This dishwasher drain and wash impeller kit comes with both the drain and wash impeller, gaskets, chopper, and installation screw. This part helps stop your dishwasher from leaking and helps with the proper draining of the dishwasher. If you notice that your dishes are not cleaning, the dishwasher is not draining properly, or is making any unusually loud sounds or grinding noises, this could indicate the impeller and seal kit have broken down and need to be replaced. You will need a #15 and #20 torx driver, a small flat-blade screwdriver, 1/4-inch nut driver, adjustable wrench, and a small hammer and a sharp chisel.

Unprotected carbon seal
Parts were fine except carbon seal witch takes a beating placed in that bag along with steel parts. Needs to be wrapped to protect carbon edge from being nicked.

Parts fit perfect.
The complete drain & wash impeller kit worked out perfect. The hardest part of the repair was making sure the punp seal & bearings were pushed down far enough for the drain impeller to sit flush. With a dab of dish soap applied first it went right in. My wife is thrilled her dish washer works again!

Wrong parts
The parts remain unopened as I could see through the transparent wrap that I chose the wrong part.
I did fix my dishwasher, however.
Can I return them?

Dishwasher not draining
Actually I ordered the drain and wash impeller kit because it was listed as the #1 cause of failure to drain. I then hired a plumber to install it. He did so and that didn't solve the problem. So I was about to buy a new dishwasher. I then noticed that the second most frequent cause was a problem with the "dishwasher drain check valve." I
... Read more watched the "partselect" video on how to change that. I didn't have a new one but I thought I would take out the part and see what I could learn. As it turned out it was blocked by a little piece of what appeared to be a walnut chip. I cleaned it out reinstalled the drain check valve and the problem was solved.

1/4 inch bolt frozen to shaft
The 1/4 inch impeller bolt to shaft would not budge with a nut driver so I had to use a ratchet to loosen it. I could not hold the drain impeller with an adjustable wrench so I had to use a vice-grip. This still did not loosen it so I used an oscillating power saw to cut away at the bottom of the drain impeller being careful to only cut s
... Read moreo deep, I didn't want to cut into the motor shaft. Once I had cut some grooves into the drain impeller, I could break it into pieces and remove it. Upon reassembly I tightened the 1/4 inch bolt with the ratchet.

When the dishwasher started it would squeal.
Mine is a Ultra Wash 111 I followed the repair video on your site but my dishwasher was a little different. Not enough that anyone could still understand the video and not get it disassembled. The video shows two ball checks but mine doesn't use them where the videos shows. I put them in anyway because I called Whirlpool, who made my
... Read more washer, and they assured me that they should be in there. They got sucked through the dump impeller and plugged the discharge tube so I had to disassemble it again and take the ball checks out. Lucky for me nothing got damaged. I then got a hold of someone on your chat line that got me to the correct parts view that shows where the ball check is suppose to go on my washer. During working on my washer I realized the squealing was because the bottom bearing on the motor needed oil. So all and all I'm happy because it runs quiet and it works fine. Thanks Greg
Very noisy on heavy wash cycles started and stopped when filling
repair was very easy did need to go to the hardware store for and adapter for the hose to water inlet valve as mine had a smaller diameter connector. Otherwise followed both videos. Needed a shopvac to remove water in the bottom of the dishwasher
Dishwasher made a crunching, grinding sound and then stopped working.
I followed the video available on partselect.com and was easily able to follow step by step the process of removing and reinstalling a new Drain and Wash Impeller and Check Ball.
Installed pump kit. Was surprised the kit seemed different( some parts changed or deleted. Instructed to discard old parts and follow with new configuration. Reassembled and tried t fin it works fine now. Thank you so much

The black rubber gasket? On the washer arm assembly is breaking down and leaving black on the dishes. Is it possible to get just that part?
For model number DU8500XX3
Hi Marilyn,
Thank you for your inquiry. The gasket is only sold in this kit and is not sold separately. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hi my dishwasher is having a issue with draining, found water in tub and hit cancel / drain button 4 times to get it completely empty. ( very low flow out drain hose ). What part would I need .
For model number GU980SCGB2
Hi Joe, Thank you for the question. I suggest testing the board and motor. You will need to access the control board while the unit running and check to see if there is intermittent power going to the wash motor. The pins for the wash motor on the control board would be P3 for the main winding, P5 for the drain winding and P4 for the wash winding of the motor. If you check from the wash winding to the P7 neutral, there should be a constant 120 vac while in the wash mode. Hope this helps!

I put in a new drain kit but the dishwasher still doesn't drain. Any suggestions?
For model number kudg25shwh1
Hi Sid, Thank you for the question. If the Drain and Wash Impeller Kit did not fix the issue, you may have an issue with the Pump and Motor Assembly, PartSelect Number PS3500990. Hope this helps!

I replaced the drain and impeller kit parts but the lower sprayer arm is very wobbly after reassembly. The plastic part with sort of a rubber donuts is screwed down onto the filter housing tightly but the sprayer arm is loose and wobbly. Is it supposed to wobble loose like that or am I missing another gasket to tighten it up better?
For model number DU920PFGB0
Hi Alan, Thank you for the question. There are two parts above the lower sprayarm. The Part Number: PS11741251, Cap and Connector Assembly and the Part Number: PS11743936, Lower Wash Arm Bearing and the Part Number: PS11741334 Lower Sprayarm Seal that woudl help hold the sprayarm securely. Hope this helps!

Trying to troubleshoot. My dishwasher won't drain. Motor runs as normal but the water shoots back up through the lower washer arms. Will this kit fix that? It's seems like it by watching the video. I don't want to replace the motor. It's an old enough unit to justify replacing unless a smaller fix
For model number Gu980scgq3
Hello Greg, thank you for your question. The drain and wash impeller kit could be the issue. The other possibility is the motor and pump kit. Good luck with your repair!

My dishwasher does not always drain and also says that the child lock is on when it is not. Will this fix that?
For model number KUDS25SHBL1
Hi Sean,
Thank you for your question. If the dishwasher is not draining, the drain and wash impeller kit usually fixes the issue the majority of the time. There are some other parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. Here is a link from our website that you may reference on what parts to check, https://www.partselect.com/AdvancedModelSymptoms.aspx?ModelNum=KUDS25SHBL1&mfgModelNum=&fkMfgID=3&ModelMasterID=53358&PID=23. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I installed a new impeller kit and the dishwasher works like new but now leaks out the bottom. I’ve taken it apart and checked everything but it still leaks. Could the shaft seal be wrong or defective
For model number Kitchen aid superba KUDS24SEWH5
Hello Stan, thank you for contacting us. We recommend you check your tub gasket, part number PS384950, as it is responsible to prevents leaks between the circulation pump and the tub. We hope this information helps.
I imagine i need a new impeller kit, but not sure. When i push the cancel/drain button, the water sitting in the tub cycles through the spray arms instead of draining. Is this impeller related?
For model number GU980SCGQ2
Hello JR, Thank you for your inquiry. It can be, the other part to check is the motor and pump. You can test the parts with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, there are YouTube videos available to assist you. Hope this helps!
