Since the motor shaft is SS on this DW the Impeller usually doesn't get stuck badly, after you remove the retaining screw if you squirt in a little penetrating oil in the hole it will usually pull off with minimal prying. Since it sounds like it wants to break you will need to replace it anyway so I would go ahead and pry it off and replace the Wash Impeller. You will probably find that the drain impeller has broken veins on it and if so you need to replace it and the water seal. This was a common problem with the 18-20 KA DW pumps. |
