Lets not forget about the 1995 and later GE washers. Also, what type of pumps did whirlpool dishwashers use? Did they use centrifugal or turbine pumps? |

I noticed later tall tub dishwashers by whirlpool starting in 2000 had a dual pump system. What style of pump setup is this? |

I believe the hydrowaves had vortex pumps. Please correct me if I'm wrong. |

Some of whirlpool's dishwasher pumps are vertically mounted, while others are horizontally mounted. Do the whirlpool tall tubs have centrifugal or turbine pumps? This includes the point voyager and wash right designs. |

The pump in my Hoover portable spindrier machine. I don't know but the pump in this washer is awful. The washer section and spin tub do their thing, but the pump won't pump for some reason so I can't use the machine. What do I do to remedy this? Thanks |

I took one apart many years ago, and pump's housing and impeller reminded me immediately of a blender blade. They seize up from mineral and detergent residue. Just a few few years back, when a newer machine's pump failed, I simply rerouted the drain hose from the back of the machine to the bottom, under the wheels, and now drain by gravity.
The nice thing about the 'Oovah is that the water stays in the wash tub even with the hose on the floor, as long as your valve switch is still working. The spinner drain remains open but that's okay. Mine is in the basement so the hose drains right into the gutter then the sump. In my world, that's A FIX, (smile), not to mention a smashing success :'D |
