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.

Hi Dan. Yes, especially with the suction plate underneath is N.L.A. . After removing the impeller screw part # is WP910654, and seal part # WP910934, maybe you can use some "freeze-off" spray part # 5303937087, and squirt some down inside the hole. Let it set overnight. Gently use a rubber mallet and tap on it breaking it loose so the lubricant will seep into the shaft surroundings. Prying up with a piece of wood on top of the support and between the impeller assy. part # is WP902461. Thank you.
