"The pump has a keeper in the upper left corner when you look at it"

Brian, what does the keeper look like that holds the pump in? Os it it part of the pump housing that gets pushed in. I am doing this same repair.
My pump also has a deflector that goes on it somehwere but cannot remember exactly how it goes? Can you help with that? Thanks

paul

Hey Paul,

The keeper is the part of the pump that gets pushed in to remove the pump. If you look at photo #2, my thumb is pressing in the keeper. As for the deflector, it sits above the pump and is held in once the pump is reinstalled. The deflector is missing on my photos because they are hard to get installed properly after service so some techs tend to get rid of them. Hope this helps.

Thanks TechnicianBrian. With your help I replace the pump in my Kenmore model. Along the way I also found the directions the tech left behind when the pump was replaced due to a recall. Hopefully this third pump in 4 years will last longer. I was even able to do it without removing it from the cabinet.

Brian,
I have a loud noise like howling and it is getting worse. I have a kenmore elite Model 665 16463300, would your advise be the same I have suspected the pump for a month or so. I miss the nice quiet dishwasher I purchased, and it drive my kids crazy.

Thanks

Hey Steve,

Sounds like a motor to me, but you may want to take the top of the pump housing off first to ensure nothing is stuck inside that could make the noise. If all looks good, then yup, time to replace it. The replacement is pretty simple to do yourself too.

Brian
