After a short while - it makes a humming noise like there is current draw but know action. It starts humming the time the pump usually kicks in. Motor - Capacitor - Sensor - All 3? Thanks in Advance ~ Rob

You can find the complete instructions in one of our previous posts: http://forum.appliancepartspros...hirlpool-dishwasher.html Gene.

I had to replace the motor/pump assembly on my Kenmore/Whirlpool DW. The motor was very corroded and the fault of the unit. What will prevent the new motor from being corrupted in the same way as the OEM? Within 3 years? This is more of a Kenmorw response. Thanks again! Rob
