Frequently Asked Questions
Which dishwasher models is this drain pump confirmed to fit?
Part number ABQ73503002 is a genuine LG OEM component compatible with LG and Kenmore Elite dishwashers. Before ordering, cross-reference your dishwasher's model number against LG's parts database or the label inside the door — the part number on your existing pump should match ABQ73503002 for a confirmed fit.
What symptoms indicate the drain pump has failed and needs replacing?
Standing water remaining in the tub after a completed cycle is the clearest sign. You may also hear a humming sound during the drain cycle without actual water movement, or the dishwasher may display a drain error code. Confirming the pump is the failure point — rather than a blocked drain hose or filter — before ordering saves a wasted replacement.
Is this a straightforward DIY replacement, or does it require a technician?
Dishwasher drain pump replacement is generally a moderately involved DIY job — it requires pulling the dishwasher out from the cabinet, tilting or laying it on its side to access the pump housing, and disconnecting electrical connectors and hoses. Comfortable DIYers with basic appliance repair experience can complete it. If unfamiliar with appliance disassembly, a service call is the lower-risk path.
Does this pump come with mounting hardware or a wiring harness?
OEM replacement pumps typically include the pump assembly itself. Mounting hardware and wiring connectors are usually reused from the original installation. Confirm what's included in the specific listing before ordering if your existing hardware is damaged.
Why choose a genuine OEM part over an aftermarket equivalent?
Genuine LG OEM parts are manufactured to the original specifications — motor windings, impeller geometry, and seal tolerances match what the dishwasher was designed around. Aftermarket parts vary widely in quality, and a mismatched pump can produce noise, reduced drainage performance, or premature failure.
