Whirlpool Dishwasher Pump Assembly (W11414076)

The Whirlpool Dishwasher Pump Assembly circulates and drains water during wash and rinse cycles. It moves water through the spray arms to clean dishes, then pushes used water out through the drain path at the end of each phase. A working pump assembly helps maintain steady water pressure, normal cycle timing, and proper draining. Common causes of failure include wear to the impeller, blockage from debris, seals that begin to leak, or an internal motor that overheats or loses torque. Hard water buildup can increase drag on moving parts. A partial clog can strain the motor and reduce circulation. Electrical faults in the motor windings can also stop the pump from running. Look for these symptoms to judge whether this pump assembly matches your issue: - Dishes come out dirty because spray pressure is weak or stops during the cycle - The dishwasher fills but does not wash, or you do not hear normal water movement - Standing water remains in the tub at the end of the cycle - Intermittent draining, slow draining, or draining that stops mid-cycle - Unusual grinding, buzzing, or rattling sounds from the sump area - Water leaks from the bottom center of the dishwasher during operation - Cycles run longer than normal because water is not circulating or draining as expected
