Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Drain Pump (Part Number: OEM18060207)

1 Answer

Jeff, You will want to check to make sure that there is nothing caught in the drain pump and check to make sure that the drain motor impeller is not damaged. These would be the the most common things to happen. Also check the drain hose for clogging and check to make sure that there is power to the drain pump when the unit is calling for drain. If there is power to the pump motor then the pump would be the issue. If there is no power then the control board would be the issue.

Jared for Model Number Mdb7749sbb3ce.

Hello, this dishwasher is 18 months old. It doesn't drain after a cycle. I cannot hear the drain pump turn on. The drain lines and sump filter are clean and clear. I pulled the drain motor and it ohms out a 1/400th (.04) resistance. Is this within the correct range for resistance? If I push the drain button, I can hear it click around circuit board. It sounds like a small relay trying to send power to the motor, but to no avail. In diagnostic mode I get 8-2, "which is drain motor circuit," right?

1 Answer

Jared, You will want to hit the drain button and check to see if there is 120 vac getting to the motor. If there is no power then the control board would be the issue and if there is power then the motor is faulty and would need replaced. As for the resistance of the drain motor, it should have a resistance of 15 to 25 ohms.

Kris K for Model Number whirlpool

I just had the pump, model W10348269 replaced on my whirlpool dishwasher. The dishwasher works, but now my disposal will only turn on if the disposal switch is in the on position, and the dishwasher door gets opened or closed. In other words, it is the act of opening the dishwasher door that turns on the disposal now. What could possibly be causing this? The disposal and dishwasher share the same outlet. Disposal worked fine until the pump was replaced. The service company said they would show up to fix it but so far they have not.

1 Answer

Hello Kris. You need to check the wiring under the dishwasher and going to the disposal. This is an electrical issue.

Don, The WPW10348269 drain pump usually wouldn't need to be "primed" it's the lowest area of the sump, and would normally fill up with water first(if the dishwasher is installed properly). Some dishwasher have a "check valve" inside the drain hose, where the hose attaches to the drain pump, this is a "safety device that should keep dirty drain water from backing up into the dishwasher. Occasionally the check valve can get "stuck" or blocked by debris, and the dishwasher wont drain. You do want to check and make sure the drain hose itself isn't twisted or kinked and routed as short and straight as possible. Thanks

Hello Kishorchandra. You will need to remove the blockage in the drain hose. It is clogged on the unit.

Brian, The connector is not available as a separate part and would need to have the main harness. The part number for the harness is WPW10612062.

Hello Rajeev, You will most likely have to open the pump from inside the tub and replace the chopper assembly W10083957V. This is a common issue and you should use a wet vacuum to clear the area since a small shard of glass can destroy the new part.
