Problem
Washer would not circulate water
Tools
Eight-in-one screwdriver, pliers
Repair & Advice
My dishwasher stopped cleaning my dishes recently. Through basic troubleshooting I determined it was drawing in water, but not circulating it through the wash arms. I found this part that includes the circulation and drain motors (but not the diverter) all in one, which made it very easy to replace. You just remove the filter inside the dishwasher, unhook wire connectors, remove the whole bottom piece, replace the bottom piece, reconnect the wires, replace the filter, and you’re done. I highly recommend taking photos of each of the wire connectors before unplugging then so you know where they connect and note wire management clips used. I disassembled in a half hour, took a short break, and reassembled in another half hour.

...had the choice to replace just the pump or get the whole motor assembly. The difference in price was less than $10. Glad I went with the whole assembly as it made it a "drop in" installation. Great price and fast shipping.
