5304524920 Frigidaire Dishwasher Drain Pump

Dishwasher Drain Pump Overview

The drain pump is a genuine OEM part designed specifically for Frigidaire dishwashers, though it is also compatible with certain models from Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some Kenmore appliances. This component plays a crucial role in evacuating water from the dishwasher's tub at the end of the washing cycle. It operates together with the drain hose to effectively remove dirty water, facilitating proper drying of the dishes.

Indicators of a malfunctioning drain pump include:

- Incomplete drainage of water from the dishwasher's bottom
- Residual water or puddles remaining in the unit after the cycle completes
- Unpleasant, musty odors emanating from the dishwasher
- Noticeable loud or grinding sounds from the area of the drain pump motor

Such symptoms suggest that the drain pump may require inspection or replacement to maintain the dishwasher's efficiency and hygiene.
