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.

Answer

Hi John. Check your drain hose and make sure it was installed correctly. It should enter in the side of the cabinet at the top rear corner and then have a loop clamped to the uppermost part of the inside of the cabinet. Then it should be taught into the plumbing connection under the sink. You need to make sure the hose and/or the plumbing connections are not clogged or restricted. Your drain hose may be the reason you are back filling into your sump and re clogging over and over. Is there anyone else in the home doing washes different then yourselves? I hope this helps. The chopper assembly is part # W10083957V. Thank you.
