The Pump-Drain is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwasher modules. It serves as the water pump that actively removes dirty water from the wash chamber, directing it to the garbage disposal or home drainage system.
Causes for a faulty Pump-Drain can stem from mineral buildup clogging impeller fins over time. Wear and tear on seals or electrical failure of motor components are also possible from prolonged usage.
Symptoms of a bad Pump-Drain include:
- Incomplete draining or water remaining after cycles
- Strange gurgling or grinding noises during drain phase
- Leaks detected around the drain hose connection
- Soap scum or film left inside from inadequate rinsing
This OEM replacement part works with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and select Kenmore dishwasher models as well.

Replaced this simple part. Its almost like whirlpool knows this motor will fail so they made it easy to replace. 2 screws and it just twists off. This one everyone can fix. Savings $250 if i called repair. $550 if I had to replace!
