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?

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.
