Welcome Jeff.
Glad to have you aboard. . There are many experts here to help with your troubles. I am a KitchenAid/Hobart guy (not by profession) but own and have owned quite a few. Sounds like the plastic disc (Slinger) on top of the motor shaft to deflect the water should the seal leak has come loose. I believe the most proper way to repair it is to replace the motor. But the Experts will be here before long, so expect some brilliant solutions coming up for your problem. And again, Welcome to Applianceville !!! | ||

Hey Toploader, thanks! I remember a steel piece on top of the motor shaft, is the plastic part you're talking about under that piece? | ||

Jeff...
Here is a link from our Dr. Bombay of the Intergalactical Cosmos of Hobart/ KitchenAid. He describes the "Slinger" as the Cooling Fan on top of the motor. Now he is talking about the 21 series here. You have a 22. I have never owned anything newer than a 20 series... So, other experts will be chiming in shortly. www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T... Hope this helps for now. His reply is #7 | ||

Noisy KD 22 DW It could be a loose cooling fan on top of the motor or bad motor bearings. If you take the pump impellers off the motor shaft and run the motor you will be able to tell if you still have the noise, you have a bad motor. If the plastic cooling fan is loose on the motor shaft you can remove the motor from the DW and epoxy the fan back in place on the motor shaft. | ||

Thanks guys! Dado, that's very interesting, I'd assumed the machine was much older. We bought the house in '93 so it must have been a recent install. I'll take another look with the new info in mind and let you guys know what I find. | ||

So in light of this being a Whirlpool made unit, is it still as desirable? I have a line on a free parts machine if it's worthwhile. It's a bit of a drive so if it's "just an old dishwasher" I won't bother.

Your model is the same one my friends parents had in their house. It was probably from about 1993 or so...in black. I wouldn't be surprised if they still have it. lol. Even being made by Whirlpool, those machines are tanks. They kept the same basic design with a few changes here and there, but still very much the Hobart machines. If you can fix it, I'd say do it.
