Whirlpool dishwasher motor hums, won't run

Dishwasher Repair

My dishwasher fills and empties with water, but the motor only hums and doesn’t run. It turns free when pushing on fins with a screwdriver. Could it be the capacitor? Or something else?

Most likely the motor has gone bad and has to be replaced.

  • The part number for the motor assembly is AP3179651
