Kenmore / Sears Pump

DIY, changed motor and sump. Put a dab of valve lubricant on seal. Wet outer seal of sump to get it to seat in bottom of tub. Cleaned electrical connectors corroded by leak. Coated connectors with dielectric grease. Had to buy additional clamp. Two clamps came in the sump package but both fit the smaller hose only. Neither fit the large hose. I wish the correct clamps were included. Home improvement store clamp is a little too wide to fit between ridges in large hose. Read more

Diagnosed the problem. The pump motor needed to be replaced. Took model number and looked part up on Appliance Parts Pro site and found the exact part. Ordered part with next day delivery . Part arrived as scheduled. Simple installation. Works like new. Thanks. Read more

I reviewed the schematic and saw the Volute Seal, and Impeller Seal were the two that were closest my source of water. After watching the video about changing the Impeller/seal I removed the motor, impeller, and volute; I found that the impeller seal was the faulty one in my case. Since I'd ordered the volute and impeller seal kits (as I wasn't sure which it was) I installed both while I had it apart. Runs great, no water - simple to do. The seal changes took about 20 minutes. The only... Read more

I followed the video instructions that is on the website and was able to replace the motor easily and in 15 minutes maybe less. Read more

I paid $90 for a repairman fee to tell me I needed a motor. I submitted the same problem to you and you gave me the same advice for FREE. I ordered the unit from you . It came in promptly, It took me about 3 hours to replace and saved about a $300-$400.repair estimate. Thanks. Read more

Could not have went better. The girl in customer service verified all my parts prior to my ordering. I paid for next day shipping and they arrived on time. Exact replacement items for our Frigidaire dishwasher. Will give all of my future business to Appliance Parts Pros. One precaution...when manually entering my model number on the website, incorrect part numbers were displayed. Make sure you have their online chat representatives verify your parts and you will be good to go. Read more

I ordered the parts myself. A prominent appliance store in town told me it would be very difficult to get the parts needed. However, I found it to be relatively easy! After taking apart the washer (with a little help from Youtube). I made the repair myself, and now my wife can do the laundry! Read more

I drained the dishwasher by hand, disconnected power, water, and drain under the sink. I removed the screws holding the dishwasher in place. I located the pump with the online owners manual and removed it leaving the power connected. I put the machine on the rinse cycle and then hit cancel, the pump is supposed to come on, it didn't, I tried it twice, each time it would start if I manually started it spinning. So I ordered a new drain pump and reversed the removal procedure. Everything worked... Read more

• Will not drain

When I removed a bunch of very wet soaking towels at the end of a wash cycle, it was clear that the water was not draining properly. The washer also made a very loud noise during the water drain period. That was suspicious. I ordered the part, opened the washer, removed the old pump and faced with a nasty surprise. You may laugh at this, but there was a toothpick in the old drain pump! most of it was still there, and it seemed like the toothpick was stuck in the pump in such a position that it... Read more

I noticed the floor around the dishwasher was starting to get wet and warp the wooden floor. The chopper had gotten out of line and had cut a pinhole into the sump housing and the dishwasher was leaking badly. It was quite easy to repair. Just unhook the drain hose and the wire connectors, twist off the turbidity sensor and waste motor, pull out the shims and the whole assemple comes up and out. The hardest part was pulling the motor off of the assembly, since I wasn't sure if I needed to... Read more

I suspected the 'circulation pump' to be the culprit. I could not find a 'circulation pump' so I deduced via the picture schematics it must be the 'casing assembly, pump' I found on the website. I have heard there have been issues with the 'drain pump' so I also ordered the 'case assembly' on this site which is an odd name for the drain pump. Boxes came with just the part inside no instructions or other info. This was fine as I have been diy repairing things my entire life. I made sure... Read more

Checked the grinder/pump well at the bottom of the dishwasher and fished out some aluminum foil, wire twist ties, broken plastic forks, etc. That was fun but it didn't solve the problem. Purchased new pump & motor assembly and installed it as per Youtube video. It requires pulling out the dishwasher, disconnecting electric, hotwater, and drain lines, and then removing a bunch of clips and connectors. That was time consuming but basically easy ... except that seating the new assembly gasket... Read more

Replaced nut and then found we needed new pump. Read more
