Just picked this up & just found leaking at pump underneath. Unsure so I purchased Drain & Wash Impeller Kit (675806). Began to pre-disassemble and found broken shards of glass all over under pump base. Do I need to replace pump gasket as well (717000). If so, is this centering tool mandatory?

ROBORO1972 for Model Number Whirlpool Quiet Plus 940 Series DU940QWDZ4

Answer Hello roboro1972. If the gasket is not leaking, you will not need to replace the gasket. You need to check and see where the water is leaking from and replace the parts that are leaking. The centering tool is used for the chopper and is needed for proper install.

My dishwasher has a slight water leak. I thought it was a loose outlet fitting but on closer inspection, three of the vibration isolators on the motor mounts are wet and have occasional drips to the floor and ultimately to the basement. Is the motor gasket the likely suspect? If so, are there other parts that need to be replaced at the same time? What is the procedure for this project? Is there a repair manual available? Thanks, Dick

Richard for Model Number 665-1581592

Answer Richard, There are a couple of things to check, if you haven't yet. Make sure there is at least 1/4 inch clearance between the bottom of the motor assembly and the floor. check and tighten the four mounting supports 3367197 so the pump seal tightens and may stop the leak. We could supply a basic service manual from the manufacturer, but We'd need a proper email address, and for your specific model number, you'd need to contact Sears/Kenmore Service and purchase a manual from them. Good Luck and Thanks

My Kitchenaid dishwasher is leaking at the tub/motor assembly seal. I have purchased a replacement gasket. Is there a specific orientation of the gasket (does the 2" part of the gasket without ridges/bumps align with the drain hose?)? How is the plastic white ring installed? Over the gasket once the gasket is seated on the motor assembly? Thanks for any help. Also the soap dispenser has stopped opening during the main wash. Is there a reasonably easy fix for that? The dishwasher is probably 10+ years old. Should I just replace it?

Mary for Model Number KUDI230B0

Answer Hi Mary. The ribbed side of the motor gasket faces the motor housing face up. Match the notches under the gasket to the underside of the motor as well. Once the motor gasket is in place, then the white ring slides in from the bottom side in the circumference of the inner groove locking the 2-into place. Use some liquid dishwasher soap to help slide it on the tub (but very sparingly). Tub seal part # 717000. Thank You.

Trying to replace motor gasket, but it won't seat. The gasket keeps popping up when I try to press it in place?

Dave for Model Number 6651576580

Answer Hello Dave. You will need to install the gasket 717000 onto the pump housing first. Then install the pump housing into the main tub. You may need to use a light coat of cooking oil to help you install the gasket. Hope this helps.

How involved is replacing this part? I have water leaking from the tub on top of the motor. I am pretty mechanically minded - but I would rather look at a new machine if this is a full day project. Are there instructions on how to install this part?

Scott T. for Model Number KUDI24SEAL1 Kitchen Aid

Answer Hi Scott. Remove power. This may take up to a couple of hours. But it is really a remove, clean and reassemble Issue. First remove the rack end clips. Remove the racks. Then remove the water manifold. Gather 1-dozen towels or a wet vac. Take off the lower kick plate. Unhook all electrical components connected to the tub. Remove the pump motor off the side of the sump. Remove the drain hose. Lift the sump assembly from the top of the tub . Then clean the tub. Reinstall the sump squarely but firmly. Then clean and hook up all devices taken apart to reconnect. Best of luck. Thank you.

Dishwasher fills with water and drains, but the upper and lower arms will not move, and no water comes out of them.
