[quote=anku;466016]Hi,
Circulation pump in my dishwasher, GE QuitePower-III model#GLD5960N00SS is not coming on. I am trying to figure out how to check if something is blocking impeller from moving.
I am having hard time trying to figure out how to get to the impeller attached to the circulation pump. Is impeller wheel accessible from inside dishwasher ? Do I need to somehow remove coarse filter from inside dishwasher tub ?
Appreciate your help ![/quote]
Anku,
That would not get you to the impeller assembly.
You need to remove the circulation pump motor assembly from the sump.
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][LEFT]1. Remove power. Try to turn fan blade clockwise to determine if seal is stuck and can be broken loose. If motor shaft can not be turned,
cutter blade may be bound up. Proceed to step[/LEFT]

grid and reach down into the sump. Check for blockages such as bone, wire ties, etc. Check “pocket” on left side of sump; if it contains debris, clean thoroughly.

and motor.
Remove the support hanger bolt from the motor, disconnect the wire harness to the motor. loosen the clamp holding the motor housing to the sump assembly and slip the motor assembly out and away from the sump.
You’ll have access to all the pump assembly components.
Good Luck,
