William L Taylors , SC September 14, 2015 Appliance: Model KUDE49FXSSI Sump seal leaked water into diverted motor and of course our floor this is my 2nd kitchenaid to have this problem DIY, changed motor and sump. Put a dab of valve lubricant on seal. Wet outer seal of sump to get it to seat in bottom of tub. Cleaned electrical connectors corroded by leak. Coated connectors with dielectric grease. Had to buy additional clamp. Two clamps came in the sump package but both fit the smaller hose only. Neither fit the large hose. I wish the correct clamps were included. Home improvement store clamp is a little too wide to fit between ridges in large hose.

Gerould K Highlands Ranch , CO July 23, 2017 Appliance: KitchenAid Undercounter Dishwasher KUDE40FXSS4 Leak through diverter motor shaft Replaced sump and diverter motor. There were several issues with the replacement parts: The sump came with two clamps to attach the pump to the sump. The smaller of the two clamps was too large and would not tighten around the hose. The larger of the two clamps was too small and would not fit around its hose. I had to find replacements at the local hardware store. The diverter motor came with a small instruction sheet telling me to use the enclosed grease on the shaft of the motor. There was no grease. It also came with a wire pigtail with two fuses but no instructions for its use. Whirlpool needs to do a better job of quality control! Read More...
