John for Model Number Whirlpool DU943PWKT0 Our 11 year old dishwasher will not drain, and was making a high pitched squeal before it failed. Now when you select cancel/drain, it makes a humming and clicking noise and fails to drain. If we purchase the pump/motor assembly does it include the drain pump/motor, or is the drain assembly sold as a separate component? What other parts (seals, etc.) do we need to purchase if we purchase the pump/motor assembly to complete the repair job?
Answer Hello John, The pump and motor assembly (AP5306182) is both the circulation pump and the drain pump. Replacing it will cure the issue. It comes with the gasket that goes around it and seals it to the tub. It should be lubricated around the outer edge with liquid soap to prevent damage during its' installation. Read More...
