📄 Long Description

The ERP W11497943 Dishwasher Drain Pump is a high‑quality replacement designed to match the performance of the original Whirlpool drain pump. This pump removes wastewater from the tub during the wash and rinse cycles. When the pump fails, dishwashers may stop draining, leave standing water, or display drain‑related error codes.

ERP’s aftermarket design delivers strong, reliable water flow with a durable motor, reinforced impeller, and sealed housing to protect against leaks and debris. It installs quickly and restores proper draining performance in many Whirlpool‑manufactured dishwashers, including select KitchenAid, Maytag, JennAir, and Amana models.

Ideal for technicians, DIY repairs, and multi‑channel e‑commerce listings.
