What moves it
Why two of the same job cost different amounts
These apply at the same time and in both directions. Which of them is true of your kitchen is what the on-site diagnostic settles.
-
Which pump has actually gone
A circulation pump and a drain pump are different components with different symptoms and different prices. A machine that fills and does not wash is not the same problem as one that washes and does not empty.
-
Which company built the machine
665 Whirlpool and 587 Frigidaire pumps are inexpensive and widely held. A 630 is a Bosch and the component costs more, which is one of the few places on this site where the prefix moves the figure upward.
-
How the machine is installed
A dishwasher screwed to a stone counter, wedged under a lip, or plumbed with no slack in the lines takes longer to get out and longer to put back properly.
-
Whether the drain path was the real problem
A pump replaced into a blocked line fails again. Proving the path is part of the job rather than a separate visit.
-
What the water has left behind
A pump that has been grinding through scale and debris often shares a machine with a sump, a check valve and a hose in the same condition. Replacing the pump alone is sometimes buying half a repair.
The work itself
What we actually do
The job behind the figure: what it involves, when a symptom points at it, and what we check first.
-
from $225 Dishwasher pump replacement
Where the drain pump or the wash pump has genuinely failed rather than been blocked. The two do different jobs and produce different complaints — one leaves water behind, the other leaves dishes dirty — and telling them apart before ordering is most of the value here.
- Wash and drain pumps are different failures
- Blockage ruled out before a part is named
- The builder's own part number, sourced properly

About Kenmore dishwasher pump replacement cost
Why this costs less here than on a European machine
Because the component is a Whirlpool part or a Frigidaire part made in enormous numbers for machines sold under several badges. It is on a shelf rather than on a boat. That is the clearest example on this site of badge engineering working in the owner's favor: the appliance is ordinary underneath, and ordinary parts are cheap and available.
The cabinetry is half the job
Getting a built-in dishwasher out without marking a floor or a cabinet, and back in square, level and sealed to the counter, is genuine work. It is also the part that a badly done repair shows up in immediately — a door that no longer lines up, or a machine that rocks when the racks are loaded.
What is checked while it is out
The drain hose along its whole run, the inlet valve, the leg levels and the electrical connection. All of those are awkward with the machine in place and trivial with it out, and looking at them while we are there is the difference between one visit and two.

Before you book
Questions about Kenmore dishwasher pump replacement cost
Is a new dishwasher cheaper?
On an older mid-market machine that question is fair and we will answer it honestly. This repair usually wins on a machine under about ten years old and usually loses well beyond that.
It hums but nothing happens.
A pump that hums is being told to run and is not turning. That is frequently something jammed in the impeller rather than a dead motor, and it is checked before anything is ordered.
