Genuine WPW10348269 Dishwasher Drain Pump
The WPW10348269 is a genuine OEM Whirlpool-family dishwasher drain pump that evacuates dirty water from the sump and pushes it out through the drain hose to the sink/disposer or standpipe. It replaces W10348269 (and is also listed as replacing several older drain-pump numbers on many catalogs). Typical failures include a jammed impeller (glass/labels), worn motor bearings, electrical failure, or a leaking O-ring/seal at the pump mount. Symptoms: standing water in the tub, slow/no drain, loud buzzing/humming during drain, intermittent draining, or drain errors (model dependent). IMPORTANT: Many “won’t drain” calls are a clogged filter/sump, blocked drain hose/air gap, or a seized disposer knockout—confirm before replacing the pump. CRITICAL: Turn off breaker and water supply before servicing.
