The pump filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is responsible for trapping large particles, preventing them from entering the pump and potentially causing blockages or malfunctions.
A bad filter can occur due to regular use, accumulation of debris, or wear and tear over time.
Symptoms of a bad pump filter include:
- Dirty or cloudy dishes after a cycle.
- Noisy operation, such as grinding or rattling sounds.
- Water pooling at the bottom of the dishwasher.
- Foul odors in the dishwasher.
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
