Additional Information
The Whirlpool Dishwasher Pump Grommet is an essential component for maintaining the proper function of the dishwasher's circulation pump. It helps ensure a tight seal around the pump inlet, preventing leaks and maintaining efficient water flow throughout the dishwasher cycle. Before installing this part, ensure the dishwasher is unplugged or the house circuit breaker is shut off to ensure safety. This part replaces several previous models, ensuring compatibility across different Whirlpool dishwasher designs.
Perfect replacement for the old leaking part. I wish the the shipping wasn't as much for something that small and light, but I really needed this part to restore the dishwasher to working order.

Easy install. Out with the old in with the new. More time to pull out the dishwasher than to replace the grommet.

The new grommet was the correct repair to stop the leak, but I will hire someone that works on the bottom of dishwashers with the correct tools to do the job next time.

Was a little tricky, but overall very easy.

The only tricky part was not the grommet, but instead it was putting the hose back on the pump. Make sure grommet is pressed completely into place.
