Hello Chris. The motor is not an easy repair, but can be done by some customers. Kenmore does not offer any manuals to provide to you to help you. Sorry.

Hi. Disconnect the drain hose under the sink. Use a screwdriver in the sink connection to see if it is clogged there. Or if there is a vacumm break on the sink open it there as well to make sure the hoses are not clogged there. Make sure the drain hose has a looped section mounted as far up under the sink to form a p-trap and make sure the rest is connected taut down towards the sink connection as well. Disconnect the drain hose at the pump and look for stuck debris. Remove the lower track aqdn the top of the motor/sump top filters. Clean all traps, impeller and the chopper blade. Replace the chopper blade if damaged causing your issue. Make sure the drain pump has resistance and each terminal is not shorted againdst the motor laminations. The motor terminals have to be tight connected. The armature has physical resistance that oposses each spin naturally just as long as the armature does not drag or is water logged. If so replace the pump part # WPW10348269. Thank You.

Hello Mike, If you read the installation instructions, it explains in there to elevate the drain line to counter top level. The purpose of this is to prevent sink water from filling the dishwasher. The other point it makes is the necessity of an air break or siphon break. This prevents the weight of the water going down the drain from pulling the water from the unit. Most dishwashers are drained into the sink drain because this provides an air break to prevent the siphoning effect from taking place. When a dishwasher has a valve, it is only to prevent the circulation pump from pushing the water from the unit during water distribution inside the unit during the wash cycle.

Hello Doug. The model number you provided, does use a check valve WP8268375. However, most of the time when something like this happens, it is due to the plumbing in the home is clogged and causing the issues. If the check valve is still there and looks good, the plumbing is the issue with the unit.

Joe you'll need to check the drain hose and drain system for a kink or clog. First ry disconnecting the drain hose from the disposal or drain pipe and drain the dishwasher into a large buccket( 5 gallon bucket works best) that should remove any debris in the hose. then check the disposal or hose connection on the pipe. I'm sure you've removed the filter and checked under it ( in the sump) for any debris, etc. Thanks

Hello Mike. Have you changed the wires with the fuse? If not, this is the problem and not the pump. However, if the wires have been changed and the pump WPW10348269 reads high in ohms, you may need to replace the pump. Hope this helps.
