Customer Questions and Answers for Impeller Assembly (Wash Pump) by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18040809
Manufacturer Part Number: WP902461

This impeller assembly replaces a worn or damaged wash-pump impeller to help restore water circulation and spray pressure for better cleaning. Commonly used in compatible Whirlpool wash pumps to address weak wash performance. What it does:

  • Spins inside the wash pump to move water through spray arms; damaged fins reduce spray force and cleaning.
  • Restores proper flow during wash cycles — symptoms of failure include weak or uneven cleaning.
  • Reduces abnormal pump noise and motor strain when the impeller is intact; cracked or missing fins can cause humming or grinding.
  • Works with the pump housing and seals to route water; a failed impeller can allow internal leakage or cavitation.
What's included: One impeller assembly. Install notes:
  • Always disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before servicing the appliance.
  • Inspect pump seals, gaskets, and surrounding components; replace any damaged parts to prevent leaks.

Answer

Bruce, Try this first, Disconnect the dishwasher drain hose from the plumbing under the sink, start the dishwasher and let it fill and wash for a minute. Place the end of the drain hose in a large bucket or pail and drain the dishwasher. Any debris accumulated in the pump or drain hose should be flushed from the system, you may want to do this process a couple of times. Check and make sure there's no debris at the connection point. Reattach the hose and run the dishwasher again and check for proper drainage.
