W11416362 Whirlpool Dishwasher Pump & Motor Assembly – The direct fix for a Whirlpool dishwasher that won't wash (fills with water but nothing happens), won't drain (standing water in the tub after the cycle), has no water pressure to the spray arms, hums or buzzes but the pump won't run, leaves dishes dirty or food-covered after a full cycle, makes a loud grinding or growling noise during operation, or leaks water from underneath. The pump and motor assembly is the core mechanical component of the dishwasher — the motor drives the circulation pump that pressurizes water and forces it through the spray arms for cleaning, and in many models also drives the drain pump that evacuates dirty water at the end of each cycle. When this assembly fails, the dishwasher loses its ability to clean, drain, or both. Common failures include: motor winding burnout (motor completely dead — dishwasher fills but sits silent), seized motor (loud hum or buzz but pump won't turn), worn impeller (motor runs but water pressure is weak — dishes come out dirty), shaft seal leak (water drips from the pump onto the motor, eventually killing it), bearing failure (loud grinding noise that worsens over time), and drain impeller failure (washes fine but won't drain). If your dishwasher fills with water but the spray arms don't spin, or you hear the motor humming but no water is moving, the pump and motor assembly has failed. This genuine OEM Whirlpool part directly replaces W11345228. Fits Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, and Jenn-Air dishwashers. 45–75 minute DIY repair.
