Whirlpool & KitchenAid Dishwasher Circulation Pump Motor Parts — Models & Compatibility

If your Whirlpool or KitchenAid dishwasher isn't cleaning dishes properly, makes grinding noises during the wash cycle, or won't start at all, you're likely dealing with a failed circulation pump motor. This W10510667 pump motor is the direct replacement for over 100 dishwasher models across Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and Kenmore brands — it's the workhorse that pushes water through your spray arms to actually clean your dishes.

This hub covers everything you need to know about the W10510667 circulation pump motor: which models it fits, how to verify compatibility, and what symptoms indicate you need this specific part.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

The W10510667 pump motor fits dishwashers manufactured primarily between 2012 and 2020. To verify compatibility, you'll need your full model number — not just the series name. Open your dishwasher door and look along the top edge of the door frame or on the left side panel. You're looking for a tag with a model number that starts with WDF, WDT, KDTE, KDFE, or similar prefixes.

Cross-reference your complete model number (including the digit after the series letters) against the compatibility list below. The W10510667 also replaces older part numbers WPW10510667, W10349483, and W10440715 — if your original pump had any of these numbers, this is your direct replacement.

About This Replacement Part

The circulation pump motor is what creates the water pressure needed to spray water through your dishwasher's arms. When it fails, you'll typically notice dishes coming out still dirty, the dishwasher making unusual grinding or humming sounds, or the unit refusing to start a cycle altogether. Some failures are sudden — the pump just stops mid-cycle — while others develop gradually with decreasing wash performance over several weeks.

This isn't a wear item that needs regular replacement, but after 8-10 years of use, the motor windings can burn out or the impeller housing can crack, especially if you've had hard water buildup or a small object (like a toothpick or glass fragment) jam the impeller. Leaking is another telltale sign — if you see water pooling under your dishwasher after a cycle, the pump seal may have failed.

The W10510667 is a complete motor and housing assembly, which means you don't need to salvage any parts from your old pump. You'll need to access the bottom of the dishwasher (either by removing the kickplate and reaching up, or by pulling the unit out and tipping it back), disconnect the wiring harness and water inlet/outlet hoses, and swap the entire assembly. Most repairs take 45-60 minutes if you've got the dishwasher accessible.

Compatible Models

This circulation pump motor works with the following Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and Kenmore dishwasher models. If your exact model isn't listed, check the original part number on your current pump — if it matches any of the superseded numbers (WPW10510667, W10349483, W10440715), this part will fit.
