Wash Arm - Not Impeller?
Do you mean the wash-arm has four 'spokes' - called the 4 - Way Hydrosweep Wash Arm? The impeller(s) are inside the pump, not visible without disassembly. The very old dishwashers from other makers had impeller washing action - a small spiral or metal fan-shaped device in the bottom of the tank to disperse the water. KitchenAid never used an impeller for their dishwashers - only wash arms and in fact, most impellers were completely gone by the early 60's, I think Westinghouse was the last to use this style of washing. Good luck with your repair! | ||

Thanks for all the help, Steve. I've checked my plumbignand everything is clear so the problem must be somewhere in or near the pump so I'll take a crack at it this weekend. If you don't mind I'd love a scan of the breakdown. Thanks, Les | ||

Thanks, Steve. That will be a huge help. I'm beginning to think it's the drain solenoid not opening the drain completely. Will check it before breaking down the pump but I wasn't sure where the solenoid is located so any help with that I'd love. E-mail me at les.mrhowell@gmail.com. Thanks! | ||

If it has the W/P pump module, disconnect the drain hose at the pump and unscrew the drain valve extension. Small round objects will block the flow of drain water, as it is a smallish opening. That may be your only problem. Try it before disassembling the motor/pump. | ||

oops, disregard my previous post. It is NOT the W/P style pump module, if it's a "21". check the blue drain/check valve for an obstuction before you tear into the pump. | ||

Address check Les, I resent the file to the address you gave above but I am not sure it was a valid email address. Is it? My outlook express burped a bit on me when I typed it in. Steve | ||
