Whirlpool dishwasher parts - replace motor or motor AND pump?

Dishwasher Repair
1

My Whirlpool Quiet Partner (DUC600XTPQ7) makes a continuous noise when it is operating…I checked the chopper..no clogs… reassembled it and the noise continues. From other posts it looks like I should replace the motor…I read one of Gene’s posts that said it was easier/more reliable to replace the combined motor and pump than just the motor…

  1. what part is that?
  2. HOW do you replace it? are there directions somewhere? Is it a hard repair?

Thanks!!!

Here are your parts

The pump/motor assembly is Item 14 in Section 8.

Here is a manual that should help with the replacement.
The unit is not an exact match to yours but the pump assy looks the same.

thanks, denman!

is this a repair that i should consider doing? i am relatively handy, but want to make sure before I dissemble the whole thing in the middle of the kitchen.

I would give it a try and I am also just relatively handy.
Just take your time mark or make a diagram of anything that can connect in more than one way.

Also I am a big fan of putting a very light coating of lithium grease on gaskets/seals etc. before installing. It just seems to help things go in easier.

Yes it is and the odds of having problems down the road are less.

Throw a quart or two of hot water into the unit before starting it up after the repair. Pumps do not like to run dry.
