White-Westinghouse Dishwasher takes too long
If your White-Westinghouse dishwasher takes too long, the problem is often tied to weak water circulation, which can also show up as a dishwasher not washing properly or leaving dishes still dirty after the cycle. The most likely cause is a damaged wash impeller that cannot push enough water through the wash arm. Next, check the filter assembly, filter, screen filter, and strainer in the sump, since clogged filters restrict water flow and stretch out wash times. If those parts are clean and intact, the circulation pump may be failing. A bad circulation pump motor may stay silent or just make a humming noise after the dishwasher fills, and that means it may not be moving water effectively. In some models, you can replace the wash impeller by itself, but others require replacing the full pump and motor assembly. If your White-Westinghouse dishwasher cycle is too long or your dishwasher runs for hours, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement wash impeller, circulation pump, pump and motor assembly, filter, screen filter, or strainer that fits your machine.
01 - White-Westinghouse Dishwasher Wash Impeller
The wash impeller is a small plastic blade that forces water up through the wash arms. If the impeller is broken or is missing some of its fins, it might not generate enough pressure to force the water up through the wash arms. On most models, you can replace the wash impeller independently of the pump and motor assembly. Search for your model number to determine if your impeller is replaceable. If the impeller cannot be replaced separately, you will have to replace the entire pump and motor assembly.

02 - White-Westinghouse Dishwasher Filter Assembly
A dishwasher's filter assembly usually consists of both a course and a fine filter located in the sump. If one or both of these filters is clogged, you will get low water flow and poor washability. If the filters cannot be cleaned effectively or if they are damaged, they will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
03 - White-Westinghouse Dishwasher Filter
A dishwasher's filter assembly usually consists of both a course and a fine filter located in the sump. If one or both of these filters is clogged, you will get low water flow and poor washability. If the filters cannot be cleaned effectively or if they are damaged, they will need to be replaced.

A dishwasher will usually have both a course and a fine screen filter located in the sump. If one or both of these filters is clogged, you will get low water flow and poor washability. If the filters cannot be cleaned effectively or if they are damaged, they will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
05 - White-Westinghouse Dishwasher Strainer
Dishwashers will use a strainer located in the sump to catch food particles. If the strainer is clogged, you will get low water flow and poor washability. If the stainer cannot be cleaned effectively or is damaged, it will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
06 - White-Westinghouse Dishwasher Circulation Pump
The circulation pump uses a motor and impeller to force water up through the wash arms. If the circulation pump is defective, the dishes won’t be cleaned properly. If the motor isn’t making any noise or is just making a humming sound after the dishwasher has filled, the motor may be burned out. First, ensure that power is getting to the motor. Second, to ensure that the impeller can turn, check the pump housing for debris. If power is getting to the motor and the pump is clear of debris, the motor might need to be replaced. Be aware that the circulation pump may be challenging to replace, although many do-it-yourselfers ha...
