Banshee06 for Model Number 665.15899100 I removed the sump and motor assembly on my dishwasher to clean out the sump and replace the impeller. I installed the motor back in the sump and put everything back together. I reinstalled the dishwasher and started a wash cycle - as the tub was filling water started leaking from the bottom of the motor housing vicinity the volute / motor / sump clamp. I pulled the dishwasher back out and pulled the motor back out of the sump, checked the seal on the volute and all seemed fine. While inspecting the motor/volute assembly I found that the volute moves vertically (up and down) on the shaft approximately a few millimeters between the motor and the impeller. Is this normal? If not could it be the cause of the water leakage? It seems like the motor seats well when re-installed. I did not have water leakage before I removed and re-installed the motor. Thanks, Banshee06
Answer Banshee, It sounds like you did everything right. You did check and make sure the "arrows" on the volute and the sump were aligned before you tightenned everything up. That assembly will leak if they aren't aligned. Good Luck and Thanks Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, August 29, 2011
