GE Dishwasher Drain Pump WG04F11284, Fixes Standing Water or Failure to Drain

The GE WG04F11284 Dishwasher Drain Pump uses a permanent-magnet synchronous motor to remove used wash water from the dishwasher sump during drain portions of the cycle. Midea and Danby OEM number 11001011001029 is a verified cross-brand equivalent — it is not a discontinued GE predecessor.

A seized, obstructed or electrically failed drain pump may contribute to standing water, humming without water movement, a drain error or a cycle stopping during the drain stage. Similar symptoms can also result from a blocked filter, obstructed sump, kinked drain hose, blocked sink connection, damaged wiring, failed check valve or a control problem. Confirm the drain path and electrical supply before ordering.

Is This the Right Part?

Confirm the complete dishwasher model number before ordering. For cross-brand applications, verify the electrical connector, inlet and outlet ports, and mounting interface before installing. Compatibility with one model does not guarantee fit on every listed model.

Common Symptoms

• Standing water remaining in the dishwasher tub after a cycle completes
• Dishwasher humming during the drain stage with little or no water movement
• Drain error code displayed on the control panel
• Cycle stopping during the drain stage and not resuming
• Unusual grinding or rattling sound from the pump area
• Foul odour from stagnant water left in the tub

Check Before Replacing

• Clean the dishwasher filter and sump — a blocked filter is a common cause of standing water that does not require a new pump
• Inspect the drain hose for kinks, clogs, or a high-loop installation issue
• Check the sink drain connection and garbage disposal inlet for blockage
• Verify the electrical connector and wiring to the pump for damage or corrosion

Installation Notes

1. Disconnect electrical power and shut off the water supply before servicing.
2. Photograph the wiring harness, hose routing, and pump mounting position.
3. Remove the lower spray arm and filter assembly to access the pump at the sump base.
4. Compare the replacement pump with the original — verify connector, ports, and mounting tabs.
5. Torque mounting screws to hand-tight only; over-tightening cracks the pump housing.
6. Run a short cycle after installation and confirm full drainage before reassembling.

Use a qualified technician when diagnosis or installation is outside your experience.
