How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP5650272 / W10537869 Diverter Motor

Ordered a new one, once delivered it took about 45 minutes to complete the job (also did some cleaning of the whole area). Dishwasher is working properly. 

Identified where the water was dripping, looked at a diagram of dishwasher and reviewed the part I thought was the issue. Ordered the part, watched the video on how to replace which helped a lot. When part arrived took dishwasher apart only to discover another part had a broken rubber ring. Ordered that part, both part arrived in just days of ordering, installed both parts and working great! 

Ordered the appropriate diverter motor, opened breaker, disconnected power, water and drain from dishwasher. The video was very helpful, showing how to disconnect the internal parts. Pulled dishwasher out of cabinet, laid it on its face then removed and replaced the diverter motor. I then reinstalled the dishwasher and tested. The entire process took just under 2 hours. No leaks and no groaning....... 

Replaced diverter and motor they came together. 

Looked through the comments and found a similar story. The dishwasher was leaking and I could see it dripping from the diverter motor. The leak means either I need to replace the diverter motor, the sump pump, or I need to replace both. I opted to try just replacing the diverter motor and no more leaks. Video instructions were great. 

Replaced sump seal. Water dripping down diverter stem. This seal is part of sump seal. Since you have to remove all parts from seal, replaced all rubber seals that I could. Everything was aged, so why not while your under unit anyway. Replaced diverter motor also since water was dripping onto it. I used o ring grease instead of water, to help installing. WATCH the videos!!! Step by step and very helpful. They show a few tricks that will aid in the install. 

I used the diagrams on appliancepartspros.com to identify the part at the location of the leak, which turned out to be the diverter motor. I watched the video on the product page that describes that part. Based on the video it seemed like a repair that I could do myself, so I ordered the part. Several days later the part arrived and my son and I were able to perform the same steps described in the video and, voila, the leak is gone! My dishwasher is slightly different than the one in the video but close enough that the steps were pretty much the same. The repair took us about an hour, but saved me hundreds of dollars. 

Replaced the sump housing, circulation pump seal and water supply diverter. 

Changed out the sump which the seals are already installed in. I also changed out the diverter motor , not wanting to chance the shaft being worn. Running perfect again 

With the support and assistance from an ApplicancePartsPros.com professional, we were able to determine the problem was my diverter motor. I was able to easily follow the video provided and replaced my diverter motor.
