spray arm

Spinning jet bar

A spray arm is a rotating component in dishwashers and some washing machines that distributes water through small holes or nozzles during the cleaning cycle.

Most dishwashers have two or three spray arms positioned at different levels to reach all surfaces: The bottom spray arm was clogged with food debris.

The spinning motion creates the water pressure needed to clean dishes effectively.
