I had noise around the motor and discovered the chopper unit was worn out. In the process of finding this I unnecessarily had removed the motor. I noted that the yoke that engages the chopper unit was a bit worn, but installed the new chopper and tried it. I still had the same noise which is coming from the chopper. I can only assume the yoke is too worn, but looking for that part it appears I need to replace the entire motor. Say it ain't so! The motor runs fine.
Sorry I could not give you a better model nuumber but my now ex-wife must have removed the sticker at some point.
Thanks.
John

John,

If the motor itself is still good then you can fix it by replacing just the impeller kit.

Thanks, Gene. Ordered the part. Looks like just a simple pry off and press fit, no? Thanks again

You are welcome John. The instructions are attached to the reply.

Keep us posted.
