Doug W. for Model Number KUDI01ILBS2 I have just received by circulation motor and began to unhook the old motor. After unplugging wires and removing the one bolt from the housing and twisting the motor to loosen, it does not come out. Should the motor just back out when loose or is there something I am missing. Do I need to pull the entire assembly out through the inside of the dishwasher or is it just stuck and needs to be pulled more firmly. I do not want to break anything. Thanks for your help.
Answer Hello Doug, There are three white removable tabs that retain the pump and motor assembly to the bottom of the tub. One is front right, one is almost centered on the left, and one is in the rear. If you look at the parts explosion on page 9, (pump and motor page), it is item number 15, part number WPW10300599. When you look at the picture we have posted of the part, (not the drawing), when you click on the part, the picture shows the part upside down. The black rubber "grips" go up against the bottom of the tub. When you pull these three sump tabs out, the motor can be lifted out from inside the tub. Read More...
