# Monogram dishwasher pump replacement

### About replacing a dishwasher pump

When the drain path is proved clear and the machine still will not empty, the drain pump is what is left. On a fully integrated machine the job includes getting the appliance out of a cabinet run and its custom panel off without marking anything, and putting all of it back — which is a real part of the work rather than an afterthought.

What this involves

Only after the drain path has been proved clear

Wash pump and drain pump are different problems

Panel and cabinetry handled as part of the job

Prove the blockage is not upstream

A pump replaced because of a clogged air gap is a part bought for nothing.

Establish which pump

A machine that will not drain and a machine that will not spray are different pumps and different repairs.

Get the machine out safely

Panel off, services isolated, and the floor protected — on these kitchens the floor is often the expensive part.

Replace and seal

New pump, new seals where they are part of the assembly, and every connection re-tested.

Run a full cycle

Wash, drain and dry, with the machine back in place and the panel back on.

### Is it worth replacing the pump or should I replace the machine?

On this class of dishwasher, the pump is worth doing. These are five-figure kitchens with panels cut for the appliance, and a pump is a fraction of what replacing the machine and re-fitting a panel costs. We will tell you if the diagnosis has found other things going the same way.

### Which pump is it — the one that washes or the one that drains?

They are different parts and different repairs. A machine that fills, washes and will not empty is the drain pump. One that fills and does not spray is the wash pump or the circulation motor. Knowing which before we arrive decides what is on the van.
