I've got a 10 year old dishwasher. It stopped getting dishes clean. I cleaned the food grinder for the first time and that seemed to fix this problem. Now I need to clean the grinder about once per week and it's always completely clogged. After I clean it, it works great for a few days. I suspect the pump needs to be repaired and was looking at this part: W10239405 Does that include a new food grinder? I would also need to replace this part because the flap valve stays open 8539167. So I'm looking at around $200. Do you think it's worth the money to fix a 10 year old 665.16483300 dishwasher or should I put the $200 toward a new one?

Steve for Model Number 665.16483300

Answer Hello Steve, Of course it is always the customers' decision whether to repair or replace. You have to realize that the remaining parts that will still not be new can fail at any time. They could also last for another 15 years with no problem, so it is kind of like rolling the dice. The chopper assembly (AP3039186) is most likely broken. The blade and the screen are made together so if yours separates when dis-assembled, this is definitely the issue. I would try this before replacing the entire pump and motor assembly.

Hello, I was not getting the top rack clean, so I tore apart the whole dishwasher and cleaned everything. This worked for about a month, now neither the top rack or bottom rack is getting clean. Where do I start? Does this indicate a bad motor, pump seal, water inlet valve? Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!

Kelsey for Model Number Whirlpool Model GU1200

Answer Kelsey, You will want to check to make sure that there is nothing clogged in the pump assembly. It sounds like the upper rack is not getting proper water to clean the upper rack. If the pump is clear of all debris then you would need to replace the circulation pump W10239404.

The pump motor has failed on my unit. I plan to order the complete pump housing/motor assembly. Are there any other parts I should also order to assure successful repair?

Joe for Model Number kuds01flss3

Answer Hello Joe, If the pump you are replacing is the circulation pump, it is well worth the money to order the complete assembly W10239405. The headaches involved with repeated teardowns and the parts that get damaged during the repeated process make the investment a sound one. There should be no other parts needed since it comes with the gasket and is ready to install. When putting the assembly in, lubricate the gasket with liquid soap and the installation will go much smoother.

While running my dishwasher, water flows out of the sprayer but it does not seem to be spraying up. It all just falls down, almost like there is not a whole lot of pressure. Since this is happening the top rack does not get washed. It is also more quiet since this has been happening. I was just wondering what part is not working properly. I have taken the dishwasher apart and cleaned out everything and this did not help at all.

Levi for Model Number 665.17539201

Answer Levi, You will want to make sure that the middle and upper spray arms are clean and do not have clogged holes. If this is clean and the pump assembly is clean with a good impeller, then you would need a new circulation pump.

I have just ordered the circulation pump and motor assembly. Will I have to remove the dishwasher unit from under the cabinet to install the new parts?

Steve for Model Number KUDK01ILBS6

Answer Hello Steve, Yes, you will have to remove the unit from its' installation unless you can reach the rear sump tab W10300599 and get it properly installed. This is one part you definitely do not want to come out since if it were to come out, water would go into the floor.

How to install the three (3) clips that hold the circulation pump and motor assembly

John A. for Model Number Kitchenaid #KUDIO1IL

Answer John, The three(3) sump tabs are inserted into the openings on the side of the sump( but you first have to make sure you have the sump aligned in the tub opening, there's a location "key" molded into the sump housing. The tabs are wedge shaped, and as you press them into the opening, they create tension and cause the pump seal to seat an seal to the tub. You need to press them in as tight and far as possible by hand, no tools needed.

Hello. I have a cherry pit lodged in the circulation pump assembly. I can see the pit and tried to fish it out with long tweezers but can't get ahold of it. How do I remove the cover so I can get at the debris? I removed the 3 top screws but still can't quite figure out how to remove the cover. Thanks for your help!

Bob S for Model Number Kenmore Ultra Wash Dishwasher Model 665.16263402

Answer Hello Bob. Once the lower spray arm is removed, you will twist the flume for the arm and relase the tab to remove it. Then remove the screws and lift out the cover on the unit.

My DW would not run a complet cycle and made a noise when it was trying to work.I took out the grinder blade and screen and cleaned it as it was clogged with lots of stuff. Once clean, the blade and screen appeared to be fine so I replaced it and put the machine back together.Now the machine will complete the washing cycle now but few if any of the dishes get clean. Is it possible that the pump motor is shot?

Mike L for Model Number KUDR01TJ

Answer Mike, The motor is OK, it's the impeller that may be "shot" . Before you replace anything, check and make sure the dishwasher drains properly and completely, The water level in the tub, when started, and after a 3 to 5 minute wash cycle, should be within 1/4 inch of the heater element,at the least. If alls OK, then replace the motor pump assembly W10239405
