Pam for Model Number Kenmore Elite Ultra Wash Dishwasher 66577979K702 These are follow-up questions to a question a few days ago about our dishwasher. Prior to that, we had replaced the inlet valve because it seemed there wasn't any water running into the dishwasher. The dishwasher does fill and drain but there is just a humming sound and no water spraying during the wash cycle. We have cleaned the filters inside the dishwasher and soaked the spray arms in vinegar to get rid of any sediment. Should we be looking at just the chopper assembly or is this more likely a motor issue? If so, is this worth repairing or should we replace the dishwasher? When we take the chopper assembly out from the bottom, how do we make sure everything seals so we don't have a leak problem? Thank you
Answer Hello Pam, If the motor is making a humming sound, you most likely have a motor WPW10056309 issue. This would be worth the repair if there are no other issues with the unit. You should be able to test the motor using the tech sheet from behind the kick panel. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, February 10, 2016
