1 Answer Ron, You will want to check for 120 vac getting to the motor on the unit. If there is 120 vac then then check the impeller to make sure that it is not damaged and that nothing is clogged in the pump assembly. If this checks ok then the motor would be fault and need to be replaced. Read More...
Dave December 15, 2016 for Model Number KDFE304dss0 My dishwasher does not seem to rinse correctly. I replaced the pump motor, which seemed to help some, but dishes still have film on them. Could it be the diverter valve? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Dave, A film on the dishes is more likely caused by improper heating of the water and/or improper detergent. I would first do a sanitation cycle with white vinegar, no dishes and no detergent to flush any contaminants. Then check the heating circuit for proper operation. This can usually be done with the aid of the units' tech sheet, usually located behind the kickpanel. Read More...
Blange November 25, 2016 for Model Number W10350141B I believe the grommet seal on the diverter motor is bad. Can you tell me the part number that I need for this particular Gold Series model?
1 Answer Hello Blange, I'm sorry but the number you posted is apparently the publication number of your units' tech sheet. We will need to ask you to post a new question including the model number from your units' I.D. tag so we can recommend parts that can be guaranteed to work properly on your unit. Without the model number my best guess at the part number needed is WPW10195677. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Ray C November 19, 2016 for Model Number WDT910SAYM0 Dishwasher leaking from the bottom. Close inspection reviewed that it is leaking from the deverter motor. Seems simple enough to replace; however many other questions suggest that I should also consider replacing the grommet. I am going to purchase the grommet, but am not where is goes. Removed my deverter and did not find a grommet. Does the grommet attached to the deverter motor? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Ray. The grommet is the issue and it is located in the sump housing. You will need to make sure you press it into place and it seals properly. Read More...
Alan October 14, 2016 for Model Number WDF730PAYB3 I have water leaking around the diverter motor of my whirlpool dishwasher. I have seen multiple answers to the issue on this site that depend on the model of the unit. What parts do I need to replace to resolve the issue? Unit model number is WDF730PAYB3.
Jason October 03, 2016 for Model Number Kitchen-aid Dishwasher Model # KDFE304DBL0 I have water leaking from my diverter motor. I want to go ahead and replace the gasket and the diverter motor. Can I get the gasket without getting the motor assembly?
1 Answer Hello Jason, The diverter motor seal is WPW10195677 and is available individually. Read More...
Eric September 18, 2016 for Model Number 665.13283K118 Kenmore Like others, my leak seems to be coming from the bottom of the diverter motor. I replaced the whole sump housing initially not realizing I could replace just the Oring seal. But it still leaks. What is the likelihood of the diverter motor/shaft being the cause of the leak?
1 Answer Eric, The diverter motor would be the most likely cause for the unit still leaking with having a new sump with oring. Read More...
Fern1331 September 09, 2016 for Model Number WDF760SADM0 The sprayers are not spraying. I have checked for clogs, none. water does circulate through them but they don't spin. I have taken the pumps apart and no obstructions. I am leaning toward the diverter motor, but would like you opinion.
1 Answer Fern1331, The diverter motor would be the most likely cause for the water not spraying in the unit. Read More...
John August 27, 2016 for Model Number WDF780SLYMO I am replacing the Diverter Motor in this model. I have got to the part where I have to hook in the wiring. I did not make note of where each of the two wires went when I took the part of the dishwasher of several months ago. I would really appreciate if someone could advise me which color goes on which end of the Diverter.
1 Answer John, There are only 2 wires going to the diverter motor in which both of them are blue and will not matter which one goes on which terminal. Read More...
Rob R. July 25, 2016 for Model Number Kenmore model 66513043K dishwasher I am replacing diverter motor (valve) your part number AP5650272 (Whirlpool OEM number W10537869) on a Kenmore model 66513043K dishwasher. I plan to also replace the grommet at the same time -your part number AP6016787 (Whirlpool OEM number WPW10195677). I have seen some repair suggestions to use a sealer on the outside diameter of the seal and lubricating the diverter shaft and seal with a "water proof lubricant" such as Dow silicone grease. But on your website there was mention of not using any grease on the grommet. What is the best way to install this grommet and diverter motor - with or without sealer and with or without silicone grease on shaft? Thank you, Rob
1 Answer Hello Rob, The manufacturer does not recommend using anything on the diverter during installation. It is always recommended to use a dab of liquid soap on the diverter shaft to prevent damage to the seal during installation. Read More...
