Pump Gasket MFZ32863101

This is a pump gasket that is used on dishwashers. It is also known as the pump housing seal. This gasket fits around the outside of the pump and prevents water leakage between the pump housing and the filter housing. The pump is responsible for circulating and draining the water from the dishwasher. A new pump gasket may be needed if the original is cracked, broken, or damaged in any way. After normal use over time, the pump gasket can begin to get brittle, and then water leakage can occur. Signs that the pump gasket needs to be replaced are if the dishes are not being properly cleaned, if the dishwasher is not draining, if it’s noisy during use, or if it is leaking water onto the floor.This is a genuine LG part and is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually. This specific pump gasket is compatible with dishwashers that are manufactured by the LG brand.
