Hello all:

I have a Maytag MDB2400AWE that is leaking water around the pump shaft. I bought the impellor/seal assembly and removed the pump from the dishwasher. No problem. Now I'm trying to figure out how to actually remove the old impellor from the pump. Is it epoxyed to the shaft?

Regards,
Craig

I split it off with a wood chisel.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I always like to get a second opinion before I deliberately break something. I have one more question, if you don't mind. Before I break off the impeller, do I need to remove the pump volute in order to get at the impeller? Or does the impeller have to come off before I can remove the volute?

Regards,
Craig

You have to take the impeller off to remove anything. Just use a sharp chisel and tap and crack the old impeller. Before doing this, make sure the motor bearings are OK, not worth messing with if they are bad.
