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!

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!

Washes but doesnt drain
Hose, screen and impeller is
Clear
For model number WDT710PAHW1
Hello Scott, thank you for contacting us. We would recommend checking the drain pump, part number PS11738151, and the electronic control board, part number PS12704698. The control board manages the draining of the dishwasher while the pump forces the drain water out. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order. Glad to be of help!
Unit will not drain after cycle. It just hums and starts to smell like electrical burning. Pulled out the drain pump and tested it. The drain pump appears to work properly outside the unit. If I attempt to drain the unit after resting overnight it will drain with no issues. Is it possible that the drain pump is fine and there’s another part at fault? I’ve already checked all other usual suspects like drain hose and filter. Does the machine’s main motor assembly act on the drain pump at all?
For model number WDF540PADW3
Hello Ffynnan, Thank you for your inquiry. The pump and motor assembly (which includes the sump and circulation pump) is for pumping the water through the spray arms during the wash cycle. You can still test it with a multimeter but it usually doesn't act on the drain pump. The electrical burning smell could be coming from the drain pump or a wiring issue. We hope this helps.
