Whirlpool WPW10056309 Pump And Motor Assembly OEM Part

I replaced the pump and motor part. It was very easy, the only tricky part is when you place the new one in the hole you have to press hard on the pump and this allows the pump to go all the way down. While pushing you can then move the locking levers in place.

After a Google search I determined my main pump had died. Had bought parts from Appliance Parts Pro a few months ago. The drain and fill pump on the same dishwasher had died. looked up my dishwashers model and found the part I needed. Bought the new pump with overnight shipping, found a YouTube on how to replace it. New part came in the next day, and managed to replace it in about 30min. Nice that the machine was designed to be serviceable. So I took apart the old motor and confirmed that indeed the motor was the root cause, motor shaft was difficult to turn, motor would stall and not function.

Possible bad parts, per factory error code sheet for 6-1 errors was - washer motor, diverter valve, door latch switch. Most others have found the washer motor to be the cause, and it comes with a diverter valve and the entire sump plate that holds all the parts together. So I bought that combo after checking door switch continuity. It worked! Comments Putting the new sump plate in required a little Vaseline. It's a tight fit and wasn't seating completely when dry. If I knew how to check the diverter valve, I would have done that before ordering. 1/3 the cost of the combo kit. Guess I could have ordered both and returned one but the hassle of installing a part and then attaching the dishwasher to check if that was the broken part seemed not worth the extra money. Chat with APP employees was awesome. Patient and helpful people.

Replaced the circulation pump assembly, purchased through appliance parts pro. Used directions from the sears sight on line. Did the job in about 1.5 hrs. Did not have to shut off water supply, just the electric. Did the repair without having to remove the dishwasher. The part did the job, everything went smoothly

Replaced bottom pump assy. The only issue was one of the connectors had become corroded due to water leak. I ended up soldering a couple wires directly to the circuit board and used some butt splices to connect to the wire harness.
