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.

For Whirlpool Circulation Motor (Part Number: OEM18072123)

Answer

Bill, It is probably not the circulation motor. It's most likely a lack of water in the tub. Start the dishwasher in a regular cycle, allow the dishwasher to fill and wash for a few minutes(3 to 5 minutes), unlatch the door, remove the lower rack and check the water level and temperature in the bottom of the tub. The water level in the center of the tub should be 3/4 to 1 inch deep or approx. 1/4 inch below the bottom of the heater element. The water temperature needs to be 120 dgrs.F. on the first fill of the cycle. As in most cases, if the water level is not correct, you'll most likely need to replace the water inlet valve WPW10158389.
