David for Model Number Maytag My chopper assembly clogs regularly, usually about once every two months. I am not sure if the chopper is even doing any spinning. Even if the chopper spins, I am skeptical that the crap that accumulates would even make it through the screen. The blade does not wipe the screen like a car wiper blade does. Seems like a bad design. Anyway, I have gotten good at disassembly and cleaning. Five minutes. Next time I clean it, is there a way to see if the impeller is spinning (the part that drives the chopper)? Hard to determine this when the repair is in progress. When the screen is clean, the dishes are clean. I will bet there are a lot of dirty dishes out there because of this.
Answer David, Make sure the chopper assembly only turns with the impeller and not freely, as it could be stripped out. If it does turn freely you might try replacing it. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, March 11, 2024
