Whirlpool WDP560HAMZ0 dishwasher, undercounter or undercabinet Parts

You can tell what Whirlpool dishwasher model you have by finding the rating label and reading the model number printed on it. On Whirlpool undercounter dishwashers like WDP560HAMZ0, the label is typically on the inside edge of the door or the tub opening.

Where to look for the model number

Check these common spots first (in order):

• Inside the door along the left or right edge
• Along the top edge of the tub opening (visible when the door is open)
• On the side of the tub frame near the front
• On the inner door panel near the latch area

What you should write down

To match parts correctly, we recommend recording:

• Model number (example format: WDP560HAMZ0)
• Serial number (helps confirm production details)
• Any suffixes or revision characters exactly as shown

Why the exact model number matters

Whirlpool dishwashers can look nearly identical but use different racks, pumps, valves, and filters. Using the exact model number helps you avoid ordering the wrong part and speeds up troubleshooting.

If you need to replace...	Common part type to match by model	Example part on this model page
Poor draining	Drain pump or drain hose	Dishwasher drain pump W10876537
Not filling	Water inlet valve	Valve-water W11175771
Dishes not cleaning well	Spray arm or filter	Dishwasher spray arm WPW10491331

Quick tip if the label is hard to read

If the label is worn or covered with residue:

• Wipe it with a damp cloth and a drop of dish soap
• Use a flashlight at an angle to make faint printing easier to see
• Take a close-up photo and zoom in

The model number is the key to getting the right Whirlpool dishwasher parts and accurate repair guidance for your exact configuration.

The most common Whirlpool dishwasher problem (including the Whirlpool WDP560HAMZ0) is a drain or wash-performance issue: water does not drain fully, or dishes come out dirty because water flow is restricted by a clogged filter, blocked spray arm, or a weakening pump.

What we see most often (and what to check first)

Start with the simple flow-path checks before replacing parts.

• Not draining: food debris in the filter area, a kinked drain hose, or a failing drain pump
• Not cleaning well: clogged spray arm holes, a dirty filter, or low water fill
• Water left in the tub: partial drain restriction or drain pump that is getting noisy/weak
• Poor drying: heater circuit issue or thermostat problem
• Overfilling or leaking: inlet valve or float/float switch issue

Quick troubleshooting steps (10 to 20 minutes)

• Turn off power at the breaker before inspecting internal components.
• Remove and rinse the filter; reinstall it fully seated.
• Inspect the spray arm holes; clear mineral buildup and debris.
• Check the drain hose routing under the sink for kinks and a proper high loop.
• Run hot water at the sink for 30 to 60 seconds before starting a cycle (helps fill temperature).
• If water remains, listen at the end of the cycle: a humming or grinding sound often points to a struggling drain pump.

Parts that commonly solve these problems on WDP560HAMZ0

If cleaning and hose checks do not fix it, these model-matched parts are common next steps.

Symptom	Most likely area	Example part for this model
Standing water after cycle	Drain system	Dishwasher drain pump W10876537
Dishes gritty or still dirty	Filtration	Dishwasher filter WPW10463906
Weak spray, poor coverage	Spray system	Dishwasher spray arm WPW10491331
Slow fill, no fill, or fill errors	Water inlet	Valve-water W11175771

Why it matters

Drain and wash issues usually start as a restriction (filter, spray arm, hose). Fixing those early prevents repeat clogs, reduces odor, and helps the circulation system and heater run under normal load.

A Whirlpool WDP560HAMZ0 dishwasher usually leaks at the bottom of the door when water is being pushed or splashed past the door seal, most often from a spray issue (clogged spray arm, overloading) or a drain problem that leaves water too high in the tub. Start by correcting loading and cleaning the spray system, then check for drainage and level.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Stop the cycle and look for suds; too much detergent or non-dishwasher soap can force water out at the door.
• Confirm the dishwasher is level (front-to-back and side-to-side); a forward tilt can encourage door-edge leaks.
• Re-load so nothing (cookie sheets, cutting boards, tall pans) blocks the door from closing fully.
• Inspect the lower rack for items that can deflect spray directly at the door.
• Clean the filter area and remove debris that can reduce circulation and cause erratic spray.

Clean and inspect the wash system (common cause)

A partially clogged spray arm or restricted filtration can create stronger, misdirected jets that “overpower” the door seal.

• Remove and rinse the dishwasher spray arm WPW10491331; clear every jet hole.
• Check the spray arm for cracks or a split seam.
• Clean the filter and filter cup area; replace worn parts if they will not lock or seal correctly.

Parts that often help for this symptom

What we check	What it affects	Part to consider
Spray arm jets clogged or cracked	Water sprays toward door	Dishwasher spray arm WPW10491331
Filter clogged or damaged	Poor circulation, splash-out	Dishwasher filter WPW10463906
Drain pump weak or intermittent	Water level stays high	Dishwasher drain pump W10876537

Check for a drain or fill issue

If the tub is not draining well, the water level can stay higher than normal and leak at the door during wash.

• Listen for strong draining at the end of the cycle.
• Check the sink/disposer connection and make sure the drain hose has a high loop under the counter.
• Inspect the hose for kinks or soft spots; replace if restricted.

Why it matters

Door-edge leaks are often a symptom of spray direction, water level, or loading, not just a bad seal. Fixing the root cause prevents repeat leaks and helps protect the door insulation, toe panel area, and flooring.

In a Whirlpool dishwasher like model WDP560HAMZ0, the most commonly replaced parts are the ones that handle water fill, washing action, heating, and draining. When cleaning performance drops, the unit will not drain, or drying gets weak, these parts are the first places we look.

Commonly replaced parts (and what they affect)

• Water fill problems (no water, slow fill, not cleaning well): water inlet valve
• Poor cleaning (food left behind, weak spray): spray arm, filters, sump seals
• Not drying / lukewarm water: heating element, thermostat
• Not draining (standing water): drain pump, drain hose
• Rack issues (rack won’t roll, won’t adjust, falls off track): rack adjusters, rail stops

Model WDP560HAMZ0 examples from our parts list

Here are common replacements that match this model’s parts catalog:

Symptom	Part to check/replace	Example part for WDP560HAMZ0
Not draining, water left in tub	Drain pump	Dishwasher drain pump W10876537
Not filling or filling slowly	Water inlet valve	Valve-water W11175771
Dishes not getting clean	Spray arm, filters	Dishwasher spray arm WPW10491331, dishwasher filter WPW10463906
Upper rack won’t adjust or is loose	Rack adjuster	Dishwasher rack adjuster W10712395
Weak drying or poor heating	Heater circuit parts	Element assembly W10518394, thermostat WP661566

Why these parts fail more often

These components do the most work and see the most wear:

• Hard water and detergent buildup can clog filters and spray holes
• Heat cycles stress the heating element and thermostat
• Small debris (labels, glass, seeds) can jam the drain pump
• Rack rollers and adjusters wear from daily loading and unloading

Quick troubleshooting before you buy a part

• Clean the filter area and check for debris under the lower spray arm
• Confirm the spray arm spins freely and the holes are not blocked
• Check the sink drain/disposal connection for a clog if the dishwasher won’t drain
• Look for kinks in the drain hose and make sure the high loop is in place
• If you suspect an electrical part, use safe testing practices from how to use a multimeter to test electrical parts video
