Do-It-Yourself Story

I replaced the pump. I ruined the old motor after I replaced the pump to see what was the problem. I found that water had passed the seal and rusted the motor shaft and water got into the bearing and caused the noise. I don't think I could have replaced the bearing without damaging the shaft and motor. I would have wasted money on the bearing and seal and ending buying the motor. The motor was very simple to replace once I got the washer out to work on it. It took about 5 minutes to replace the pump. 45 minutes to remove and reinstall the dishwasher. The pump I purchased was a perfect fit and the washer runs like new.
