How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP5650272 / W10537869 Diverter Motor

Ordered a new diverter valve and replaced the old one. 

Thought about just ordering up the diverter motor but realized there is a shaft running up through the sump with a rubber seal. Could not find just the seal to replace, so ordered up the sump and diverter. Followed the video instructions (excellent resource), no leaks. Thanks Appliance Parts Pros! 

Woke up one day to a wet carpet in front of the dishwasher figuring someone had spilled something. Nope. Figured out the diverter motor was leaking. Bought the diverter, sump and replacement gasket which was recommended in the docs and replaced it. Repair was straight forward. The hardest part was pulling out the dishwasher! 

Replaced sump and diverter motor, perfect fit and fixed the leak. 

Basically an easy repair. Note to others who might have the same model: WDF760SADM0, There are differences in the tub which require removal of two additional lines coming out of the diverter, but not difficult. Additionally, the seal on the main motor to the sump was integral with the motor, and did have to be removed at the same time as the motor when disassembling. After disassembling I attempted to remove the seal from the motor, but it was firmly glued on. other than that the video was accurate. 

After some searching, I learned that it's common to have leaks where the diverter motor shaft runs through a bushing in the sump. That sure looked like what was happening in my case. It's too bad you can't just replace the bushing, but there doesn't seem to be any easy way to do that. It's also hard to know whether the failure is due to wear on the bushing or on the shaft, so I decided to go ahead and replace both. I haven't done this sort of repair before, but the AppliancePartsPros video was extremely helpful. From start to finish took me three hours, although some of that time was spent fixing unrelated problems like deposits in the water supply line. 

Using the information from AppliancePartsPros.com, I was able figure out a couple likely sources of the leak. Further, the repair videos showed enough detail that I thought I might be able to handle this repair, though I am not typically the kind of person to take on a repair like this! The parts arrived promptly, and the videos took me through each step of the repair, even providing important reminders and tips throughout. Repair required replacing the diverter motor and afterward, no more leaks! The repair did not require replacing the sump, and AppliancePartsPros.com said they will allow me to return that part since I had not used it. THANKS for great support through this repair! 

Replaced pumps and diverter motor. 

Purchased sump, diverter motor, and clamp. Leaking ended up being from the diverter motor. Took approx. 2 hours. Followed excellent video on your web site. Clamp suggestion when ordering was spot on and saved running to the hardware store to find! Not hard to install if you follow the steps.
