Drain Pump Assembly
The drain pump assembly is located under the tub
at the left, rear corner. The drain pump operates
on 120 VAC and is energized 60 seconds after the
wash pump shuts down, to remove any water in
the dishwasher sump. The drain pump forces the
water out the drain line. A check valve flapper on
the drain pump prevents the dirty water from
reentering the sump.
Removal and Replacement
1. Disconnect power.
2. Carefully pull the dishwasher out far enough
from its installation, to access the drain pump.
