General Electric Drain Pump Assembly WD26X10016 OEM Part

The Dishwasher Drain Pump Assembly is a critical part for dishwashers experiencing drainage issues. It is designed to work with a range of GE appliances, including models from Hotpoint, General Electric, and select Sears-Kenmore lines. Located at the dishwasher's base, the drain pump plays a key role in expelling wastewater after a washing cycle, thereby maintaining a clean appliance by removing any leftover water.

A drain pump may cease to function correctly if the impeller becomes obstructed or restricted, which disrupts water movement. Over time, sediment build-up can impair the pump's operation. Additionally, consistent use can result in wear, affecting the motor or other internal components.

Indications of a problematic drain pump include:

- Incomplete water drainage following a cycle
- Water accumulation at the bottom of the dishwasher
- Odors arising from stagnant water
- Error messages related to drainage issues

This genuine GE original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part also fits specific Kenmore dishwasher models.
