W11460963 Whirlpool Dishwasher Motor Pump

Dishwasher Motor Pump

Whirlpool's brand portfolio includes Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Circulation Pump, a genuine OEM part, plays a crucial role in Whirlpool dishwashers by circulating water during various washing cycles. This ensures that dishes are evenly covered with hot water and detergents, which is essential for effective cleaning.

The deterioration of a circulation pump can be attributed to several factors. Continuous use and exposure to chemicals can lead to motor, impeller, or seal failures. Furthermore, mineral deposits from hard water may reduce the pump's efficiency over time.

Signs of a malfunctioning circulation pump include:

- Inconsistent or poor cleaning results, even with hot water cycles.
- Reduced efficiency in water filling and draining.
- Unusual sounds emanating from the pump motor area.

This OEM part is compatible with various models from Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
