Drain Pump Assembly

The drain pump assembly is located under the tub 
and operates on 120 VAC. It is energized for the fi rst 
60 seconds of a new cycle and 90 seconds after the 
wash pump shuts down to remove any water in the 
dishwasher sump. The drain pump forces water out 
of the drain line. A check valve fl apper on the drain 
pump prevents the dirty water from reentering the 
sump.

The drain pump has an approximate resistance 
value of 24 

.

Operation of the drain pump assembly can be 
checked by using the service test mode. (See 

Service 

Test Mode

.)

To remove the drain pump:

1. Disconnect 

power.

2.  Open the dishwasher door and remove the 

bottom rack.

3.  Remove the dishwasher from its installation.

4.  Lay the dishwasher on its back.

5.  Cut off the plastic tie and disconnect the 2 wires 

from the drain pump.

6.  Remove the 2 Phillips-head screws that hold the 

drain pump to the sump.

7.  Rotate the pump 1/4-turn counterclockwise to 

remove.

Note: Ensure the O-ring is retained in the pump seal 
before reassembly.
