Problem
Dishwasher was not spraying water, it would fill with water and then just do nothing, and then drain. It would just continue this cycle without spraying water through the spray arms.
Tools
Screwdrivers, Oetiker Clamp crimper
Repair & Advice
I have no experience repairing appliances but was able to order this circulation pump and gave it a shot fixing my own dishwasher. It took a little time as I was learning along the way but it turned out super easy to replace. Took a little patience to wiggle the new pump into place but I managed. The only problem I ran into was the discharge hose has an Oetiker clamp (had to look it up). This type of clamp requires a special crimper (pliers) to pinch it and secure it on the hose. I had to visit a few hardware stores before I found a $10 Oetiker clamp pliers to properly secure the clamp. The pliers basically look like an end nipper pliers but aren't sharp on the end. Saved my family a lot of money by using partsdr instead of local repair company. At least one hundred dollars in labor plus about half the price for the pump itself. Well worth it. Thank you

Repair & Advice
Just google what your problem and YouTube normally will have it. If your replacing the pump because it wasn’t working you’ll have to make the dishwasher do a self diagnosis test. Press any 3 buttons in a 123,123,123 and it will do this. Just shut the door and it will start
