compressible rubber washer at the rear of the spray arm was deteriorated and no replacement of just the washer is available to my knowledge

None

The frame of the spray arm just clamps in two places onto the bottom side of the upper rack. I used both thumbs to push it off the rack wires. To install the new one, I just pushed the arm onto the rack after carefully aligning the tabs with the wire of the rack.

The rubber boot on the end of this spray arm that attaches underneath the upper rack had deteriorated.

There are no tools necessary for this repair. The spray arm snaps on to the bottom of the upper rack.

This is the best price I found on this part. It arrived within 3 days, and was an identical replacement. The replacement snapped right in without a problem. I'm not sure why, but after 2 years of owning the dishwasher, the rubber boot/gasket on the end of the spray arm deteriorated. That boot is meant to make contact and create a seal against the back wall of the dishwasher when the upper rack is pushed back all the way. Water is then forced through the spray arm to clean the dishes/glassware in the rack.

Poor pressure in upper rack due to ruptured seal on spray arm

None

While finding this part was hard, it was exactly the right replacement on a Frigidaire Electrolux built in dishwasher of a model that really didn't exist to end purchase so documentation and parts pretty much did not exist. Turns out these parts are fairly universal across several models. The arm itself just pulls off and snaps on the upper rack. This site was also the only place that had a good enough picture of the part to ensure confident ordering, as well as the best price. Other sites tried to insist you had to buy a bunch of other parts to get this, which is clearly false since this came manufacturer packaged.
