Samsung Dishwasher Circulation Pump Parts — Models & Compatibility

Your Samsung dishwasher won't spray water anymore? That grinding noise during the wash cycle isn't normal? The circulation pump assembly is what pushes water through the spray arms, and when it fails, you're left with dishes that come out exactly as dirty as they went in. This hub covers the DD82-01380A circulation pump assembly that fits dozens of Samsung dishwasher models from 2018 through current production.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your model number first — it's typically on a sticker inside the door edge or along the top rim when you open the door. If your model starts with DW80M, DW80N, DW80R, or DW80CG, you're likely looking at the right part. This pump assembly replaces Samsung part numbers DD82-01589A and older versions, plus aftermarket numbers AP6244427 and PS12085687.

About This Replacement Part

The circulation pump is the heart of your dishwasher's cleaning system. It pulls water from the sump at the bottom and forces it up through the spray arms at high pressure. When it starts to fail, you'll typically notice weaker spray patterns first, then intermittent operation where some cycles work and others don't. Eventually the motor burns out completely and you get no water circulation at all — just a hum or nothing. Samsung's design on models from the DW80M2020 series through the newer DW80CG series uses this same pump configuration, which makes finding the right replacement straightforward once you've confirmed your model number.

Compatible Samsung Dishwasher Series

This circulation pump assembly works across multiple Samsung dishwasher generations. The DW80M series (2017-2018 models) was when Samsung introduced this pump design, and they've continued using it through the DW80N lineup (2019), the DW80R series (2020-2021), and into current DW80CG models. That's unusual consistency for appliance parts — usually manufacturers change things every two years just to keep you buying new parts.

What's Included

You're getting the complete pump assembly, which includes the motor, impeller housing, and mounting gasket. The electrical connector is attached, so you're literally unplugging the old one and plugging in the new one. No rewiring. The mounting screws aren't included because you'll reuse your existing hardware — those screws rarely strip out, and if yours did, any M4 x 10mm machine screw from the hardware store works fine.

Installation Overview

This is a bottom-access repair. You'll need to pull the dishwasher out from under the counter, tip it on its back (protect your floor), and remove the base panel. The pump sits right there in the sump housing with four screws and one hose clamp holding it in place. Disconnect the wire harness, pull the old pump, install the new one with the gasket properly seated, and reconnect everything. Most people finish in 45 minutes to an hour. The hardest part is usually disconnecting the dishwasher from the water supply and drain line so you can pull it out safely.

Price & Availability

At $269.99, this isn't a cheap repair, but it's still way less than the $800-1200 a service call plus parts would cost, and definitely cheaper than replacing a dishwasher that's otherwise working fine. Samsung OEM pricing runs about $320-340 when you can find it in stock, so the aftermarket version saves you $50-70. The pump itself is manufactured to OEM specifications — same motor ratings, same dimensional fit, same connector type.
