Frigidaire 5304517982 Dishwasher Lower Wash Arm Sprayer

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 5304517982 is an OEM replacement lower wash arm designed for residential dishwashers. Positioned at the bottom of the dishwasher tub beneath the lower dish rack, this orbital sprayer assembly distributes pressurized water and detergent across the lower rack load during each wash cycle. The arm measures 8 inches in diameter and comes in blue. Its orbital rotation pattern covers a wider sweep than a standard fixed arm, reaching corners and hard-to-clean areas that a straight-arm design can miss. At 0.40 pounds, the part is a direct drop-in replacement that installs without tools. Appliance technicians and experienced DIYers handle this repair regularly.

This lower wash arm is suited for residential dishwasher service. It mounts beneath the lower dish rack on the center hub of the wash arm assembly. The part is applicable to various Frigidaire-platform dishwasher models. When a dishwasher fails to clean the lower rack effectively, leaves food residue, or shows visible damage to the existing spray arm, this assembly is a standard first replacement. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the available product data beyond the OEM part number itself.

Installation Notes

This part is typically serviced by appliance repair technicians or qualified DIYers. Before starting, disconnect power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker or by unplugging the unit, and shut off the water supply. Remove the lower dish rack to access the existing wash arm, twist the arm counterclockwise to release it from the center hub, then align and snap the replacement into place. Confirm the arm rotates freely before restoring power and running a test cycle.
