1 Answer Hi Roger. This question is involved. Do you have good water pressure ? It is recommended to insure you have at least 120 degrees incoming by checking temperature at the sink. What kind of soap are you using? Remember, that all states no longer have phosphates included. So depending on your water hardness, you should consider using a water hardness test kit to evaluate the amount of additional soap needed per grains of water hardness you might have. Check all of your wash arms to see if the "jet holes " are plugged ( especially on the ends). Then if so you need to remove the arms and flush them out. Use a pick tool to dislodge particles that might be clogging your jets. Make sure your incoming water fill is filling to the bottom of your water heater. Clean out tub filters to insure proper water flow and pressure. Hope this helps. Thank-you Read More...
Patrick May 24, 2011 for Model Number Whirlpool GU940SCGQ03 My dishwasher began to squeal really bad during use. After the first cycle it would not refill and the arms would not move. I checked the arms and they were moving freely. What do you suggest.
1 Answer Hello Patrick. You will need to check and see if the float is stuck. If not, and there is no water coming in, you will need to replace the water valve W10844024. Test and make sure there is power coming to the valve during fill. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...

Robert April 30, 2011 for Model Number 6651564991 Our top rack spin spray arm is not spinning to wash the upper dishes. What would be the fix? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Robert! You will need to make sure that you are getting the proper amount of water and have good water pressure. Let the unit fill, open the door, the water should be touching the bottom of the heating element. If it is not, you could have a valve 3374621 issue. Also check the top sprayer arm, make sure that it has not cracked or become the holes have not become clogged. Hope this information helps! Read More...
Robert April 27, 2011 for Model Number 6651564991 Our dishwasher is very loud. I took apart impeller housing found impeller wobbles and tightened up. Impeller spins freely. Is there a key on impeller possibly broken. Still making loud noise. The top rack dishes are dry when washing.
1 Answer Hello Robert. You will need to check and see what the water level is inside the dishwasher. It should be up near the bottom of the heater. If it is low, you could have a bad water valve 3374621. You can inspect the impeller and see if it is stripped out. If so, you will need to replace the impeller kit. Hope this helps. Read More...

Will this AP3776340 pump fit in my dishwasher? Thank you

Susan O. April 15, 2011 for Model Number 66515522000 I have water coming out of the top and bottom of my dishwasher. My clear glassware also has a white film inside whether or not I put them on the first or second shelf.
1 Answer Hello Susan! If it is leaking from the top and bottom of the door check to make sure the door is aligned properly and is closing all the way. If it is, you will have a problem with the gasket WPW10509257. For the filming issue, make sure you are using the correct amount of detergent per water hardness. The amount of detergent should be increased according to the degree of water hardness (one teason per grain). You can clean glass ware in undiluted vinegar. Also try running a load without any dishes with vinegar to clean the inside of the dishwasher. Hope this helps! Read More...
Jill April 10, 2011 for Model Number Replacement parts in Pump and Motor section of WHIRLPOOL KUDR24SEAL1 UNDER COUNTER DISHWASHER We were directed to this response-- Check the drain pump and drain hose for cloggs. If all is clear, you may need a new drain pump. Here is the link to your unit's diagrams: http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=238652&diagram_id=28213068#d28213068 . If you refer to # 25 in the diagram you see part of the drain pumpAP3120030, # 33 is the drain pump AP3083678. Hope this helps! New question followup...do you need to take apart everything in order to check 33. If so, We started to take everything apart and cannot find a socket to fit #12. In between 6mm and 7mm and less than 8/32. What size would fit?
1 Answer Hello Jill. You can remove the drain hose from under the sink and from the pump assembly without disassembling the whole thing. You will need to uninstall the dishwasher to do so. Hope this helps. Read More...
