How to Fix the Top Spray Arm on a Bosch Dishwasher

Bosch dishwashers have two spray arms that enable the appliances to thoroughly clean dishes. One spray arm is located below each dish rack. Each spray arm has several nozzles that spray the dishes from below the rack. As part of the ongoing maintenance of your dishwasher, you should remove the spray arms and clean them to prevent built-up soap and hard water deposits from clogging the spray arms. If the top spray arm on your Bosch dishwasher is clogged or broken, you must remove it and either clean or replace it.
