WD26X10051 General Electric Dishwasher Wash Pump and Motor Assembly

The Dishwasher Wash Pump and Motor Assembly is designed for various GE appliances, including models from Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and Sears-Kenmore. This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part is crucial for both circulating and draining water throughout the dishwasher's cycles. It operates by using a motor to drive an impeller, which moves water from the dishwasher's lower section to the upper spray arm, aiding in the effective rinsing and removal of food residues from dishes.<br /><br />Common indicators of a malfunctioning pump and motor assembly are:<br /><br />- Water remains in the dishwasher or drains slowly after the cycle ends<br />- Inadequate water movement during the washing and rinsing phases, leading to poorly cleaned dishes<br />- Noticeable humming or grinding sounds from the dishwasher<br />- Water leaks from around the dishwasher's tub or base, often due to failing pump seals<br /><br />The typical reasons for these issues include normal wear and tear, accumulation of minerals or debris in the pump impeller which impedes water flow, or moisture-related damage to the motor's windings.<br /><br />This GE part is also compatible with appliances from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears.
