Bill February 17, 2014 for Model Number model kudm25shbt1 Do I really need the part # 31, ap2908817 centering tool if I want to replace the motor and pump assembly on my model kudm25shbt1 dish washer?? Also, when we bought the unit the low decibels was part of the pitch--quiet er than most other DW's at the time.Something about a gold bond quiet version of motor. Are the replacement motors similar. Noise is one of the driving forces behind replacing what we have?? Thank you
1 Answer Bill, If you are replacing the complete pump assembly then no you would not need the centering too. The centering tool is uses for when you are disassembling the pump assembly in order to rebuild it. The complete pump assembly is part number W10428773. Read More...
Broken February 22, 2013 for Model Number DU960PWKB0 Washer stopped draining suddenly. Disassembled down to drain impeller only to find motor shaft connection had sheared with the top of the shaft still in the impeller (very rusted). Any options to fix rather than replacing the whole motor assembly?
1 Answer Hello Broken. Based on the information you provided, the motor assembly in the unit will need to be replaced. Read More...
Homeowner June 01, 2012 for Model Number 665.17798790 Purchased a new motor gasket, gasket kit, and a drain / impeller kit (AP3115180) for our dishwasher because it leaked. Is this tool needed? I guess I'm not clear on the purpose of the tool and if I really need to purchase one to reassemble the dishwasher based on the parts ordered. What would happen if I didn't use the tool (if it is recommended)?
1 Answer Hello. As long as you center the pump housing, the tool is not needed. If not centered, you will have issues. It is best to use the tool WP303918 to help you when replacing these parts. Read More...
