Customer Questions and Answers for Pump Filter by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18049956
Manufacturer Part Number: WPW10192799

The Pump Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This part is strategically designed to trap and filter out food particles, debris, and other substances that could clog the dishwasher's pump and drainage system.

A bad Pump Filter can result from debris buildup, wear and tear, and structural damage. This can hinder water flow, reduce cleaning efficiency, and compromise particle trapping ability.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Pump Filter include:

  • Poor cleaning results, as clogged filters can impede water flow and reduce the dishwasher's effectiveness.
  • Water not draining properly, potentially leading to water pooling at the bottom of the dishwasher.
  • Unusual noises from the dishwasher, which can indicate that the pump is working harder than normal to circulate water through a clogged filter.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

Answer

Carol, The WPW10192799 pump filter/pump cover doesn't have a "screen on the bottom side" other than the metal screen in the center of the housing. The " extremely fine gauge nylon" screen could be considered a fine particle filter that would filter out the finer/smaller food particles and deposits from the wash water and direct them to the drain portion of the pump assembly to be drained and removed from the dishwasher. A small "tear" in the screen wouldn't affect the overall operation of the dishwasher, and having "super glued the tear together", you should be OK for a while.
