Ran rince cycle to check it and discovered dripping from around where the pump flange(?) meets tub. Is this a simple fix? The machine is included in the GE recall.

There are two ways to fix it. (1) You can buy the impeller & seal kit and repair the old pump (it comes with the installation instructions) or (2) You can replace the pump & motor assembly. In both cases the dishwasher has to be removed from the cabinet. - The part number for the impeller & seal kit AP631386 - The part number for the pump & motor assembly AP2616850 - Here are the break down diagrams for the GE dishwasher Model GSD4030Z05WW Gene.
