little cooling fins on the rotor of the motor (has a nice ring to it doesn't it) are all bent and scratched. wonder what that is all about? |

I know how frustrating Tub Seals can be on the G.E. dishwashers. Thanks for showing all of the photos of your progress. It looks like a real headache to me. I looked in my G.E. Parts Catalog Book for your Power Shower Model SM301D2. The original Parts page was dated April 1967. So I think your estimate of 1962 is a bit early. Mike |

The problem is that the steel motor shaft is rusted and locks the impeller on. This is why K.A. always used stainless steel shafts. I have serviced many of these in the past, and found the only way to get the impeller off is to break it. I always replaced both wash and drain impellers and the seal assembly. I may be able to find these impellers and the seal in some boxes of old stock I have, but it will take some time to find them. I will let you know if I have any luck. Jeff

just did a load, cleans great! I'm keen to hear about this. This was almost the exact model my grandmother had (which gave way to a 1983 D&M Kenmore "with Power Miser"), and I love the boat-propeller wash impeller design. Funky--fun--but I wonder how much water it moves? Plexiglas time! :-D (though it's tough to work around the PowerShower input) |
