Shannon August 31, 2019 Whirlpool mdl # WDT780SAEM1 dishwasher is not draining. no blockage. discharge pump showing 35 ohms. Is that high for this pump?
1 Answer Shannon, No, 35 ohms is not high for this drain pump. The WPW10348269 / W10348269 Pump, Drain motor winding is 15O - 60O and operates on 120V, 60 Hz, and draws 60Watts of power when operating. You didn' mention if the drain motor does or doesn't run? You may want to disconnect the wires from the drain pump(two brown wires) and check for 120 VAV across the two wires, with the dishwasher in a drain cycle, you may have a wiring issue or perhaps a failed drain pump relay on the main control board.

Lyndon October 22, 2018 for Model Number Whirlpool W10275468A Dishwasher is blowing thermal fuses. Changed fuse and started drain cycle to empty water. The dishwasher ran for about 30 seconds and blew another fuse. Since the fuse blew while draining I pulled the drain pump to diagnose. Resistance is about 24 ohms, but service tech guide says it should be 15-19 ohms. Is this a faulty pump that could be causing the fuse to blow or is the fuse blowing for a different reason? Is 24 ohms to high for this pump?
1 Answer Lyndon, You will want to make sure that when you replace the fuse that you replace the wires as well. This would most likely be caused by a loose connection that is causing the connection to overheat and cause the fuse to blow. The resistance is a little high on the pump and could be a cause but that resistance should not cause the fuse to blow. Read More...
Andre September 11, 2018 for Model Number WDP340PAFW0 Dishwasher is very slow to drain and when cycle is complete there still water in the washer. I cleaned the filter, was not dirty as I clean it regularly. I detached the hoses and no obstruction was found, blew air through the hose and pump. The impeller in the pump spins easily for the most part (with my fingers though the hose access) almost all the way around but then I find there is resistance at some point. When I pass the resistance it spins fast almost like the impeller gets "loaded" and then releases and spins . My question is: is this normal? Would a brand new pump spin freely all the way around with no resistance at any point? Is my pump bad and need to be replaced? Thanks in advance for your help.
1 Answer Andre, That would be normal for the impeller to kind of spring but it does sound likely that the pump is the issue with all other things that were checked. Read More...
Kelly February 17, 2018 for Model Number 665.13963k015 Dishwasher runs but at the end the basin is filled with cloudy water, I don’t see a blockage in the hose. When I hit the cancel/drain it used to make a load draining noise now I just hear a quiet humming noise. I emptied the hose and ran it again and water goes into the hose but doesn’t fully drain. I disconnected the hose underneath and all the water drained out. Do I replace the the drain pump? Or is there a hose blockage I’m not seeing ?
1 Answer Kelly, Look down into the pump and see if there is any type of blockage but sounds likely that the drain pump is bad and will need replaced. Read More...
Henry Nguyen February 02, 2018 for Model Number kdw64007 Dishwasher from Europe model kdw 64700. I need to test the controller board for the dishwasher unit under lab condition, that mean can not have water inside the lab. I need to turn on the pump to test. does anyone know how. Thank you, Henry Nguyen
1 Answer Henry, Unfortunately, No. We would not have any information in regards to your dishwasher. Your best bet would be to contact the manufacturer by phone or internet and see if they can supply you a copy of the tech data sheet/wiring diagram or service manual for the model/serial number of the product you have.

Dan January 11, 2018 for Model Number PTWN6250M0WT Residual water in washer causing moldy smell. Checked drain pump and the resistance is 13.7. New pump is 10 or so. I'm missing something and I'm curious. I never use ohms law but according to it and the 75 watts printed on the pump my ohms should be about 180. Couldn't find the answer.
1 Answer Dan, If the unit is draining but not draining all the way then check for an issue with the drain hoses being restricted. There will be some water that is left in the tub to keep the seals moist but will be a very small amount and it may just need to be run through a clean cycle if the only complaint is odor. Try some washer cleaner or a hot bleach wash with nothing in the unit to see if this helps. Read More...
Donavon January 01, 2018 for Model Number Whirlpool DU1055XTSD3 Drain pump calls for 16.9 ohms but when I test I’m getting 23.5. Is the pump bad? There IS resistance with impeller.
1 Answer Donavon, With the "resistance with the impeller" and the slightly higher resistance on the motor windings, you may want to consider a new drain pump. With the age and operation of the machine, we would expect a slightly higher resistance, but the motor should still run as long as there is a resistance reading. If the pump isn't "jammed" with debris and sediment, then the resistance is most likely due to the "wear and tear" on the motor bearings and shaft. Read More...
James August 23, 2017 for Model Number KUDE60FVWH2 Hi Before I replace my Kitchen-aid dishwasher drain pump, is there a way of testing the existing one with a multimeter? Where would I expect to find continuity or lack thereof? Thanks in advance!
2 Answers James, The best way to test the drain pump is to turn the unit on and make sure that there is 120 vac to the drain pump. if there is power to the drain pump then the drain pump is bad. If there is not power then this will be a faulty main control board. Read More...

2 Answers Hello James, a better way to test the motor would be to use a test cord to apply 120Vac to the motor terminals to make sure it runs but you will still need to pull the pump WPW10348269 and make sure nothing is in the impeller and that the impeller is not broken or separated from the motor shaft. Hope this helps! Read More...
