Whirlpool WPW10316267 Dishwasher Standpipe

The Whirlpool WPW10316267 Dishwasher Standpipe is a significant, yet comparatively tiny component within your dishwasher. It serves as a controlled channel for draining excess water during the washing process. Consider it a safety valve that prevents overflows and possible water damage. This is how it works. As the dishwasher fills and runs, the water level rises. When extra water reaches a certain point, it is channeled via the standpipe and exits the dishwasher via a drain line that links to the underside of the standpipe. This guarantees that the water level remains in the ideal range for effective cleaning without overflowing.The Whirlpool WPW10316267 Dishwasher Standpipe is designed primarily for Whirlpool dishwashers, although it may also work with some Kenmore, Amana, and Maytag machines.
