There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Once you figure out this was the part you need, you are IN FOR IT. The first time you replace this part, it is tricky beyond belief and literally took us HOURS to figure out. There are several videos online for how to replace it, but these are pros who have done this replacement before. It is VERY easy to place this piece wrong!!
There is a tiny 4 pronged black wheel inside the housing. The 4 white prongs of this replacement must seat fully around the 4 openings in the black wheel. It is VERY easy to catch only the top 2 prongs instead of centering it, and then put it together again. If you do that, it will fly apart again, and smash your new part to bits immediately.
Drain and clean the area entirely before starting, or it will be even harder.
THE TRICK: Using a pair of LONG thin pliers or wrench, compress the grated wheel down on the springs as far as it will go, and insert pliers between the blade and the wheel into the dishwasher housing groove (note that there are 2 flat sides to the large wheel, to fit into the housing slots. You will scratch up your housing if you do not line up these flat sides).
Getting the pliers out without unseating it isn't easy either, you have to push back on the wheel to get it to release (for us, this was a 2 man job, as you teeter on the open door with 1 hand bracing yourself from falling over).
Once in place, TEST that it's FULLY seated by rolling your fingers around the white nubs to make sure you CENTERED it on the shaft. If they aren't perfectly seated, but centered, use a tiny screwdriver to nudge the white nubs into place.
We only caught the top 2 edges of the shaft about 15 times before FINALLY getting the nubs seated around the shaft. If we thought we were done, which takes less than a second on most of the videos, we would have reassembled, and our new wheel would have been ground to bits. Those videos are made by pros, and they do this part so fast, without checking for seating, that they could easily have messed the machine they were working on up themselves.
If you only catch the top 2 prongs, rotation isn't going to move the nubs onto the shaft, it will destroy it, and maybe take your pump out with it. That's what I think happened with some of the people who complained about this part. We almost did that ourselves... til we saw the photos of the ground bits on a review here, and realized what would happen if we reassembled the cover without the grinder properly seated on the shaft.
This took hours for 2 people to do, of course because we had never done it before. I'm sure a 2nd time, it would be easier.... but lets hope that isn't for years and years. Gaaah.
Amazon is remarkable, we got this part in 1 day, before we lost track of all the parts and screws we took apart. The good news is, our dishwasher seems to run BETTER than it was when new! So happy!!
Try not to get frustrated. It can be done, just make sure you have this part SEATED properly before putting it back together again, something no install video adequately shows, yet is the hardest trick of all. I started to wonder if they blew through that intentionally, without checking or showing anyone how to check, to get you to call a repairman when it broke again, because if you do not seat it correctly, it absolutely will break again. Good luck!!
On the surface, they look similar. The screen on the Whirlpool model has slightly larger holes spaced more closely together, which implies to me that it's less likely to get clogged and will let water flow a bit easier than the cheaper version. The screen on the Whirlpool is magnetic, where the knock-off screen is not--but that doesn't mean much as stainless steel can be magnetic and still have good corrosion resistance. The springs, meanwhile, are the opposite, with the knock-off more magnetic than the only slightly magnetic Whirlpool. Again, this may not mean anything to the long-term effectiveness of the part, but some people have complained in the reviews that the spring on this knock off rusted away.
While the initial edge went to the Whirlpool, I was less impressed when I turned the choppers over. On the Whirlpool replacement, the fingers that connect to the motor were rounded over and looked almost a bit melted (see photo). The fingers on the knock-off were cleanly formed. Regardless, the Whirlpool installed fine and seems to be working. We'll see if it the fingers make any difference in daily use over time, and I'll update my review if the Whirlpool decides to stop working before I do.
Installation wasn't difficult, but definitely take advantage of the various "install Whirlpool/ KitchinAid/ Maytag chopper" videos on YouTube. The one I watched suggested using an 11/16" wrench to hold the blades away from the screen during installation, and it made all the difference between a quick install and a nightmare.
All in all, an affordable way to save a lot of money over a service visit for a relatively simple repair.

The screen on the Whirlpool is magnetic, where the knock-off screen is not--but that doesn't mean much as stainless steel can be magnetic and still have good corrosion resistance. The springs, meanwhile, are the opposite, with the knock-off more magnetic than the only slightly magnetic Whirlpool. Again, this may not mean anything to the long-term effectiveness of the part, but some people have complained in the reviews that the spring on this knock off rusted away.
While the initial edge went to the Whirlpool, I was less impressed when I turned the choppers over. On the Whirlpool replacement, the fingers that connect to the motor were rounded over and looked almost a bit melted (see photo). The fingers on the knock-off were cleanly formed. Regardless, the Whirlpool installed fine and seems to be working. We'll see if it the fingers make any difference in daily use over time, and I'll update my review if the Whirlpool decides to stop working before I do.
Installation wasn't difficult, but definitely take advantage of the various "install Whirlpool/ KitchinAid/ Maytag chopper" videos on YouTube. The one I watched suggested using an 11/16" wrench to hold the blades away from the screen during installation, and it made all the difference between a quick install and a nightmare.
All in all, an affordable way to save a lot of money over a service visit for a relatively simple repair.
