This Part Fixes These Problems

Dishes Not Getting Clean

Upper rack dishes come out dirty or with food residue because the broken mount disrupts water flow through the spray arm, leaving the top rack under-washed.

Spray Arm Loose or Falling Off

The upper spray arm becomes loose, wobbles, or detaches during operation when the mount is cracked or broken, preventing proper rotation and water distribution.

Water Leaking from Upper Rack Area

A damaged or cracked mount fails to seal the connection between the spray arm and the water supply tube, causing noticeable water leakage during the wash cycle.

Unusual Noise During Wash Cycle

A rattling or knocking sound from the upper rack area during operation is a common sign that the spray arm mount has broken and the arm is hitting the rack or tub walls.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Know Your Upper Spray Arm Mount Has Failed

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Upper-rack dishes coming out dirty or with food residue while lower-rack dishes are clean

⚠️ Spray arm rattling, wobbling, or falling off inside the dishwasher during a cycle

⚠️ Visible cracks, breakage, or deformation on the plastic mount body

⚠️ Water leaking or dripping from the upper rack area during the wash cycle

🔍 Diagnostic tip: Pull the upper rack out fully and flip it upside down. Inspect the mount where the spray arm attaches — any crack, play in the fit, or visible fracture confirms replacement is needed. Also check the spray arm itself for hairline cracks that could cause the same symptoms (part W10594035 or equivalent).

Questions & Answers

Will part 8539324 fit my older dishwasher that used the original mount with a retainer clip and screw?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 18, 2024
Yes. The redesigned 8539324 / WP8539324 mount is the current OEM replacement for all older versions including 8268844 and 9742994. The new design clips directly onto the upper dishrack tines and no longer requires the separate retainer clip (AP3044177 / WP8268812) or mounting screw, which are now obsolete. If your rack has an angled underside, the new angled-shaft mount is correct. Just follow the updated installation method — snap it in rather than screwing it on.
My upper rack dishes are still dirty even after I replaced the spray arm. Could the mount be the problem?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 5, 2023
Absolutely. Even if the spray arm itself looks intact, a cracked or improperly seated mount will block or reduce water flow from the supply tube to the spray arm. The mount is the connection point between those two components. Inspect the mount body for hairline cracks, and check that it seats flush against the water supply nozzle when the rack is fully inserted. A poor seal there will rob the upper arm of water pressure regardless of the arm's condition.
Is part number 8539324 compatible with Kenmore dishwasher model 15801890?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 14, 2025
Yes, part number WP8539324 (which replaces the original 8539324) is confirmed compatible with Kenmore model 15801890. Kenmore dishwashers in this range are manufactured by Whirlpool, so this part fits directly. Always verify your model number on the door edge label before ordering to ensure you have the correct revision of the upper rack.
Does this replacement mount require any tools to install?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 30, 2024
The mount itself snaps into place with no tools — that is the key improvement in the redesigned version. However, you will need a Phillips screwdriver to remove and reinstall the spray arm screw that secures the spray arm propeller to the top of the mount. The overall repair typically takes 10–20 minutes and is considered an easy DIY job requiring only basic hand tool skills.
What other parts should I inspect while replacing the upper spray arm mount?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 3, 2026
While the upper rack is out, it is a good idea to also inspect the upper spray arm (wash arm) itself for hairline cracks or blocked nozzle holes, as these cause identical symptoms and are often damaged at the same time. Also check the water supply tube that runs up to the mount for any kinks or cracks. Replacing damaged ancillary parts in the same service visit saves time and avoids a repeat call-back for the same cleaning issue.
