help i an trying to fix the leak. ok took dishwasher out found leak i thought. look like it is comming from front of motor so i took it out ,there was a thick rubber called a mount-motorfront so i replaced it still leaks plus i don’t think the spray arm is working, is that controlled by the motor and the pump assembly, plus the motor was hot
If your washer fills up to near the heater, the pump should spray up the water.
If not, drain dishwasher and remove spray arm housing and pull the half round cover that covers the pump impeller. Suck up any water there, turn water off the unit and turn on in wash mode. Check the rotation direction of the motor, if turning the wrong way, you will need to replace the motor pump assembly. They have had a lot of problems with this sidewinder motor reversing direction Your motor part # is AP3160640 cost $136.87
