Do-It-Yourself Story

Apparently the "official" way to make this repair is to replace the sump. I was able to do this in about 2 hours using the video on APP. I also replaced the diverter motor itself which in hindsight was probably unnecessary. There are supposedly a couple other ways to fix the leaking diverter seal including removing the seal and flipping it upside down (some were installed incorrectly from the factory) or just buying the seal and not the sump (sounds like about half the time this doesn't work). I just wanted it fixed so I replaced the whole sump. My one critique of the APP video is when reinstalling the discharge motor they show it flipped 180 degrees compared to my model. When I first reinstalled it and ran it the discharge motor was leaking. Then looked at pictures I took during disassembly realized it and flipped it and no issues. Parts came within 2 days in excellent packaging.
