How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6023351 / WPW10605058 Circulation Pump And Motor (Dishwasher)

Replaced the sump which included the diverter and the motor. if you replace the diverter, you have to replace the sump 

Dishwasher is a little over 3 years old. Hindsight- wasn't washing as well as it should. Started it using Smart Wash as usual. Heard a loud noise, thinking it was something inside, I paused, opened the door, checked and didn't find anything wrong. Resumed wash (no more noise), opened door at the end of the cycle. Steam was coming out, but dishes were dirty. So my assessment was: circuit board was ok (because it cycled properly). Water came in and was pumped out. That left the wash pump (3 years old). Went online, researched, ordered part. Took a chance my troubleshooting was correct. It was, and paying the extra, overnight charge was worth it. I guess the noise I heard was the pump taking a dump. The $$ was small compared to a new machine. 

After some research, I found that the sump and pump assembly would address the issue. I could have tried a few other items first, but did not want my dishwasher to be down longer than it was. I ordered and replaced this assembly. I have a Whirlpool gold series that is less than 2 years old as on Jan 2017. I had to reuse the connection to the upper level sprayer tubes as the one that came with did not fit. It was difficult to keep the assembly seated in order to close the 3 clips. It worked and my dishwasher is no longer leaking. 

Bought a new pump and motor kit from Appliance Parts. My husband fought putting it in but we finally got it in and the dishwasher is working great, NO LEAKS. We saved ourselves approximately $275 by doing it ourselves -vs- paying a repairman. 

I replaced the pump motor assembly. 

My husband replaced the moter and pump 

Ordered a new pump/motor assembly. Wasn't too difficult to install and works like new again. 

I ordered the motor assembly and installed it using one of AppliancePartsPros Youtube videos. 

Replaced pump and motor. 

Replaced entire pump and motor unit. The repair was straightforward, it was extremely difficult to get the sump seated in the bottom of the washer. After about an hour of struggling with it I had to get a second person to help. If that had gone as smoothly as in the video I would have been done in under 30 minutes. Aldo, the video showed laying the washer on its back to work on it, that requires disconnecting all the hoses and wires from the unit. I worked on it laying the washer on its front, which meant the video was 180 degrees off from what I was doing. This was challenging at times. I numbered all of the electrical connections before I disconnected them which gave me added confidence that I put them back correctly.
