Tony G. August 01, 2017 for Model Number MDBH985AWS My gasket is worn and leaving black residue on my dishes. I want to replace it. Do I need to remove the whole bottom assembly?

Chris H November 24, 2015 for Model Number JDB2150AWP Not a question, but for this area...I DID have to take the dishwasher out and access the bottom, as there are 3 clamps and the drain motor which precluded the gasket and pump from lifting out...I have pictures if you'd like to see them. Just an FYI
1 Answer Chris, Thank you for that information. It is necessary to access the bottom to get to the 3 clamps and the drain motor to get the pump to lift out. Read More...
1 Answer Hank, It's a bit involved, but pretty easy to perform the repair. First remove power to the dishwasher and remove the lower access panel and kickplate to access the motor pump assembly. Remove the racks 3. Remove Wash Manifold 4. Loosen Wash Arm Hub and Pivot. 5. Remove Spray Arm. 6. Remove 3 Torx™ screws securing Filter Guard. 7. Entire Wash Motor Assembly can be lifted from Tub for further disassembly. 8. Remove and replace Pump Gasket if necessary. 9. Disconnect wiring harness from Wash Motor Assembly. 10. Remove 6 Torx™ screws securing Discharge Housing. Once you've lifted the pump assembly out of the tub, you'll want to clean the tub sump area, then seat the gasket around the pump motor assembly. You can also apply a thin coat of rinse agent around the opening, then set the pump assembly into place and reverse the procedure. Read More...
Gary November 19, 2014 for Model Number MDBH750AWB I think I need to replace the motor mount seal and maybe the chopper seal. There are two lever mount on the bottom of the pan that I can see. Are there more in the back I cant see? Do I need to remove the dishwasher from the cabinet to get to them?
1 Answer Hello Gary, There are three motor mounts on these motors. There is only one in the rear so if you can reach around and locate it the unit does not have to be removed. The seal can also be changed without pulling the motor assembly. Read More...

Ohioeric May 14, 2013 for Model Number MDB8750AWB Is the silicon grease absolutely necessary? Does it simply ease installation, or actually provide a seal? I took out my old gasket to trim off the inner edge because it was disintegrating. I temporarily reinstalled it after wiping off the foul gunk and grease, before I noticed that the grease comes with the new gasket. However, one part seller had this listed as requiring "Hazardous Materials" special shipping. I'm not so sure I want that in there with the water that cleans my dishes. Hopefully the old seal will hold up until I figure out what to do. No leaks *yet*. Thanks!
1 Answer OhioEric, It is not necessary to put the silicone grease around the seal as it is used for ease of installation. Read More...

Jeannine February 11, 2013 for Model Number JDB1250AWW I NEED TO REPLACE THE MOTOR SEAL, IT HAS MELTED AND IS LEAVING BLACK GOOE ON EVERYTHING LIKE A MELTED TAR, WILL ANYTHING =ELSE NEED TO BE REPLACED?
1 Answer Jeannine, No you should not need anything other than the pump seal. But, you do want to check and make sure the drain hose is not twisted, kinked, or restricted. You will also want to check and make sure the water in the bottom of the tub on the first fill of any cycle is between 120 and 130 dgrs.F. and you are using the proper amount of detergent for the load size, and conditions.
