A00126401 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Dishwasher Drain Pump Motor
The A00126401 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM drain pump motor assembly for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, Tappan, and Kenmore dishwashers. At the end of each wash cycle, this pump is what actually pushes the used wash water out of the tub and through the drain hose, clearing the way for the next fill. An internal impeller spins to create that flow, drawing water in and forcing it out through the drain line.
Rated 120V, 60Hz, 35W, 0.8A, 3600RPM, with 1/4" male terminals, this assembly includes the pump motor, impeller, and seal. Common causes of failure include clogs from food particles or debris interfering with the impeller, worn or damaged impeller blades, and electrical failure of the motor itself. A failing drain pump typically shows up as water not draining from the dishwasher, water pooling at the bottom of the tub after a cycle, a grinding or humming noise from the pump area, or the dishwasher refusing to start a new cycle because it detects standing water left over from the last one. It directly replaces AP5690431, 154736201, 3015405, 5304492415, PS8689824, DW26401, PD00000922, and EAP2363535.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher Before Starting — Rule Out A Simple Clog First Before replacing the pump, check the drain hose and the sump screen at the bottom of the tub for a clog — food debris and buildup in the hose can produce identical "won't drain" symptoms to a failed pump, and clearing a clog costs nothing but a few minutes. One customer replaced the pump entirely, still had no drainage, and only afterward discovered the actual cause was a clogged drain hose; disconnecting and running a cycle without the hose attached can help confirm whether the pump itself is pushing water. Once you've confirmed the pump needs replacing, disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and pull the dishwasher out from under the counter for access to the underside — removing the two screws securing it to the counter first. Have a drain pan or towels ready for residual water. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the two wire connectors from the old pump, remove the three screws securing it in place, and disconnect the hose connections, then pull the old pump free. Install the new A00126401 in the same position, reconnect the hose connections, and reconnect the two wire connectors. Secure the pump with its three mounting screws. Slide the dishwasher back into place and secure it to the counter, restore power, and run a full test cycle to confirm normal draining with no leaks or unusual noise. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, flat-blade screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, drain pan, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dishwasher won't drain. How do I know if it's actually the pump and not something simpler?
Check the drain hose and the sump screen at the bottom of the tub for a clog first — this is a genuinely common cause of "won't drain" symptoms and costs nothing to rule out. If the hose and screen are clear and the pump still won't run, test the pump motor with a multimeter for continuity. If there's no continuity, or the pump is getting power but still won't run, replacement is the correct fix.
I already replaced the pump and it's still not draining. What should I check next?
This has happened to real customers, and the cause was ultimately a clogged drain hose rather than the pump itself. If replacing the pump didn't solve the drainage problem, disconnect the drain hose and run a test cycle to see whether water is being pushed out at all — if it is, the hose downstream is the likely culprit and worth snaking out or replacing.
Does this kit include the check valve flapper?
This varies by supplier batch — this assembly reliably includes the pump motor, impeller, and seal, but flapper inclusion isn't consistent across all sources. Inspect your old pump's flapper for wear or damage before installation, and contact our support team if you need to confirm whether a flapper is included with your specific order.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original motor speed, impeller design, and terminal configuration of the drain pump originally installed in your dishwasher.
