Matthew R Lafayette , CO February 02, 2016 Appliance: Whirlpool Undercounter Dishwasher WDT710PAYM5 The dishwasher would fill with water and drain water properly but nothing else was happening The dishwasher would fill with water, and then was silent (during the time you'd expect to hear it washing. Cancel/draining worked fine too. I assumed it was the pump/motor that had failed. The dishwasher was barely 2 years old. The repair was relatively simple. I removed the racks and spinners from inside the dishwasher. I turned off power to the unit and removed the hoses. I found it easiest to pull the dishwasher out of it's space and flip it on its belly so that I could get to the bottom of the unit. Removing the pump and motor assembly is relatively easy - just a couple of wires to unplug, and a couple of items to remove from the pump, and then you have to push up with some force to remove it.

Reinhard B Mequon , WI September 21, 2018 Appliance: Whirlpool Undercounter Dishwasher WDT710PAYM4 High pressure pump wasn't working I opted to buy the entire pump & motor assembly and took pictures before dismantling. The new assembly comes with a new rubber seal attached which is difficult to press in place. Tip: use liquid soap and apply it on the seal. Then loosen the bolts that hold the 3 white lock bars. The assembly will settle in place by equally tightening the bolts of the lock bars. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers
