If you need to reset it, it may have chewed up the small teeth that keeps it in place. You can pry up the arm off of the shaft and then check the teeth. I have taken a small piece of aluminum from a pop can and wedged it in the teeth and arm to make it fit tighter with what teeth were left. Not checking to see that the arms are not frozen stuck before turning on the wipers cause most of this type problem.
