Hello All... How is everyone? Sorry I haven't been around as of late. My life consists mostly of work these days... I need some help. I have a rebranded Kitchen Aid Dishwasher under the Kenmore Elite Name. It is about 8 or 9 years old. It's an Awesome Dishwasher with the Smart Wash options etc. I like it better than my current KitchenAid at the new house actually... but I digress. Well, last week, it stopped washing dishes... 1) System turns on and it fills. 2) After it fills, I hear motors spinning, but no water moving. 3) I opened it up to find that the water pump is not pushing water through either of the wash arms. 4) I hit cancel and the water does drain out of the Dishwasher. So, I am assuming that the part that needs to be replaced is the Water Pump and Motor? Is this a difficult repair? Is it worth repairing from a Cost perspective for a new Dishwasher? Responses much appreciated guys! Model #665.15912000 Sears Parts Direct Link Below Thanks ~Brant IX CLICK HERE TO GO TO brant_ix's LINK

Thanks Steve
Sorry for my delay in response, I've been busy with work the past few days plus we had the 4th of July Holiday! btw... Happy Belated 4th Everyone!!! So I am proud to announce, that I have performed my First MAJOR repair to a Dishwasher! Thanks for the info! I did a little further reading and found out that the Garbage Disposer within the Dishwasher has a tendancy to grind itself. And when I pulled the Dishwasher out from under the counter, there was a small pile of metal dust, proving that the motor had ended up grinding itself, probably due to ball bearings... a common problem. So I decided to order the Entire Sump kit for $200.00, instead of just the motor for $150.00. This way I didn't have to try to take off the impellar and run into other unexpected problems. Well, I tackled it on Friday, and ran a couple cycles for testing. No leaks and all functions!! Everything worked splendidly! I was and Am very proud of myself! I hope to get another 9 years out of it as the dishwasher is in excellent condition! | ||
