The Circulation Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is responsible for pumping water through the spray arms to ensure thorough cleaning of dishes during the wash cycle. This motor helps maintain consistent water pressure and flow, crucial for effective dishwashing performance.

Over time, the circulation motor can fail due to factors such as motor wear, electrical issues, or blockages that cause the motor to overheat or become damaged. Regular use and the buildup of debris or hard water deposits can also contribute to motor failure.

Symptoms of a bad circulation motor include:

  • Poor cleaning results
  • Unusual noises during the wash cycle
  • Water not circulating properly
  • Dishwasher not completing cycles

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Hello Joe. To remove the impeller, you will: Place the end of a flat-bladed screwdriver into the back of the wash motor to hold the armature of the motor from turing while unscrewing the impeller clockwise. Take care not to scratch or nick the motor windings. Hope this helps.

Hello GT. Try putting an air break in the drain hose and make a loop higher than the tub of the unit. This will prevent the unit from siphoning out after a drain cycle. Hope this helps.

Gt. for Model Number kudl03fvss3

I have replaced the main control board. dw main pump grinding ,sound seems to get stuck in cycle grinding,grinding,grinding untill you stop it. I checked the food chopper it was clear. I checked float switch seems fine. Checked drain hose it is clear. I also checked the drain pump it seems ok. Is there somthing else that would cause cycle to stick. Would pump motor do this. I think the motor is probaly bad because its grinding. Any suggestions ? Thanks

Richard, Does the dishwasher run in the "wash" cycle ? If it does, I would not expect the circulation motor to be the issue. Try disconnecting the wires from the drain pump motor( blue/black and gray) . I'd Expect a bad drain motor winding before a bad triac on the control board. Thanks and Good Luck

Hi Cj. Good try. The circulation motor part # WPW10757217, needs changed. The impeller has possibly stripped out from the shaft and you are not getting any positive pressure. Thank You.
