Customer Questions and Answers for Dishwasher Food Chopper by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
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.

Steven for Model Number du1055xtsb

I have a whirlpool dishwasher du1055xtsb. I have to take it apart and clean the chopper assembly part every week. After I clean it it works like a dream for another week then I have to repeat the process. I have ordered new chopper assembly part and replaced it and still does the same thing. I make sure the dishes are scrapped but the chopper assembly still gets caked with food particles. I also noticed when the dishes don't come out clean the soap is hard in the dispenser. What could be wrong? Thanks for your time, Steven

Answer

Hello Steven, The detergent is in the dispenser because there is no water pressure to wash it out. You will have to make sure the chopper W10083957V is not damaged, installed correctly, and the end of the motor shaft is not damaged so it can properly drive the chopper. The chopper has to spin to clear the screen. When the screen stops up it restricts the water pressure that the pump can push through the screen and the entire wash is affected.
