Greetings
My aged whirlpool dishwasher is leaking.
After watching it run, it is dribbling from where the metal motor bolts to the plastic housing underneath. I’m not sure exactly where in the area, but I took the front covers off beneath the dishwasher and ran a load, and water started dripping in this area.
A little internet searching brought this site up:
It suggested I replace possibly 4 parts.
Is there any good way to narrow the part I need down? Or perhaps they are all good to replace on a dishwasher of this age?
I wouldn’t mind ordering the sump, the seal and the seal assemblies, but when I start looking at $150 for the pump and motor itself, I start to question if it might be time to just replace the dishwasher. Of course, I don’t know what ‘modern’ dishwasher is comparable to this one.. so I’d have to become an educated shopper.
The dishwasher we have now is adequate; and our home is more of a starter home, so I don’t need anything super fancy as it would make the rest of our appliances appear cheap
Any guidance is appreciated!
