The motor likely failed because of a small amount of water leaking on and into it over time. You will diffidently have to fix the leak when replacing the motor, most likely leak is the shaft seal, and the other common leak on these is a tiny crack in the black plastic Bakelite drain pump housing. KA used the same motor on the 15-17 DWs, as far as I know this motor has been NLA for many years so I would be a little disbelieving about Sears having it without a picture, but I guess you can always send it back. |
