They had the seal available that all other parts suppliers said was only available with the purchase of a new sump. Saved me a lot of time and money. Also very fast delivery.

Had a big leak from the diverter, and replaced the rubber grommet. After this did not work I ordered the entire diverter and replaced it. Has been working well since.

Repair & Advice
Called out service tech for leaking dishwasher after 3rd visit the repair tech told me it was a bad diverter motor. Cost to replace would be $300-$400 and at least a week for the part to come in.
I decided to do a little research and found that this was a 30 minute repair the most difficult part being the disconning of the dishwasher.
I found the $53 part quickly on partsdr.com and with a little extra for expedited shipping had the part the next day.
Less than an hour of work and the leak was repaired. Net saving of over $300.
If you are at all handy and comfortable working with electrical wiring ( not necessary if your dishwasher is plug in type) this is an easy repair. I rated it as kind of difficult because disconnecting the dishwasher was a little tough since I had to disconnect the power supply.
Actual replacement of the the diverter motor takes 10 mins.
Tips- I wired in a temporary plug so that I could test the dishwasher before reinstall. Have a set of nut drivers and torx drivers handy. It’s much easier than trying to use a plier or ratchet.
I will definitely go through partsdr.com for future appliance repair needs.
