Whirlpool designs its OEM parts to match the original engineering of your appliance. This pump and motor assembly is the genuine component, which means it fits correctly and operates to factory specifications. It’s the difference between a temporary fix and a proper, long-term restoration of your dishwasher’s core function.

This assembly drives the wash and drain cycles. In daily use, that translates to reliable water circulation for the Normal, Intensive, Quick Wash, and Rinse Only settings. A failing pump often means standing water or poor cleaning performance. Installing this part directly addresses those issues, returning your dishwasher to consistent, quiet operation.

It replaces several previous part numbers, including W10917110, W11085683, and W11164469. Ensure you match the model number for a correct fit. This is a specific repair part, so installation requires some technical confidence or a professional. For the right DIYer, it’s a definitive solution.
