How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6024038 / WPW10757217 Dishwasher Circulation Pump Motor

The video on the website was very accurate. I was able to follow it step by step and do the repair without problems. It was very helpful to know the size of the socket for the nut I had to unscrew. The repair was a success the dishwasher now runs quietly. 

Replaced the circulation motor. I watched the repair video and did what it said. Dishwasher works fine now. It took about an hour or hour and a half after all was said and done. 

Replace pump with new...extremely easy! 

After some research I replaced the circulation motor. Thanks to the representative I spoke with he was very helpful and the video in the parts look up section was also very helpful. I ordered the part at a great price and it was shipped the same day and I received it the following day. The part was the exact part needed for my repair. 

Replaced 

It was a pretty simple plug & play replacement, Hardest part was disconnecting the dishwasher to pull it out of the cabinet to get to the underside. A beginner can do it. I spent less than $125 on motor/pump versus buying a new dishwasher for over a $1,200...a simple ROI decision for about an 1 hour of my time. 

Replaced circulation motor,and cleaned the chopper. Followed directions online. The biggest effort is removing and reinstalling the dishwasher. This can be a real chore. Wear gloves or you will get cut on the metal dishwasher frame (very sharp edges). Motor was difficult to remove. Just didn't want to come out. Took 10 to 15 minutes of working at it. New one went in really easily. Getting at the chopper is not a problem. The supply tube was snapped to the interior in at two places and required no tools for complete removal. Lower spray arm removal was tricky. Be careful when reinstalling, as it is easy to damage threads in spray arm. Chopper area was filled with toothpicks, cherry pits, glass shards and other debris. Took 20 minutes to thoroughly clean. Runs much better now. I am sure water flow was greatly restricted. No motor noise now. Just water cleaning 

I ordered the circulation motor and it's fixed, Thanks for all your help as far as the tips listed for suggestions for the repair. 

Replaced the pump-twice. You might tell your readers to be careful to make sure the old pump AND old gasket comes out. I had two gaskets in there and it leaked and had to do it again. 

In a previous attempt to fix the problem, I had (prompted by the informational videos on this site) accessed and cleaned out the chopper assembly from the interior of the dishwasher. I removed some debris, but this didn't help the problem. I finally (again following the helpful videos on this site) removed the dishwasher completely and inspected the motor. I noticed a small pile of metal dust and a sand-like substance under the motor. From the reviews on this site and other sources, I concluded that it was the motor bearings that had failed and were causing the loud grinding noise. An online chat with one of the tech support staff on this site helped to confirm this theory and answered some other questions. I ordered a new motor and chopper (which had a broken inner seal and therefore wasn't seating securely), which arrived right on schedule. Replacing the motor went pretty smoothly, although I had some difficulty installing the new motor due to the tight fit and stiff seals. The dishwasher now runs much quieter and I haven't seen any evidence of leaks or other problems. Success!
