Customer Repair Stories

Getting codes on display E1 E9. Pump not draining. It would drain after pump cooled down.
After unplugging the dishwasher, removing the water supply hose, and disconnecting the drain hose, I removed the dishwasher from under the cabinet. I turned the dishwasher on its side, exposing the drain pump. I removed the electrical connection wire by sliding the white keeper forward and then using a small screwdriver, I pushed in on the black clip securing the plug. I then found the clip holding the pump and rotated the pump from the sump area. I installed the new pump in the same way I removed it. Reinstalled the water line, pump hose . Put unit back and plugged it in. Turned on dishwasher. Works perfectly now.
