That's the original style upper constant rinse arm. Surprised it's still there, most get damaged by putting a tall item in upper rack and then jam the rack into the machine, shearing that arm. Hobart updated the arm with a new design that's a bit more streamlined.
Something looks awry with the lower cover of that arm but it's difficult to tell in that picture. Any chance you can get a closer shot? |

It looks like the bottom half of the Constant Rinse has broken away. The assembly mounts to the upper housing with 2 screws. I'm not sure if it is exactly the same part as on earlier models. This is om my KDI-16

Here's a shot looking right up at it with the front camera. And two from an eBay auction that came up when I searched for "KitchenAid Constant Rinse". Is it supposed to look like the thing in the auction? Val |

She's a goner.
The Robert Shaw replacement is using the original 241395 Hobart part #. I am unfamiliar with these as it's an aftermarket part but I am curious if it's the same original Hobart design before they updated it.
The updated design and part# is 4162658. There's a bunch of those on ebay for as cheap as $8.79. It's up to you if you want to spend extra for the Robert Shaw unit or not. |
