Dishwasher pumps are key to cleaning and draining dishes. There are two types: the water pump, which circulates water during the wash cycle, and the drain pump, which removes water after washing. If your dishes aren’t cleaning properly or water is left standing, the pumps may be malfunctioning. Regular maintenance and early detection of pump issues can help avoid bigger problems down the road. Selecting the appropriate replacement pump is essential to ensure compatibility with your dishwasher model.
