How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP5971447 / W10789434 Clamp

Turn off the breaker. Pulled it out, flipped it over, and I could see the leak stains through the damper. Removed the damper. The clamp was the original from the factory, the crimp type. I had to put a small flat-tip screwdriver and wiggle it to expand. Then the motor could be moved out, after disconnecting the power to it. The seal could be pulled out after this. Reversed the process, once AppliancePartsPros sent the parts in two days flat. Great service!! 

Replaced sump that has new diverter motor shaft seal installed. Water leak stopped! 

Ordered a new one and installed it. 

These parts fixed the leak for 4 cycles so far. 

Ordered replacement sump and new hose clamps. Followed the video for sump replacement on AppliancePartsPros.com to remove old sump and install replacement parts. Video provided all of the guidance needed for me to do this repair myself. Leak was gone after repair. 

Replaced sump, gromit seal is not replaceable, need to install new sump with factory seal installed. Two new clamps, existing clamps are a one time use. Went ahead and replaced motor seal just because figured I went to trouble of taking apart . Fired it up, and it worked with no leaks. 

I searched the web to diagnose my problem and found AppliancePartsPros.Com. Their great How To video gave me the confidence to make the repair myself, so I ordered the parts and replaced the leaking sump. Hey presto - no more leaks! 

Everything went very smooth thank to your detail video. My dishwasher is back to work. Thank You. Ivonne 

Replaced sump. Video provided with sump description was VERY helpful. Repair completed, no leaks. Thanks. George 

Youtube. We could find the part anywhere and had already ordered a new dishwasher. These guys had it and we paid for 2 day shipping and it was here the next day. Always nice when a company exceeds expectations.
