Whirlpool W11690640 Dishwasher Sump Assembly

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL W11690640 is a replacement sump assembly designed for Whirlpool dishwashers. The sump sits at the base of the dishwasher tub and serves as the collection point for wash water, housing the pump inlet and filter system that circulates water through the spray arms during each wash cycle. This part is a direct OEM-style replacement installed by appliance repair technicians and experienced service professionals. It restores proper water circulation and drainage function when the original sump is cracked, leaking, or otherwise damaged.

This sump assembly is intended for use in residential Whirlpool dishwasher units. It is typically replaced when the dishwasher shows signs of water leakage from the tub base, reduced wash performance due to poor water circulation, or visible physical damage to the existing sump housing. Installation is performed as part of a lower pump and motor service on the dishwasher tub assembly.

Installation Notes

Disconnect power to the dishwasher at the breaker or by unplugging the unit before beginning any service work. Shut off the water supply and have towels or a shallow pan available to catch residual water in the tub and pump cavity. Sump replacement is typically performed by a qualified appliance repair technician, as it requires removing the dishwasher lower spray arm, filter assembly, and pump components. Follow all local appliance service codes and the manufacturer service documentation for proper reassembly torque and seal seating procedures.
