The Original New Whirlpool OEM W10864037 / W10529163 Dishwasher Circulation Wash Pump Motor is a genuine replacement component for various dishwasher models.
Its key features are:
Primary Function: Water Circulation: The motor's main job is to circulate (or pump) the water and detergent throughout the dishwasher tub, forcing it up through the spray arms to clean the dishes.
Genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer): It is an authentic part manufactured by or for Whirlpool, guaranteeing the highest quality, material, and fit specifications for the appliance.
Supersession of Part Numbers: The part number W10864037 and W10529163 are often superseded by a single, newer part number (commonly W11032770), meaning the replacement part is engineered to replace and improve upon all these older versions.
Troubleshooting Solution: Replacing this assembly is the correct repair for common dishwasher faults, including:
The dishwasher is not cleaning dishes properly (due to poor water flow).
The dishwasher is making unusual noises during the wash cycle (squealing, grinding, or humming).
Water is not spraying from the wash arms.
The pump is leaking water.
Broad Brand Compatibility: It is compatible with many dishwashers made by the Whirlpool Corporation, including models under brands like Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, JennAir, Kenmore, and others
