Whirlpool Pump and Motor Assembly W10806701 OEM Part

Whirlpool Corporation, known for its diverse brand portfolio, manufactures products under names such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, they produce parts for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The part in focus here is a dishwasher circulation pump and motor assembly, designed to ensure effective water flow through the appliance's spray arm. If you notice the spray arms are not operating as expected, this component may require replacement.

The process for replacing the pump and motor assembly is straightforward. Begin by disconnecting the dishwasher from its power source and shutting off the water supply. Detach the drain line connected to either the garbage disposal or sink drain. Access the interior by opening the dishwasher door, removing the lower dish rack, and sliding the upper dishrack out of its track. Detach the spray arm at the bottom and release any clips securing the feed tube. With a nut driver, remove both the bottom access panel and the toe panel. Disconnect the power cable at the junction box and detach the water supply line from the inlet valve. Pull the dishwasher away from the counter, tilt it on its side, and disconnect the hose from the drain pump. Remove the wire harness from the pump and disconnect wires from the diverter motor and circulation motor. Finally, return the dishwasher to its upright position and replace the old pump and motor assembly with the new one.

This component is compatible with dishwashers produced by Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Sears/Kenmore.
