Mark W June 13, 2014 for Model Number GU2200XTSq3 My dishwasher is now much louder than normal when the recirculation pump operates. The pump is still pushing water (i.e. the dishes get wet), and the sound isn't awful, but there's definitely something different going on. I took things apart from inside, there's nothing stuck in the chopper and it turns without binding. I'm now thinking I either have a problem with the impeller or a bearing problem with the motor. 1) Is it possible to inspect the impeller from inside the machine? I couldn't see much when looking into the discharge port from the top, but I didn't try a mirror. 2) Is there another way to know which part needs replacing? 3) Any other suggestions on what the noise might be? 4) While I wait for parts, is there any reason not to run the machine? I suppose if the problem is an impeller I shouldn't run the machine and risk ruining the motor, but if it is a motor bearing I'll need to replace the motor anyway, so I might as get a few more last days out of the thing. BTW, thanks very much for the >excellent< video on replacing the circulation motor. Super!

Jr April 10, 2014 for Model Number KUDS35FXSS4 How do I unscrew the impeller from the pump? There is black goo that drips out below the recirc motor so I'm assuming the seal is bad and is included with the impeller part kit 8193951
1 Answer Hello JR. To remove the motor from the sump housing you will want to remove the securing bolt securing the wash motor and drip shield in place on the pump assembly. Once removed turn motor approximately 1/4 turn until it stops. Pull motor straight back from the sump. This may take some effort to dislodge. The volute will remain attached. Keep in mind when reinstalling the wash motor and the volute, do not pinch the volute seal between the volute and sump. Use a small amount of rinse aid on the volute seal to help installation. Once pump is off you can remove the impeller and volute. To remove the impeller, slide a flat blade screwdriver into the back of the wash motor to keep armature of motor from turning while unscrewing the impeller clockwise. Take care not to scratch or nick the motor winding. Unscrew the impeller then line the arrow of the volute up with the triangle mark on the pump and lift off volute. Reinstall in reverse.

Mark January 25, 2014 Do you sell a impeller replacement kit for W10239404 Genuine Whirlpool FSP Dishwasher Pump Motor. The portion of the impeller that engages the soft food grinder is stripped.
Randy January 14, 2014 for Model Number KUDK03ITBS2 I turn the dishwasher on, it starts to wash. When it starts to pump out it gets stuck and keeps pumping out and doesn't finish the wash cycle
1 Answer Randy, the issue would be the electronic control WPW10084142 . there are only two components involved, the drain pump which works and the control board. The eeprom on the control board most likely has a "glitch" and gets stuck in the drain increment circuit. Read More...
Kashif S. December 22, 2013 for Model Number KUDS02SS Kitchen Aid Dishwasher I have a problem with the dishwasher. After finishing the cycle, some dirty water stays at the bottom. Couple of weeks before I cleaned opened up the bottom area and did some cleanup as much as possible. There were indeed few things stuck there and impending the flow of water. After that, water still remained there but sometime less sometimes more (but doesn't overflow) and was relatively clean looking. Now its starting to become dirty again. I am wondering what could be wrong, before I start opening it again? Any insight is appreciated.
1 Answer Hello Kashif, The most likely issue is the chopper assembly W10083957V is broken and the chopper assembly screen is stopping up. Read More...
Ted December 21, 2013 for Model Number Kitchenaid Superba dishwasher approx 2001 the dishwasher will fill and pump out. It will not circulate water. It just hums after it fills. there was some broken glass that had jammed the food chopper, but I cleared that. thanks for your help. Ted
1 Answer Ted, there may be glass in the impeller jamming the assembly, or possibly the glass shards have damaged the vanes on the impeller 8193951A . You'll need to remove the motor pump assembly and remove the volute and motor and check the impeller and the chamber for debris and blockage. Read More...
Kenneth October 11, 2013 for Model Number 65515912000 Can the circulating pump impeller (#8193951) be replaced inside the washer without removing pump motor? I have removed the chopper assembly of which has a broken tab on the drive coupling and screen is stopped up. I want to replace chopper assembly and the impeller while I have gone this far.
1 Answer Hello Kenneth. No, it is best to remove the motor assembly to install the seal properly into the unit. It can be done, but may not seal good and leak. Read More...
Kathy July 27, 2013 for Model Number Kudpo2srss2 Hello, I have replaced the motor and the chopper fell out when doing it. I put it back together but it looked like I needed a new one. My dishwasher is working but it is now very noisy. Could it be the chopper.
1 Answer Kathy, Yes it could be the chopper that is the issue. You will want to pull the pump apart and make sure that everything is back together properly and make sure that any screws are tight. Read More...
Larry May 07, 2013 for Model Number kudp01ilbs3 Do you have installation instructions for this part? I think I need to replace my impeller shaft (it's not engaging the food chopper). Can I do this without removing the entire pump assembly?
1 Answer Hello Larry. You must remove the motor to replace this part. The impeller unscrews off the motor shaft of the unit. You need to hold the motor from turning when unscrewing the impeller. Usually it is easier to replace the motor assembly... more instead of just the impeller Read More...
Storm77 February 22, 2013 for Model Number kudp01ilbs1 Hi I've determined that my impeller is not engaging with my chopper assembly. From reading the posts and responses on this it looks like something is in the assembly or I need to replace the impeller. However I've not been able to find any instructions to replace the impeller alone. All the instructions ask me to replace the entire assembly. Ideally I'd like to figure out if there's a way to tell if there's some gunk in it that I can clean out first. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Storm77. The impeller 8193951A unscrews off the motor shaft of the unit. You need to hold the motor from turning when unscrewing the impeller. Usually it is easier to replace the motor assembly instead of just the impeller. Read More...
