This drain pump is designed to remove wastewater from the dishwasher during the drainage cycle, ensuring proper operation and cleanliness. Located at the bottom of the unit, it connects to the drain hose and directs water into the household plumbing or garbage disposal. If the pump becomes clogged or malfunctions, it can lead to standing water, unpleasant odors, or incomplete cleaning. Accessing the pump typically involves removing the lower access panel or tilting the dishwasher onto its rear side. Replacement is recommended at the first sign of failure to maintain optimal performance.

Plug in dishwasher and run rinse cycle to check for no water leak. If all okay replace access panel. Done.

I'm considering replacing the drain pump on this dishwasher as it has stopped draining and so does not complete the cycle....it just stops and shuts down. There is a clicking noise that happens intermittently when the machine is trying to drain. Does this sound like the pump to you? I have checked the drain hose and it is not blocked. Do you have assembly drawings that show what all the numbered parts in the diagram are? Thanks in advance
For model number KUDEA48FXSS6
Hello Stephen, Thank you for the question. The clicking sounds like the control board trying to send the signal to the defective pump to start. If you enter the model number into the site and click on the 9th diagram, it will show all the parts. Hope this helps, good luck with this repair!

The dishwasher is washing well and even drains. Right after it drains it starts to make a really loud noise off and on. It won't do anything else with the cycle and then eventually just turns off. Does this sound like the drain pump?
For model number KDTE254ESS1
Hi Carmen, thank you for your question. Yes, it sounds like you might want to check your drain pump for being the problem. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

My dishwasher will not start the clean cycle. There is standing water in the base of the wash area. It is making an intermittent clicking/grinding sound a few times then it goes into cancel/drain mode before turning itself off. Does this mean the drain motor is jammed/failed?
For model number JDB8200AWS1
Hi Brian,
Thank you for your question. If you have standing water in the bottom of your dishwasher, there is likely food debris trapped in the filter or the pump preventing the water from draining. You will need to inspect these parts and clean them of any debris. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I have a small amount of water standing in the filter bowl. The dishwasher smells, does not clean well, and does not complete the drying cycle. Any thoughts? I assume the pump is not working properly clearing the dirty water
For model number KDTE334GPS0
Hello Arthur, Thank you for the question. The first thing we suggest trying to cleaning the filter, pump and hoses to be sure there is no debris slowing the draining processes and leaving water behind. We hope this helps!

My dishwasher would not drain no noises, cleaned the drain filter and put it back. Ran the dishwasher with no dishes in it and it drained very good. Put dishes in and ran it the 2nd time and did not drain. I removed all water, cleaned everything, put liquid plumber in dishwasher and garbage disposal have not run yet to see results.
For model number KDTE254ESS3
Hello Bruce, Thank you for the question. If the Liquid Plumber does not fix the issue, we suggest checking the drain pump and hose for any blockage or clogs. If they are clear, you may have a defective Drain Pump. You can also check the Sump for any blockage as well before replacing the Pump. We hope this helps!
I would like to know if we can get a replacement impeller for the drain pump rather then replacing the entire pump since the pump is still working? Thanks
For model number JDB8700AWP3
Hello Wally, Thank you for the question. Very sorry, the parts to the Pump are not sold separate from the Pump. Whirlpool only sells the impeller as part of the Drain Pump Assembly. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
