The Pump Filter is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This filter sits within the pump assembly and acts as a barrier to food particles and debris, preventing them from getting into the circulation pump. By doing this, the filter contributes to the dishwasher's cleaning performance and helps maintain the appliance's overall functionality.
Causes for a malfunctioning Pump Filter can include the buildup of food particles, mineral deposits, or other types of debris, as well as wear and tear from regular use.
Symptoms of a bad Pump Filter include:
- Inadequate cleaning of dishes
- Unusual sounds coming from the pump area
- Water failing to drain effectively
- Error messages related to water circulation or drainage issues
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
