Replaced the drain pump kit, Part Number WD19X24829 (AP6802078). I read from another customer that they pulled their dishwasher out from the cabinet and laid it on it side, and I did not need to disconnect the drain hose or supply hose, just unplugged the unit. I was able to access the drain pump with no problem. Small issue with the existing pump, one of the hose clamps was crimped on, in order to remove the old part I had to use a screwdriver to pry open the clamp, which made it unusable for the new pump. The hose clamp that came with the new drain pump was quite large, but it worked. The actual replacement of the part took me about 30 minutes. I let it run a complete short cycle to ensure there were no leaks, and then pushed the dishwasher back into the cabinet. Getting the unit back into the cabinet and ensuring the insulation blanket didn't get bunched up took about 20 minutes.
