Customer Questions and Answers for Dishwasher Food Chopper by Whirlpool

By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM17951346
Manufacturer Part Number: W10083957V

The Dishwasher Food Chopper is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It's designed to break down food particles that are washed off dishes during the cleaning cycle. This prevents large debris from clogging the dishwasher's drain and ensures that water remains clean throughout the cycle, enhancing the machine's cleaning efficiency. 

A malfunctioning or worn-out food chopper can lead to several problems, such as poor cleaning results due to food particles being redeposited on dishes, or even clogs that can strain the dishwasher's pump and filters. 

Symptoms of a bad Dishwasher Food Chopper include:

  • Dishes coming out with food particles still on them
  • The dishwasher making unusual noises indicating a struggle or blockage
  • Water not draining properly, suggesting a possible clog

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

Answer

Dora, Yes, there are several things to check and verify when you replace the chopper screen and blade. When you removed the original screen, you need to check the tabs in the cenetr of the impeller 8193951A (black area) make sure the tabs are not damaged or worn. The tabs on the back side of the chopper blade/screen have to engage the tabs on the impeller, in order to drive the blade and cut up the soft food particles. You also need to check and make sure there is nothing inside the impeller housing, that will create a noise as well. The screen and chopper blade do have to be installed properly and then the protector WP8531857 needs to be installed after you're sure the screen and blade are installed and engaged the tabs of the impeller.
