the plastic is split, a new arm is the fix.

Swapping the middle spray arm

With the dishwasher off at the wall, slide out the upper basket. The middle arm usually unscrews or unclips from a hub under the basket. Fit the new arm the same way, then spin it by hand to check it clears the basket and any tall items in the lower rack. Rinse the filters while you are there.

Questions about this part

Can I clean my old spray arm instead?

Often, yes. Soak it in warm water with a little vinegar and clear the jets with a toothpick. If the arm is cracked, warped or still will not spin freely after cleaning, replace it.
