140000397020 Genuine Dishwasher Wash Pump 2.8kW for Electrolux Dishwashers, Circulation Pump Replacement

The wash pump, also called the circulation pump, is the heart of a dishwasher. It draws water from the sump and pushes it up to the spray arms. Part 140000397020 is the genuine Electrolux wash pump, shown in our records with a 2.8kW rating. No models are on file, so check the part number on your old pump's label or your parts list before ordering, as similar looking pumps can carry different numbers.

Dishwasher humming but not washing?

When the wash pump stops working, the dishwasher fills and may drain, but the spray arms barely move or don't turn at all. You'll often hear a hum as the motor tries to start, or a grinding noise if something has got past the filters and jammed the impeller. Dishes come out dirty, detergent can be left undissolved in the dispenser, and some machines stop with a circulation or heating fault code. Leaks from the pump seal show up as water in the base tray. Check the filters and impeller for broken glass or seeds before condemning the pump.

Changing the wash pump

Switch off at the wall and turn off the water. Remove the filters and soak up water left in the sump. Most pumps are reached by tipping the dishwasher back or removing the base panel. Photograph the hoses and wiring connectors, then release the pump from the sump. Fit new seals if your parts list calls for them, and run a full program to check for leaks and normal spraying.

Questions about this part

What does the 2.8kW rating mean?

It's the rating in our stock description for this pump. Some dishwasher pumps have a built-in heater, which would explain a figure that high, but our records don't confirm it. Match the part number on your old pump to be sure.
