The problem likely lies with a faulty pump and motor assembly (W11085683). This key component is responsible for controlling the water flow during the dishwasher's wash and drain cycles. When the pump or motor fails, you'll notice the dishwasher won't drain properly or make loud noises during operation.<\/span>\n\nWe recommend consulting your manufacturer's documentation or<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/repair-help\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> contact us<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with any questions.<\/span><\/em>\r\n\r\n[lwptoc numeration=\"none\"]\r\n<p style=\"font-size:14.5px;margin:14px 0;font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,sans-serif\"><a href=\"#app-safety-notes\">Full safety notes below<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parts and tools needed<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before getting started, make sure you have all the necessary tools and new parts ready:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Whirlpool dishwasher pump and motor assembly (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/whirlpool-sump-motor-assy-w11665769-ap7212556.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">part #W11085683<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Philips head screwdriver<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flathead screwdriver<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5\/8 inch wrench<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5\/16 inch nut driver<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pliers<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bucket or towels for catching water<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gloves for protection<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety precautions\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety should always be a priority when working on any appliance. Here are a few practical tips to help you stay safe:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn off the power to the appliance by unplugging it or switching off the circuit breaker before starting any maintenance or repairs. This protects you from the risk of electric shock.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear insulated gloves to shield your hands from sharp edges, pinching hazards, or debris.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work at a steady pace and take your time to avoid accidents or injuries.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure your workspace is well-lit so you can clearly see and access the parts you\u2019re working on.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep the area clear of clutter, and ensure children and pets stay out of the workspace.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never handle internal parts with wet hands. Check that both your hands and the work area are completely dry.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refer to your appliance\u2019s user manual for any specific instructions or safety guidelines related to the part or repair.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Handle parts gently to avoid damage to the appliance or potential injuries from applying too much force.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use safety glasses when dealing with chemicals, dust, or large debris to protect your eyes from harm.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the appliance was recently used, give it enough time to cool down before working on any heated components.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take photos or notes of wiring connections and terminals before disconnecting anything to make reassembly easier.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid touching exposed wires or terminals. If you must handle wires, use non-conductive tools or wear insulated gloves to minimize the risk of electrical shock.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Removing the old pump and motor<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the dishwasher on its back, locate the drain pump attached to the motor assembly in the center. Have some towels ready to catch any residual water still inside.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use pliers to detach the drain hose from the pump by compressing the clamp. Remove the wiring harness by pressing the tab with a flathead screwdriver. Twist the pump counterclockwise to detach it from the sump.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disconnect the wiring harnesses from the diverter motor and circulation pump in the same manner. Remove the turbidity sensor by twisting and pulling it out.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lift the wire harness out of its holder. Press the tabs securing the sump with a flathead screwdriver. Lift the old pump and motor assembly out of the dishwasher tub.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Installing the new pump and motor<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before installing the new part, clean out the sealing surface where the pump sits inside the tub. Get the seal on the new assembly wet with some water so it can slide in smoothly.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Align the positioning pin on the new motor at the 6 o\u2019clock position. Set the water supply tube in place and press down firmly to sit inside the cutout.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the pump fully seated, swing the locking tabs back over to secure the sump tightly. Reattach all the wiring harnesses and sensors by firmly pressing into their connections.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replace the drain pump, making sure the locking tab faces the back. Reconnect the drain hose to the sump with pliers clamping it down.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finishing the repair<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With all the new pump and motor components securely fastened, stand the dishwasher back up on its feet. Push it partially back into place under the counter.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feed the drain hose and water line back through the cabinets and reconnect them. Make sure there are no kinks or obstructions.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anchor the dishwasher back underneath the counter with the Philips screws. Turn the hot water supply back on and remove any towels.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Run a test cycle to verify the new pump is draining properly. If any leaks occur, double-check the connections. And that's it - you've successfully replaced your Whirlpool dishwasher pump and motor!<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More information<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need any replacement parts for your appliances, you can enter your<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-find-your-appliances-model-number\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> model number<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> AppliancePartsPros.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to locate and order them quickly.
