Cary My dishwasher is a Kenmore model 665.17609301. Everything seems to work fine, including the water pump and cycling. But it makes a horrendous growling sound when washing. If I need a motor, it seems there are several options? "motor pump", "Pump and Motor Assembly" and just "Motor". Which do I need? Since pump appears to work fine.
