Single mom here. Just commenting to say thank you! I may have watched this video 27 times, but I was able to do this completely on my own and fix my dishwasher. So again, thank you!! 👏🏼
It's seldom I comment on videos but I had to just take a minute and say THANK YOU. I have this same dishwasher and had done all the easy steps from other videos, which didn't resolve the issue. Pulled the pump today and found plastic debris clogging it up. Cleaned it out, reassembled, and waa-la! Cleaning like a new one again. Great instructions, very well done. I had to use a standard hose clamp, Home Depot didn't have a crimp clamp the right size. I'll keep an eye on that for leaks but so far so good. Thank you again, appreciate the effort you put into this video.
Helpful and clear video! We used this to replace the circulation pump of an IKEA machine. The new pump cost $38, very favorable compared to other options.
Excellent tutorial. I followed it exactly. Turned out there was a calcium buildup from my hot water heater that was stuck in the pump circulator. I cleared the obstruction and the old pump is working properly now. Your video set my up for success, and I saved on the new pump, since I ended up using the old one again. Thank you.
great video! you saved me a ton of money, just learning how to remove the pump and check it - turns out mine had an obstruction stuck in the impeller. Here's to hoping the resistance didn't burn up the motor. Just need to buy a new crimp clamp and put it back together and test!
Thank you for this. Everything on my dishwasher is running fine except water is not spraying. Going to follow your steps to see if this is the underlying problem
Thank you . This was an excellent presentation. The pump on a Whirlpool DW I have at my daughter’s house has this issue . I was just quoted $360.00 for the part and $70.00 to install . After watching the how to repair, I’m good with $70.00 to remove and install. The mark up on the part is about double . I’m partially disabled so some of the labor process would be a challenge. Thank you anyway . It was a very informative read.
Your video walked me step by step through replacing the circulation pump on my Whirlpool dishwasher. Thank you for posting this video and I hope you have a great week.
Great help , your video certainly save me a service call and it worked perfectly. My model is a little different than yours, but I figured out the few additional steps. Thanks again.
The pump splits at the motor. It's made to twist apart and be put back. No need to mess with the hose clamps. Just twist off the old pump and twist the new one back on. There's an o-ring that should be lubed with some dish soap when you do that. The pump can be removed the same way for cleaning. It's a wet rotor design and the rotor cavity fills with gunk. Cleaning it out occasionally helps breath new life back into it. Although eventually the rotor's bushings wear out and the pump has to be replaced. I've also had one with a cracked rotor magnet.
I kept my wires and hoses long so I can just pull the dishwasher out. Pump keeps getting grit in it. It takes me less than 5min to remove, clean, and replace, but doing this once a week is getting old. Any way to prevent grit from entering the moving parts of the pump?
It'd be tricky. I think they're intended to be single use. You can replace those with a normal metal hose clamp, or the tool and a couple clamps is pretty inexpensive: amzn.to/3XlMzx2 Good luck!
I went step by step using this video, Got the circular pump on, however I can here it trying to engage but then stops, then it tries to engage again but stops, is this considered a bad circular pump or is something else going on???
Screw that... I can't even get the small rubber hose that he just pops off with no problems. I can literally lift the machine with my screwdriver under it and it hasn't budged
