Ralph June 23, 2015 for Model Number KUDP01ILBS1 My Kitchen Aide Dishwasher will fill with water, heat it and dump the soap, but will not pump to the wash arms. Two weeks ago it started making grinding noises during the wash cycle now there is no noise at all. Does the pump need cleaned out or replaced. Thanks - RP
1 Answer Hello Ralph. You need to check for power to the motor and if there is power there, you will need to replace the circulation pump WPW10757217 on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Ellen February 05, 2015 for Model Number 66515955793 The dishwasher seems to be operational, however, once the tub is filled with water and the pump and motor activates, the unit gets really loud and obnoxious through the wash cycle. Is this a sign that the pump and motor is beginning to go bad?
1 Answer Ellen, You will want to open the sump assembly from the top and check to make sure that there is nothing down inside the pump that would cause this issue. Could be a piece of glass or something like that which could cause the issue. If this checks ok then the issue would be the wash motor that is faulty. Read More...
Greg August 26, 2013 for Model Number GU980SCGS2 i had to replace the motor/pump on this unit with part #W10428168. It filled with water but then will only run for about 5 secs and then click off. The washing light is still lite. It then goes about 3min10sec and then tries to run again. It only runs the same 5 secs and clicks. It will continue this cycle. The when I hit cancel/drain the motor hums like it wants to start but then clicks off never starting/running to pump out water. any suggestions? seams like something is telling the motor to stop. If bad motor i would not think that it would try to start again. also the new replacement does not have a hole to screw what seams like some type of counterbalance
1 Answer Greg, You will want to check the wiring coming into your dishwasher to make sure that there is only 120 vac coming into your dishwasher. Also check the wiring from the control board to the motor for broken or shorted wires. It sounds like you are loosing the neutral circuit and getting high amperage draw due to this which would cause the unit to have this issue. Read More...
John June 19, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool DU943PWKT0 Our 11 year old dishwasher will not drain, and was making a high pitched squeal before it failed. Now when you select cancel/drain, it makes a humming and clicking noise and fails to drain. If we purchase the pump/motor assembly does it include the drain pump/motor, or is the drain assembly sold as a separate component? What other parts (seals, etc.) do we need to purchase if we purchase the pump/motor assembly to complete the repair job?
1 Answer Hello John, The pump and motor assembly (AP5306182) is both the circulation pump and the drain pump. Replacing it will cure the issue. It comes with the gasket that goes around it and seals it to the tub. It should be lubricated around the outer edge with liquid soap to prevent damage during its' installation. Read More...
Dish_Pan_Hands December 16, 2012 for Model Number Sears 665.15982990 I'm not getting any water spray from either the lower or upper arms. I've taken it apart and don't see any blockage that would prevent the water from flowing. Also, I hear the pump running but when I open the door, the water is "frothy" in the bottom but nothing is being sprayed. When taking it apart, the upper half of the pump was just sitting kinda loose. My assumption is the pump halves have separated and the pump pressure is just recirculating in the tub. But for the life of me, I can't see what holds the two pump halves together, and I don't see any broken parts. Was it perhaps glued together and the glue has failed?
1 Answer Hello dish_pan_hands. If the water level is correct, and the motor is not clogged and stuck, you will need to order and replace the pump and motor assembly W10428168 on the unit. Read More...
Art August 21, 2012 for Model Number du912pfgb2 My dishwasher will not pump any water in dishwasher. Do I need a new pump?
1 Answer Hello Art. Check and make sure the float is not stuck on the unit. If not, it sounds like the water valve W10844024 may be bad and need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Paul July 02, 2011 for Model Number 66515784300 No water is coming up through the spray arm. I hear the pump coming on, but the water seems to be coming out from under the pump. Loosing water pressure I have change the seals and cleaned the filter and have checked the spray arms for blockage and found none. Would I need this pump and motor? Model number 66515784300. Please advise. Thank you!
1 Answer Hello Paul. Check and make sure the water level inside the dishwasher is correct. It should fill up to the bottom of the heater. If so, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the pump motor W10428168 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Doug April 10, 2011 for Model Number 66515983990 The water won't discharge. I here the pump kick on but no water discharging. Do I need to replace the whole pump and motor assembly?
1 Answer Hello Doug. You will need to check the drain hose and pump first and make sure it is not clogged. If it is clear and the pump wont drain, then you will need to replace the pump assembly. Hope this helps. Read More...
Toby March 31, 2011 for Model Number Kenmore 665.15955793 I have the same problem as a previous poster... the top rack isn't getting clean. I understand that this model does not have a filter screen, but is the pump filter assembly user-serviceable? I'd like to clean out any gunk that may be in there.
1 Answer Hello Toby. These are a little hard to clean out. You will need to disassemble the pump to access the filter. Hope this helps. Read More...
Joan March 05, 2011 Hi, I think I need a motor and pump assembly, but first want to know if I can clean the filters in it first. My problem is the top rack is not cleaning and the repair man said this is what I need. Appreciate your help
1 Answer Hello Joan. This model does not have a filter screen. If has a pump filter assembly, that is built inside the pump. Hope this helps. Read More...
