Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Drain Pump (Part Number: OEM18060207)

Jeremy for Model Number du1055xtvs3

My dishwasher does not drain completely at the end of any cycle. I have pulled the drain pump out and it is clean. Turned pump on while I had it out, running fine. Drain lines are not clogged. I ran the dishwasher with the drain hose disconnected from my plumbing and had the hose in a bucket. At the end of the wash cycle the drain pump comes on and water slowly comes out of the hose, but the cycle turns off before the dishwasher has drained completely. If I push the drain button after the cycles shuts the dishwasher down, then the water will slowly pump into the bucket and drain the water out. What could it be besides the pump just not strong enough to get enough pressure to push the water out?

Hello Jeremy. It sounds like the drain hose has a partial clog in it. Try removing the drain hose from the pump and see if the pump works properly. If so, there is a blockage inside the drain hose. If the pump does the same thing without the drain hose hooked up, and the sump assembly is clear, you may need to replace the drain pump WPW10348269. Hope this helps.

Hi Steve. We are in the parts selling business along with helping customers repair as best as we can. Take the lower kick plate off and remove power. Remove the pump intake and use a shop vac to clean up water. Unhook the drain hose from the sink also and clean both areas. If the pump impeller is spinning loose on the shaft then you will need to replace the pump. Part # is WPW10348269. Then remove the racks and clean from the top wash arms down. Clean the filter / pump and impeller chopper blade. This will help take the stress off while washing. Make sure the 4- legs are touching the floor as the unit is level also front to bak and side to side. Thank You.

Hello Steve. Check and see if there is debris inside the sump assembly and it is causing the noise you are hearing. If not, you will need to see if the noise is coming from the motor. If so, you will need to replace the motor assembly WPW10757217. Hope this helps.
