Dave N December 30, 2012 for Model Number gsd4940z00ss Just replace the seal on the solinoid arm. Used the old push on nut. Still leaks . Does that mean the shaht is bad and will need a pump assembly. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Dave, You want to make sure that you got the seal seated in properly. When you install the seal you will want to pull out on the shaft and make sure that the seal is seated tightly. If this checks ok then you will need to replaced the pump assembly WD26X10013. Read More...

Lucas T. December 01, 2012 for Model Number Sears Kenmore model # 665.16369301 My dishwasher fills with water and then does nothing else (just hums). When I press cancel the water drains out. Is it a mechanical or electronical issue?
1 Answer Hello Lucas, This sounds like there is is most likely a chip of broken glass in the pump impeller causing it to be locked. The pump will have to be opened up to expose the impeller and using a wet-vac, the impeller area should be cleaned out.If nothing is in the impeller area, the pump and motor assembly W10782773 has a different issue locking it and will require replacement. The issue is definitely a mechanical one. Either an item blocking its' rotation or a bad bushing in the motor assembly. Read More...
Mack September 21, 2012 for Model Number GSD2000J01WW I don't know how old the dishwasher is, but we turned it on this morning and I left for work. My wife called me 10 minutes later and said it smelled like burned electronics. So I pulled the motor and gave it a once over. I was thinking it was shorted out, and checked for continuity on the terminals, and there was. I dont think this is right. The motor smells bad. Any thoughts?
1 Answer Hello Mack, If the motor smells burned, it is bad. Showing continuity is beside the point. You see, the windings are insulated with lacquer and not actual insulation. If the windings short back to themselves, there will actually be too little resistance and the windings will heat up drastically. The windings could also be shorted to ground, which is also a bad situation. As a general rule, if an electrical/electronic part smells burned, it is normally a bad part. Read More...

Bob August 20, 2012 for Model Number gsd2030z05ww My dishwasher was not filling. I determined that the drain solenoid was rusted and stuck. Water is leaking when it drains. From what I have read I may need to replace then entire pump assembly to address the faulty seals. I assume it includes the new solenoid? Can the pump assembly be replaced without removing the dishwasher from its cabinet?
1 Answer Hello Bob, The pump assembly can be changed without pulling the unit, but it is more time consuming that pulling the unit. An experienced technician will do it in place, but that is just because experience teaches where and how the little particulars are. I would recommend pulling the unit to save the time. If you were going to be a technician I would still recommend to pull the first few just to become familiar with the unit for future reference. After pulling several, it then becomes time saving to do it in place. Without this experience, many leaks are caused and you really don't need a leak on top of the trouble you already have.
