Customer Questions and Answers for Rotor (Circulation Pump) by Whirlpool

Restore consistent wash performance with this motor rotor. It fits the dishwasher's circulation pump assembly and works with the stator to spin the impeller, circulating water through the spray system during wash and rinse cycles.

• Couples with the stator's magnetic field to drive the wash motor
• Spins the impeller to move water through spray arms
• Wear or damage can cause no wash action or weak spray/poor cleaning
• May help address humming, grinding, or intermittent motor operation

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Access the sump/motor area from the bottom/front; remove pump cover and impeller to reach the rotor
• Note orientation; handle the magnetic/ceramic surfaces carefully to avoid chipping
• Inspect the impeller, shaft seal, and bearings while open; reassemble and test for leaks and proper circulation
