The Drain Pump is an OEM component for GE dishwasher models. Located at the bottom of the dishwasher tub, this pump works to remove dirty water from the wash cycle and drain it out of the appliance. It is a vital component responsible for fully clearing all water from the dishwasher. Causes of a bad drain pump can include a clogged or restricted impeller which prevents proper water drainage. Sediment buildup over time can reduce the pump's efficiency. The motor or internal mechanics may also fail due to extensive use.  Symptoms of a bad drain pump include:  Incomplete draining of water at the end of cycles Puddles or standing water left in the bottom of the tub Smelly dishwasher from stagnant water issues  Error codes related to draining problems This OEM GE part is also compatible with some Kenmore dishwashers.Part Number WD26X10016 (AP3192221) replaces 948053, AH260804, EA260804, PS260804.
