With the type of pump and motor that you have in your model that would be a definate repair for me, one of the best set ups they have. The newer ones don't clean as well to me anyway. Nat

Will I need any special tools for removal? Or should I call a repair person. Jpjsel

So would it be better to replace the whole unit part number AP3776339 which includes the pump, motor and tub gasket? Please advise jpjsel

Running the dishwasher part 9740684 dislodges with the bottom spray wand. Also do I need the wiring harness - is it wired different than the original? Can you supply a wring schematic for my model?
