5304517203 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Dishwasher Lower Spray Arm
The 5304517203 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM lower spray arm for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Crosley, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Kenmore dishwashers. Positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher tub, this arm rotates as water is pumped through it, spraying water in all directions through its nozzle openings to clean dishes in the lower rack. It snaps directly into the bottom sump assembly and is essential for proper water distribution during the wash cycle.
Made of durable plastic and metal, finished in gray/blue. Over time, the arm can crack, warp, or wear from general use and repeated exposure to hot water and detergent — high heat exposure in particular is a documented cause of failure. A broken or worn spray arm typically shows up as visible damage on the arm itself, dishes in the lower rack not getting cleaned properly, reduced or uneven water coverage, or the arm having difficulty rotating or getting stuck. It directly replaces 154568001, 5304506526, 154568002, 1542508, 154250801, 154250901, 154281101, 1543358, 154414101, 154414102, 4840174, PD00047210, EAP12585623, AP6783883, AFR18880, PS12585623

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Confirm Clearance From The Heating Element Disconnect power to the dishwasher and shut off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves. Open the dishwasher and pull out the lower rack, setting it aside. Remove the old lower spray arm by releasing the locking tabs on each side and gently pulling it off the sump assembly. Snap the new 5304517203 spray arm onto the sump assembly in the same position. Before closing everything up, spin the arm gently by hand to confirm it rotates freely and does not make contact with the heating element — a real customer account described a spray arm and its support becoming loose and falling into the tub during use, so it's worth double-checking that the arm is fully and securely seated before running a cycle. Return the lower dish rack to its position and close the dishwasher door. Restore power and water, then run a test cycle to confirm the arm spins smoothly and dishes in the lower rack are getting properly cleaned. Tools needed: none.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dishes in the lower rack aren't getting clean. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a worn or damaged lower spray arm. If the arm is cracked, clogged, or not rotating freely, water can't reach dishes in the lower rack evenly, leaving them dirty even when the upper rack comes out clean.
I've read that a spray arm can come loose during operation. How do I prevent that?
This has been reported, particularly with non-genuine imitation parts under the same number. To help prevent it, make sure the new arm snaps fully and securely onto the sump assembly during installation, and spin it gently by hand to confirm it's seated correctly and rotates without wobbling before running your first cycle with it installed.
Do I need any tools to replace this spray arm?
No. This is a simple snap-in, snap-out repair — release the locking tabs on the old arm to remove it, and press the new one onto the sump assembly until it clicks into place. No tools are required.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original nozzle pattern, dimensions, and sump connection of the lower spray arm originally installed in your dishwasher.
