The Volute with Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This part directs water flow within the dishwasher's pump, ensuring efficient circulation and pressure during the wash cycle. The seal helps to prevent leaks by maintaining a tight closure between the volute and other pump components.
Common causes of a bad volute with seal include wear and tear from regular use, damage from debris or hard water deposits, and seal degradation due to age or chemical exposure.
Symptoms of a bad Volute with Seal include:
- Water leaking from the pump area
- Decreased washing performance
- Unusual noises from the pump during operation
- Visible cracks or damage to the volute or seal
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
