Whirlpool W11246682 Food Chopper Assembly for Dishwasher

The Whirlpool W11246682 Dishwasher Food Chopper Assembly is designed to slice food particles into smaller pieces to prevent clogging in the drain system. When water flows through the dishwasher, food debris is directed toward the chopper, where a rotating blade cuts it down into finer particles. This process helps maintain clear drainage and allows for steady water circulation. By keeping the drain unobstructed, the dishwasher can clean dishes effectively without interruptions. Additionally, the chopper assembly helps reduce food buildup that may lead to odors during the wash cycle. Its operation contributes to the overall cleaning performance of the dishwasher.
