Customer Questions and Answers for Water Pump (Recirculation) by Whirlpool

This water recirculation pump moves wash water through the washer's recirculation circuit to help saturate loads and improve cleaning. Replacing a failed pump restores proper water movement and wash performance.

• Circulates water from the tub/sump back through the recirculation line during wash
• Maintains flow through the dispenser or spray nozzle for better saturation
• Replaces a pump that is noisy, leaking, seized, or not moving water
• Symptoms include no recirculation spray, reduced cleaning results, or a humming motor without water movement

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access is typically from the lower front or rear service panel; place towels to catch residual water
• Transfer hoses, clamps, and the electrical connector from the old pump to the new one
• Ensure correct hose routing and secure connections; check for leaks during a quick test cycle
