Dishwasher Pump and Motor Assembly (replaces W10864037, W10885542) W11032770

The motor was an exact match and is functioning like it is supposed to. I would recommend Sears Parts Direct to anyone looking for OEM replacement parts.

Repairman installed and wow clean dishes again!! Thx Sears for having the part in stock.

Simple and fairly easy to install, works great. Was an exact fit.

The original clamps were a bit of a pain so I replaced them with different band clamps. It works great and it's nice to not hand wash dishes anymore!

My Whirlpool washer would fill and drain but wouldn't circulate water or run the jets. I bought this Pump & Motor to fix it. Getting the washer out and flipping it over was a pain (get a bunch of towels) but installing the pump was relatively easy. The pump itself comes with a pinch/Oetiker-style clamp already installed - you either need to replace it with a worm clamp or buy a pair of pinch pliers. I bought a pair of Knipex pliers for the job and it was simple. Washer is back to functioning again.

Took a special tool for clamps. Any DIY can figure it out.

I was getting a 7-1 error code, a heating element error. It threw the code because the pump was bad and no water was running over the element. I recommend reading this thread if you're having the same problem. https://www.applianceblog.com/mainforums/threads/kdfe104dss2-kitchenaid-dishwasher-error-code-7-1-heating-element-is-fine-though.78896/

Followed videos from repairclinic to replace, this was a direct replacement for our dishwasher model kdfe204ess1. We were having issues with dishes not being washed at the end of the cycle, long periods of silence, and soap left on the bottom of the dishwasher but none of that anymore. Its an expensive part but about a quarter of the cost of a new one so it was worth it for us.
