My DW is working fine but very noisy. Repairman stated “found noise in both wash and drain motors”. Suggested replacing the unit because repair would cost approx $400. The question I have is what exactly do I need to purchase. I want to make sure I know everything up front before I buy 1 part and then realize I need something else. Besides the noisy the dw works like new. Thanks - Mark
Ok, I did some research and it appears I need to order part # AP4434612 ? Can someone help and tell me if that is the correct part for my model dishwasher? Thanks to anyone that can help me.
I just ordered part # AP4434617 with the help of customer service to fix the problem I’m having with my very noisy dw. Are there any instructions on how to do this? I’m pretty handy but would like to get something to refer to rather than “guess”. Thanks.
The following should help.

You have to join the site to download the manual but it is free and this is a very good site for manuals and other info for the appliance repair DIYer.
I put a very light coating of white lithium grease on the seal before installing, makes it easier to position the pump assy.
I signed on to the site to download the manual and I got and error stating I don’t have access to download the service manual. I’ll try again tomorrow. Thanks.
Oooops, nevermind that last post…I got the service manual. Thanks again.
