Whirlpool W10083957v Genuine OEM Dishwasher Chopper Assembly

The Dishwasher Chopper Assembly is located inside the dishwasher pump and chops up or minces food particles to prevent clogging in the dishwasher pump. If your drain is clogging with larger pieces of food, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. To access the part, remove the lower dishrack from the appliance and the lower spray arm hub. Then, remove the screws holding the top of the pump and the cover. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, such as a multi-screwdriver, some disassembly of the appliance, and novice repair experience. Before installing this high-quality and easy-to-install replacement part, remember to unplug the dishwasher or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Also, make sure to turn off the water supply under the sink. Helpful Tip: We recommend using affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner (item W10282479) once a month or as needed to help remove limescale and mineral buildup that can affect your dishwasher's performance. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation. Recommended Item: The Dishwasher Drain Pan (item 1021760) slides underneath the appliance and diverts any water leak to the front of the dishwasher.
