Customer Questions and Answers for Drain & Wash Impeller Kit by Whirlpool

Hello John, Replacing the impeller kit is a big project. I am attaching a link to the picture of the motor assembly for the unit. You will need to disassemble the motor assembly from top down to impeller. Once you do that then you work your way back up. I would suggest laying the parts out in the order that you took them out. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/pump-motor-parts-for-whirlpool-kudb23hb0.html

Earl, The part you're describing is the drain impeller. It is a "tight" fit on the motor shaft, it has to be. you may need to check and clean any corrosion off the shaft, and check the opening for any "slag" or debris on the impeller. You may also want to apply a very thin coat of lightweight oil to the shaft, before you install the impeller, to keep the shaft from corroding.

Hello David. Yes, 675806 is the correct kit needed for the leak.

Hello Dean, I use a small screwdriver placed into the side of the impeller and then loosen the screw. This will sometimes break the impeller because the screw tightens in the direction the motor spins, so every time the motor runs, it effectively tightens the screw that much more. If you have the impeller kit, you have a new impeller to replace the one you will probably break. This is by no means your fault, but the design of the unit. You can use a small strap wrench around the outer diameter of the impeller if you plan to reuse it.

Hello Cindy. Check and see if the impeller 675806 is good in the unit. If not, you will need to replace the impeller kit. This moves the water in the dishwasher.

Richard, You're on track, if the leak is from around the motor shaft and dropping onto the "slinger" then replacing the seal impeller kit [lAP3115180] should solve the issue. As for the "check" balls in the pump, Yes, you'll need to replace the one you lost WP302709 They do serve a purpose, They maintain pressure in the pump during the wash cycle and act as an anti syphon device in the drain mode, so they're needed for proper operation. We'll be sending you some additional information. Good Luck and Thanks.

Hi Scott. Look at the botom of the sump area where the top of the motor shaft enters it. Look with a flashlight and see if there is dirty dishwasher soap leaking at this point. If so there is the impellor and seal kit needing replaced part # 675806. If you do not want to do all of that then you can replace the whole motor/sump assy.part # W10428023. Thank You.

Desirae, First check and make sure there is plenty of water in the bottom of the tub. After you start the dishwasher, let it wash for 3 to 5 minutes, then unlatch the door, remove the lower rack. the water level in the bottom of the tub, should be touching the bottom of the heater element, if the machine is filling proper. The less water in the tub, the less pressure you have in the system and the arms wont turn. If the water level is OK, then you're on the right track, check and replace the impeller kit. Thanks and Good Luck

Hello Brandon. Check and make sure the fine filter is good and clean on the unit. Also, make sure the water level is filling up properly on the unit. If it is not close to the bottom of the heater, you will need to replace the water valve W10844024 on the unit. Hope this helps.

Hi Dawn. The impeller kit needs replaced. Part # 675806. It comes with instructions. You need to clean all wash arms with a pick tool under the sink,flushing it out with water. Under the lower arm retainer nut is a nylon ring part # WP9742946. The bearing ring on the bottom side is part # WP3376846. If these are split and allowing a sloppy wash arm, this may be why it is hitting the underside of the basket. Use dishwasher magic part # TJ104 monthly. Double check the drain hose end to see if they are clogged. Make sure you have a drain hose loop up as far under the back wall of the sink, mounted to the wall. Then drain hose taught into the sink drain, this will allow the sink water not to back fill the unit and recirculate. Thank You.
