Hotpoint Dishwasher Pump
Moves water around the dishwasher during the wash and pumps it out at the end.
Signs it has failed
- Water left in the bottom after a cycle
- Dishes not being washed because the spray is weak
- A loud grinding, humming or rattling from the pump
- A drain-related fault code or the cycle stopping early
Check before you buy
- Clean the filter and check for glass or fragments in the sump
- Check the drain hose and the house waste connection for kinks or blockages
- Listen for the pump humming without moving water
What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your dishwasher and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).
How to replace it
- Unplug the dishwasher and turn off the water
- Remove the lower kickboard and pull the unit out or tilt it for access
- Note the hoses and wiring, release the clamps and unplug the pump
- Remove the pump from its seal or bracket and fit the new one
- Reassemble, run a rinse and check for leaks
