Samsung Dishwasher Drain Pump Motor Parts — Models & Compatibility

Your Samsung dishwasher won't drain, leaving standing water in the bottom after every cycle. The drain pump motor (DD31-00016A) is the component that pushes water out through the drain hose. When it fails, you'll hear grinding noises during the drain cycle or find water pooling around the filter area days after your last load.

This replacement part works across Samsung's premium dishwasher lineup — from the WaterWall series (DW80B7070 models) to the AutoRelease Door series (DW80B6060 models) manufactured between 2018-2024. It replaces AP5917178, PS9606350, and part number 4000925.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your model number first. Open the dishwasher door and look along the top edge or side panel — you'll see a white sticker with your model and serial number. Samsung model numbers follow the format DW80B6060US/AA or DW60M9990AP/AA. The letters and numbers before the slash tell you the series.

This DD31-00016A pump fits over 20 Samsung dishwasher models, primarily in the DW80B and DW80H series. If your model starts with DW80B7070, DW80B6060, or DW80H9930, you're in the right place. Scroll down to verify your exact model appears in our compatibility list.

About This Replacement Drain Pump

The drain pump motor sits at the bottom of your dishwasher tub and runs for 60-90 seconds at the end of each cycle. It's a sealed unit with an impeller that forces water through the drain hose at high pressure. Samsung uses this same pump design across multiple series because it handles the high-efficiency water volumes their WaterWall and StormWash systems produce.

Most drain pump failures happen after 3-5 years of regular use. You'll notice the dishwasher completes its cycle but leaves water standing in the filter well. Sometimes the pump hums or buzzes but doesn't actually move water. Other times it's completely silent — a sign the motor windings have failed internally.

Hard water deposits and food debris can shorten pump life. If you've been getting error codes like 0E, 0C, or 1E on your Samsung's display, the drain pump is the likely culprit. The control board won't proceed to the dry cycle if it detects water still present after the drain cycle times out.

Don't see your exact model? Samsung often uses the same internal components across series variations. If your model starts with DW80B or DW60M and you're experiencing drain issues, this pump likely fits. Check the part number on your existing pump (it's molded into the plastic housing) to confirm before ordering.

What Comes With Your Order

You're getting the complete drain pump motor assembly — the motor, impeller housing, and mounting bracket all come pre-assembled. The electrical connector clips directly into your dishwasher's wiring harness, and the pump mounts to the sump housing with three screws (you'll reuse your existing screws).

The part includes a one-year manufacturer warranty. Keep your order confirmation and model number handy if you need warranty service down the road.

Installation Overview

Replacing the drain pump requires removing the lower access panel, disconnecting the pump's electrical connector, and detaching the drain hose. The pump is held in place by three screws — remove those and the old pump lifts right out. Installation takes 30-45 minutes if you're methodical about it.

You'll need a Phillips screwdriver, needle-nose pliers (for hose clamps), and a towel to soak up residual water. Disconnect power at the breaker before starting any work. Samsung dishwashers have a lot of wiring in the lower compartment, so take photos as you disassemble things — makes reassembly way easier.

Troubleshooting Drain Issues

Before replacing the pump, check these common issues first. Pull out the filter assembly at the bottom of the tub and clear any debris. Run a drain cycle and listen — if the pump hums but doesn't move water, something's blocking the impeller. If it's completely silent, the motor's dead.

Check your drain hose for kinks or clogs too. Disconnect it from under the sink and blow through it — should be clear airflow. A clogged hose makes the pump work harder and can burn it out prematurely. While you're at it, make sure the drain hose rises higher than the standing water level in your sink trap — prevents backflow.
