W11612327 Circulation Pump Compatible with Kenmore Whirlpool Amana Dishwasher This circulation pump is designed specifically for dishwashers and is comparable to OEM quality replacement parts. It is responsible for circulating water throughout the dishwasher during the wash and rinse cycles. The circulation pump draws water from the dishwasher tub, pressurizes it, and then distributes it to the spray arms, which spray the water onto the dishes to remove food particles and debris.Operates quietly and efficiently, ensuring that the dishwasher cleans dishes effectively while consuming minimal energy and water. The circulation pump may fail due to several reasons such as an electrical fault, a blockage in the pump impeller, motor failure, or physical damage. A faulty pump will result in water leakages, unusually loud noises during use, reduced water circulation, and poor cleaning performance.
