W10142656 Whirlpool Dishwasher Pump Volute Housing with Seal

Dishwasher Pump Volute Housing with Seal
This component is suitable for use if your dishwasher is noisy or has leaks. It is compatible with various brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, this part is used in some Sears-Kenmore and Ikea products. As an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part, it ensures compatibility and performance.

The volute is located at the base of the dishwasher's interior tub. It encases the drain impeller blades which are crucial for chopping food particles and circulating water during the drain cycle. An integrated rubber seal ensures a secure fit to the inner tub, helping to prevent any water leakage.

Efficient operation of the drain pump is dependent on the integrity of the volute and seal assembly. Over time, the rubber seal may wear out or deteriorate due to exposure to chemicals and high temperatures, leading to functional failures.

Signs that the volute with seal may need replacement include:
- Puddles or standing water in the dishwasher tub.
- Unusual noises from the drain pump during operation.

This genuine Whirlpool OEM part is also compatible with certain models from Maytag, Jenn-Air, and Kenmore.
