The Pump Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This filter is a critical component that screens out food particles and other debris from entering the wash and drain pumps. It helps maximize the lifespan of the pumps and ensures efficient circulation of water during each wash cycle.
Causes of a bad pump filter can include clogging over time due to built-up food particles or mechanical damage from hard objects inadvertently entering the filter.
Symptoms of a bad pump filter include:
- Reduced or no water circulation in the dishwasher
- Loud buzzing or grinding noises coming from the pump area
- Leaks emerging from the pump
- Inability to properly fill or drain water
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
