The Drain Pump Motor is an OEM component for Whirlpool dishwashers. This electric motor powers the drain pump to empty wash water from the tub at the end of cycles.
Causes of a bad pump motor include wear over extended use, moisture damage degrading electronics, or electrical faults from voltage fluctuations.
Symptoms of failure include:
- The dishwasher fails to fully drain water after cycles
- Puddles remain or accumulate in the bottom of the tub
- Abnormal grinding or buzzing noises occur
This Whirlpool replacement restores the pumping ability essential for hygienic wash conditions. Installing a new motor ensures all water is efficiently evacuated between uses.
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
