Jbz400, You will want to check your drain line to make sure that it either goes to a airgap or goes up to the bottom of the counter top before coming back down to the drain on the sink. If there is an air gap you will want to make sure that the air gap is not clogged. If the drain line does not go to the bottom of the countertop without an air gap then the unit will back wash water from the drain back to the dishwasher.

Hello Glenn, Some of these motors will feel "jerky" because they have permanent magnets inside them. The main thing to look for is if the impeller is securely attached to the pump motor shaft. I seriously doubt that the drain pump is bad for this reason. Other than this, you should check the filters in the circulation pump for food particles and debris. The chopper assembly (AP3039186) on these are notorious for breaking and the screen will clog with food particles.

Pat, The unit does not have to be pulled out to replace the drain pump. It makes it easier to replace if it is pulled out and laid on its back. It should take more than 1 hour to replace the part.

Hello Pat, This is not a difficult pump to change. It should be completed in less than 30 minutes. The power should be turned off for the part replacement and the part can be changed with the unit in its' installed position. The toughest part of it is making sure the "O" ring is in position. Be sure to turn the power back on to the unit and let it fill with water before re-installing the kick panel so you can make sure there are no water leaks.

Hello Larry, There is no check valve that keeps water from back flowing. You will want to check to make sure that there is nothing in the drain pump that would be restricting the water flow.
