How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6039091 / W11032770 Dishwasher Pump And Motor Assembly

Purchased the drain hose, motor seal and pump and replaced the parts. Watched videos on YouTube. 

After watching several youtube videos, I was able to replace the circulation pump motor fairly easily. I bought this Kenmore Elite in 2015 and in 2018, the same failure occurred. It cost me $429 to have the $500 dishwasher repaired and now, after less than 2 years later, it failed again. So this is it's third pump motor in 5 years. When it works, it works really well and so now, it works again and I was able to fix it myself and save a couple of hundred dollars on repairs. 

I replaced the wash pump. 

I watched your video and it helped me complete the repair step by step. Everything was smooth and now the washer is working perfectly again! Thanks!

I could hear the water going in and initially thought it was the outlets on the washer arm blocked, but no. Then I thought it could be the water inlet reducing the pressure, nope. If I ran an hour cycle the dishwashing powder would dissolve, in reality it was probably falling to the bottom and getting dissolved in the water there and not actually cleaning the dishes. I ended up looking at the cost of a cheap dishwasher versus a motor. Appliance Parts Pros were cheaper and quicker than Amazon even! I took my old motor apart (screwed off the top black bit) and found the washer at the bottom was oval and not round. Bought this motor and awesome! It's been running now only 4 days but with a family of 6, it's going great! My pump I took off was PN W10816492, I got W10885542 (I think) and it's perfect.

I looked at the print on your website. Found the correct part and ordered it from appliance parts pros.
