Customer Questions and Answers for Circulation Motor by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18072123
Manufacturer Part Number: WPW10757217

The Circulation Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is responsible for pumping water through the spray arms to ensure thorough cleaning of dishes during the wash cycle. This motor helps maintain consistent water pressure and flow, crucial for effective dishwashing performance.

Over time, the circulation motor can fail due to factors such as motor wear, electrical issues, or blockages that cause the motor to overheat or become damaged. Regular use and the buildup of debris or hard water deposits can also contribute to motor failure.

Symptoms of a bad circulation motor include:

  • Poor cleaning results
  • Unusual noises during the wash cycle
  • Water not circulating properly
  • Dishwasher not completing cycles

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

Jeremy for Model Number 66513462K901

Please help?? I purchased a dishwasher off of craigslist and the first time I hooked it up it wouldn't drain. It would fill up a little and shut itself off. Come to realize that the knock out on my garbage disposal was never actually knocked out. Prier to figuring out the knock out. I. Took the entire dishwasher apart and put it back together thinking maybe a clog. This thing is truly emaculate no gunk at all. So. I put it back together and run it. It works!!! Drains and everything!! I hadn't hooked it up in the actual spot were it goes. So. I unhooked it, slid it into the spot, and hooked it back up the same way. Went to run it again and same thing as before, it fills up a little bit and shuts back off. No hoses are kinked or clogged. Both times before when it wouldn't drain. I had to pull it outside and pull the hose from the bottom of the dishwasher to drain. This last time, I pulled the hose nothing drained out and there is still water inside the dishwasher. What is going on? Do I have a bad pump or control board? I reset the control board last night by hitting the heated dry and normal wash back to back twice. Still wont drain. When i hit the cancel/drain button, I think, I hear the little float thing on the inside of the dishwasher that determines the water level, I hear it click once or twice. Please help, my landlord left getting one up to me and has already credited my rent. Any advice?

Answer

Hello Jeremy. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the drain pump WPW10348269 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit.
