I just wanted to thank you for this. I was a jenn-air/magic chef rep years ago but that was back when whirlpool/kitchen aid/Kenmore was its own and Frigidaire (or as used to say to Roy Knutson 'if you FrickenDare') was its own too. I used to be able to triple stack a kitchen aid when they were still porcelain - ask Jeff Warner he was my witness.
What problem did you have exactly? Our dishwasher top shelf is not getting clean. All filters/nozzles/spray arms accessible from inside are clean. I suspect water is not getting pumped up to top spray arm maybe?
Steve, You do a very good job on these repair videos. However, this repair is even easier by just replacing the motor in the housing. It just twists in/out like the drain motor. And like the drain motor, I wish the wash motor was available separately without the housing to save cost and waste. Please advise if the wash motor is available by itself. Thanks!
EXCELLENT video!!!! I just replaced my pump minutes ago. The video was EXTREMELY helpful. Machine working perfectly now. NO NEED to remove the diverter. Also, my 45 year old ChannelLock end nippers worked perfectly to close the clamp exactly like the other clamp on the new pump. THANKS MUCH for posting the fine video.
That motor you removed to reapply the tube and clamp. What is it called? I bought my dishwasher from a store that sells returns from big box stores. I’m about to replace the pump you’re replacing, when I realize that motor is missing
This is an excellent video! I was able to fix my pump with no problem. It's sad that this had to be fixed after barely a year old. It's very sad that they don't make appliances to last anymore. Again, excellent video and thank you very much
No one mention how poor the motor design was to use a cheap rubber bushing emersed in dirty, hot hard water (calcium), that wears out in months. For most it means a new washer, even the diy it's a big hassle + may have to do it again in
I step-by-step video. The only thing I would add is that instead of using a screwdriver to pry off rubber hose, which can result in bloody knuckles or some plastic snapping, just put the small screwdriver underneath the end of the clamp and push up and my old clamp released. Also, my dishwasher had a large piece of concrete bolted to the bottom, but I don’t see that on yours, however, I do see the two screw holes where mine is bolted into. Anybody know what that is for?
with a probability of 80% a diverter motor starts to flow there. so just change the pump is not worth it. you need to change everything in the collection.
That age of dishwasher typically did not have that ability. The owners manual offers this information: If Start/Resume or any status lights are blinking and the dishwasher will not run, close the door and push START/RESUME or press START/RESUME and close the door within 3 seconds. If the dishwasher still will not run, call service"
