Hotpoint Aquarius DWF50- Spray arms

[bethwaller]

Hi

This is my 1st post on here!

the spray arms on the above model, seem to clog very easily, i was wondering if anyone on here can tell me how i un-attach the arms so i can clean them??

there is nothing in my manual, it just says to clean them when they get clogged but i have no idea how to take them out!

Many thanks

Beth

I have this model, they are a pain in the butt for blocking. To remove them turn the big plastic nut about 1/2 a turn. I use a big needle to get the bits out, then rince with water. I think they are a bad design, as you cannot remove any particles that are in them.
I have plants to modify mine.

Do the botton one first, its easier to see what you are doing.
Remove the basket first.

Thanks for your advice, i have just finished the job!

It seems that some of holes where the water come out on the arms, didn't even have holes!

The one's that did were so dirty!

thanks again, in the end it was a lot easier to do than my previous dishwasher!
