154580301 Frigidaire Dishwasher Drain Pump

Dishwasher Drain Pump Overview:

The Drain Pump Assembly is a standard replacement part designed for Frigidaire dishwashers, but it is also compatible with several other brands, including Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore. The assembly features a small electric motor coupled with an impeller, which are essential for evacuating water from the dishwasher to the drain hose.

During the dishwasher's drain cycle, the drain pump activates, causing the impeller to spin rapidly. This action generates a force that propels the water out of the dishwasher and into the drain hose.

Potential indicators of a malfunctioning drain pump include:

- Water remaining in the dishwasher after a cycle
- Unusual sounds during operation
- Unpleasant smells

Typically, issues with the drain pump arise from obstructions in the pump or drain hose, damage to the motor or impeller, or electrical faults in the motor.

Replacing a faulty drain pump can resolve problems such as:

- Incomplete draining
- Excessive noise during use

This part is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and operational reliability of your dishwasher.
