Exactly what we needed!!
Easily diagnosed the problem and pulled off the part. PartSelect wasn't the cheapest option but I trust the company and have had great experiences in the past. Could have gotten a non-OEM part without amazing reviews for cheaper but not a risk we were willing to take. Shipping was about a week and we were provided tracking info. No surprises.

Dish washer would not drain properly
Shut off breaker. Took off front skirt of dishwasher . Used pliers to loosen the pressure clamp on drain pump , have towel handy as there will be some water. Turn pump to left as you push in on the clip on side of drain pump. It will come out. Remove wire plug from old pump and plug into new pump than insert new pump and turn and push in till it clicks. Use pliers to pinch hose clamp and push hose onto pump release hose clamp. Turn breaker on. Run a cycle and make sure all is tight before putting skirt on front.

dishwasher didn't drain.
Replaced the pump.That wasn't the problem --- if I had it to start over, I'd pull the drain hoses and run the dishwasher to see what water is flowing where. I had a clogged drain --- and maybe something else. Still working through the details.

When dishwasher should go to drain cycle, it hums and then powers off. Hose and filter are clear.
For model number KDTE104ESS
Hi Nancy,
Thank you for your question. If the dishwasher is not draining and you are hearing humming sound and then it shuts off, the issue could could be the motor or there is debris in the impellers, you will need to inspect the motor to verify the cause. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

It will not drain, it would not push any water through the hoses but if you take the hose a loose play me a water comes out. I flush the hoses with them little packs that you clean it with.
For model number ADB1300AFW1
Hi Chad, Thank you for the question. I suggest checking the drain pump for a clog or blockage. Also check the hose for holes or damage they may cause air gaps. If there are no clogs or damage the pump may need to be replaced. Hope this helps!

Our dishwasher is draining but the water does not circulate with the other pump. Is this the part we need to replace or is it something else?
For model number WDP370PAHW1
Hello Debra, thank you for contacting us. According to our research, the issue is probably related to a faulty pump and motor assembly, part number PS11770231, and not the drain pump. It circulates water through the spray arms during the dishwashing cycle. Customer service is available 7 days a week if you require assistance placing an order. Thanks again for reaching out!
Hello Wayne, thank you writing. Our recommendation is to check the Diverter Valve PS5136127. Diverter motor controls the flow of water to the spray arms. We have a video of how to replace it on our site. We look forward to hearing from you.
I moved my existing dishwasher to a new location in my kitchen and it required a much longer drain hose. After installing the dishwasher the drain pump immediately started leaking. Does the length of the hose create too much pressure on the pump?
For model number ADB1400AGS1
Hello Merle, thank you for getting in touch. According to our research, the ideal length for a dishwasher drain hose is about 3 to 4 feet. If the drain hose is too long, it can cause problems with draining and may cause leaking. We would recommend replacing the drain pump, part number PS11738151. We hope this solves your problem!

FLASHING DRAIN LIGHT. WATER IN BOTTON OF DISH WASHER
For model number WDT730PAh2
Hi Nancy, thank you for reaching out. The flashing drain light means that the washer is unable to drain water. To solve this issue, you may need to make sure first that the drain hose is not blocked. If that is not causing the issue, then you may need to check the drain pump, part number PS11738151. If it is faulty, you may need to replace it. We hope this information is useful!

Original problem: water not draining. Checked for clogs in and out. None. Bought the new pump and installed it. It “hums” when turned on, but the water still doesn’t pump out. I’m stumped.
For model number KDFE104HBS0
Hi Tim, thank you for the question. Since you have already checked the drain hose for blockage, ensure that it is installed correctly. New parts can sometimes have stiff rubber seals, or a tiny piece of debris may have fallen into the housing during the installation. Disconnect the power. Reach into the sump basin or pull the pump back out and try to spin the plastic fan blade by hand. If it resists, it is jammed. Spin it manually a few times to break it loose. If the issue persists, then check the incoming voltages to the drain pump using the multimeter. If it reads less than 110V–120V AC, the control board is faulty and it may need to be replaced. Its part number is PS12704676. We hope this solves your problem!
Half of my wash cycles fail to drain and a lot of standing water remains. When I attempt to drain afterwards the machine hums. After a few attempts and about a minute, it makes a grating/grinding noise and then starts to drain. I’ve checked the filter and drain hose numerous times and both appear clean and clear.
For model number WDP350PAAW6
Hi Peter, thank you for getting in touch. Based on our research, the most likely cause of this issue is a faulty drain pump, part number PS11738151, which may need to be replaced. We hope this sorts out your problem!
