Whirlpool Dishwasher Repair – Uniontown, OH (WDT720PADM)

A Whirlpool dishwasher in Uniontown wasn’t getting water through the spray arms despite having proper water supply and working electronics. Our diagnosis revealed the wash pump had failed and needed replacement along with its grommet.

The Problem

The customer reported that the dishwasher does not seem to be getting water through the spray arms. They had already verified the supply valve is open, all electronics work properly, overfill float moves freely, and spray arms can spin freely.

Diagnosis

With water supply confirmed and electronics functioning normally, we focused on the wash pump system. Testing revealed the wash pump had failed, preventing water circulation to the spray arms even though the unit was receiving adequate water supply.

The Repair

• Parts needed: New wash pump and grommet
• Work required: Wash pump replacement
• Estimated cost: Around $400.00 to repair

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Whirlpool model is a solid mid-range dishwasher that typically provides reliable service for many years. A $400 wash pump replacement on a unit of this caliber is generally worthwhile, especially if the dishwasher is under 8-10 years old and has performed well otherwise.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Dishwashers

• Clean the filter at the bottom of the tub monthly to prevent debris from reaching the wash pump
• Run hot water at the kitchen sink before starting a cycle to ensure proper water temperature
• Use rinse aid to prevent water spots and help dishes dry completely
