The Pump Filter is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This part is strategically designed to trap and filter out food particles, debris, and other substances that could clog the dishwasher's pump and drainage system.
A bad Pump Filter can result from debris buildup, wear and tear, and structural damage. This can hinder water flow, reduce cleaning efficiency, and compromise particle trapping ability.
Symptoms of a malfunctioning Pump Filter include:
- Poor cleaning results, as clogged filters can impede water flow and reduce the dishwasher's effectiveness.
- Water not draining properly, potentially leading to water pooling at the bottom of the dishwasher.
- Unusual noises from the dishwasher, which can indicate that the pump is working harder than normal to circulate water through a clogged filter.
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
