To reattach a spray arm on a dishwasher, first, remove the bottom rack to allow for easy access. Position the spray arm over its mounting hub—usually located at the center of the dishwasher floor. Align the notches on the spray arm with the hub and press it down firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure it's secure by giving it a gentle turn; it should rotate freely. Reattach the bottom rack, and you're done!
