Take off the spray arms before removing the toe panel and bottom access panel. Pull the dishwasher away from the wall before removing the drain pump. Use a towel to catch any water. Next, remove the circulation pump and the motor assembly. Transfer the small parts to the replacement part and install it into the dishwasher. Reassemble and reconnect water and power before using the appliance.Made for dishwashers manufactured by Kenmore, Whirlpool, and KitchenAid, the circulation pump is sold on an individual basis. This is an authentic OEM replacement part that is directly sourced from the manufacturer.

This diverter disc directs wash water to different spray zones during a cycle, helping ensure alternating spray patterns and thorough cleaning. A worn or damaged disc can cause poor wash performance or incorrect spray routing.

• Routes water from the sump to selected spray arms/zones
• Helps alternate spray to improve coverage and cleaning
• Worn discs may lead to weak spray, poor cleaning, or unusual cycle behavior
• Can contribute to water leaking at the diverter area if the seal interface is compromised

• Disconnect power and water before servicing
• Access is typically from the bottom; remove the toe kick and lower panel as needed
• Note the disc orientation in relation to the diverter mechanism during removal
• Inspect related components (diverter motor/shaft, seals, sump) and replace if worn

This replacement impeller fits inside the pump to move water through the appliance's system. A worn or broken impeller can lead to weak circulation, poor cleaning results, or a motor that hums without moving water. What it does:

• Mounts on the pump shaft to push water and create flow/pressure
• Helps deliver spray action and/or discharge flow for proper cycle operation
• Typical symptoms include poor wash performance, little/no water movement, or unusual grinding/rattling from the pump area

• 1 impeller

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Access the pump assembly; remove lower panels or the sump as needed
• Clear debris, then install the impeller in the correct orientation, keeping any spacers in order
• Reassemble, restore power/water, and check for leaks and proper operation
