Do-It-Yourself Story

So, I almost replaced the washer - KitchenAid Model KUYDP02CRBL1. Over the years, with the help of AppliancePartsPros.com, I've been able to keep it working. Our dishwasher no longer left the dishes clean. Upon further investigation, we noticed that the machine would start by pulling water, etc but after a while, it would go into a drain mode, then turn off. We never heard it actually circulating water and confirming the same other than the pooled water at the bottom of the washer. At one point, there was a 'blinking' clean light indicator. After doing the resets and restarting the problem continued. With some research, the most likely cause was the circulation motor. While I was at it, I also replaced the dishwasher Food Chopper. It was super easy, I had the job done in about an hour. We tested the unit and whala the machine was working exactly as it should.
