Rumboogy for Model Number 665.16263400 I have a Kenmore dishwasher model that uses this motor. Each time the motor starts up there is a whining sound. This sound dissipates as the motor/pump spins up to full speed. It sounds normal once it is has been running for a 2-3 seconds or so. I tested the starting capacitor on the motor and it is within spec so that is not the problem. Is this an indication of the motor failing or the pump failing or something else like debris in the pump? Are there any videos on replacing these parts or taking the motor/pump assembly apart?
Answer Hello Rumboogy. Check and make sure nothing is inside the impeller assembly. If not, you will need to order and replace the motor assembly on the unit. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, May 30, 2013
