Dishwasher doesn’t pump. Using instructions under another thread in your forum, I have successfully disassembled dishwasher. Root cause of problem is staples (yes the kind you put in a stapler) in dishwasher. (Kids!) The chopper assembly is toast and clearly needs to be replaced. A few staples and plastic pieces from the broken chopper assembly were removed from the pump impeller. The impeller spins freely on the motor. Here are my two questions:
- Is there any way that I can bench test the motor to find out if it works before going to all the fuss of reassembling the dishwasher?
- It says in the disassembly instructions to lubricate the pump seal before reassembly. What am I supposed to lubricate it with?
Thanks in advance for your help,
