The Dishwasher Pump and Motor Assembly, complete with a Capacitor, serves as an essential part across various dishwasher models, such as those from Frigidaire, Electrolux, and Sears-Kenmore. This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component plays a crucial role in directing water to the spray arm, enabling the dishwasher to operate efficiently. Over time, the pump motor can experience wear and may require a replacement, which can be accomplished through straightforward procedures.
To replace the pump motor, begin by disconnecting the electrical supply and turning off the water valve. Proceed to remove the screws securing the lower access panel and detach the water supply line from the inlet valve. Then, unscrew the mounting screws from the junction box cover and record the wire configuration. Additionally, disconnect the drain hose from the sink or garbage disposal unit.
Open the dishwasher door, remove the mounting screws, and carefully pull the dishwasher out from the cabinet. Detach the covers from the hinge ropes and disjoin them. Unscrew the fasteners securing the upper door panel. Gently tilt the dishwasher backward, disconnect the fill hose from its clip, and separate it from the sump.
Remove the old circulation pump, position the new pump aligning it with the seal and sump, and secure it with the clamp. Transfer the wires to the new pump and reattach all previously removed panels. This authentic replacement component is compatible with dishwashers from Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Westinghouse.
