O-Ring Seal

Removed all parts down to wash impeller following online videos and parts breakdowns (took a while to figure out how to do this). The only difficult part was separating the Discharge Pump housing from the Suction Plate. They are fitted together with friction, and a flat-blade screwdriver can push them apart. Replaced broken parts including Wash Impeller, Suction Plate, and Discharge Pump Housing. Purchased Filter Support because it was involved and appeared to have been damaged, but the new part looks identical to the old part. Purchased new o-ring & gasket to avoid digging them out of broken parts. Cleaned out the spray arms top & bottom and it now works like new!

Using the break down view suppled by the PartSelect website I removed the parts covering the broken pump impala. The busted impala also scored the pump housing, which also needed to be replaced. For added measure, I replaced the O rings I encountered (alway a good thing to do while your in there). The shaft of the motor is rusted and I needed to break off the last of the impala with small chisel and some light taps. Before reassembling I used some fine grit sandpaper on the shaft, don't go wild here, a tight fit is better than a sloppy one. Total time on the repair wasn't that long. (But don't tell the wife, it bought me a cupple quarters of football!)

After shutting off power and water to the unit, I disconnected the water supply line using a Crescent wrench and a pair of channellock pliers to support the solenoid.
I then disconnected the power at the junction box and the drain and circulate lines and clamps.
Then unlatched the retaining ring under the unit and lifted the pump assembly out.
Using the detail drawing from the web site I disassembled the pump assembly and laid out the parts in order of removal.
I then reassembled the pump assembly in reverse order replacing the worn parts with the new parts purchased from PartSelect.
I then reassembled the unit in reverse order checking for leaks as I went along.
The part worked great and my friend's dishwasher works beautifully.

Excellent site. When the dishwasher started making a loud grinding sound, i thought "oh great -- now I'll have to buy a new one". After searching the internet (I just entered the model number of my Maytag dishwasher), Partsselect.com came up in the search results. I read several postings from previous customers which described the same problem I was having... followed their step-by-step instructions and was able to disassemble the lower washer arm and find the culprit -- a broken wash impeller. Ordered the parts, they arrived within a couple of days, spent 15 mins putting everything back together and I'm now good to go! THANKS PARTS SELECT!!!!! I owe somebody a free lunch!

this repair is done from the inside,remove lower basket,screw off the center nut (its not to tight came off by hand, no tools)take off spray arm,take all the torque bolts out,remove the screen filter take the 3 bolts out of the pump housing and remove, mine came apart that was the noise. The impeller may not need to be replaced but mine had marks on it so I did.Install new seals clean up parts and put it back together with new parts ..works as good as new!!! I had my new parts in 1 (ONE)day PartSelect thank you. Andy,

First, I used the diagrams to disassemble the internal components to inspect the various seals. Then, I reassembled the components and replaced the seals in the process with new ones.
