WPW10348269 - Whirlpool Dishwasher Drain Pump

This Drain Pump (WPW10348269) is a genuine part designed specifically for Whirlpool dishwashers. It plays a critical role in your appliance's operation by moving water throughout the cycles. Notably, during the drain phase, it expels the dirty water as necessary, ensuring the dishwasher is ready for its next load. The pump works by spinning its impellers with an electric motor, pressurizing the flow and facilitating reliable water routing and spray pressures. Commonly referred to as a 'dishwasher drain pump,' it is also known as a 'dishwasher water ejector.'

If you notice your dishwasher exhibiting low flow, leaking, or complete pump seizure, it may indicate that a rebuild or replacement of this vital part is in order. These symptoms suggest that the impeller or the electric motor has been compromised, potentially leading to a cracked body and resulting leaks. Replacing the drain pump can prevent such issues and ensure continued efficient operation of your dishwasher. Before tackling the replacement, remember to disconnect your dishwasher from its power source.

Verify your device's model number to ensure compatibility before purchasing the Drain Pump (WPW10348269).
