Ira G. June 24, 2017 for Model Number Dishwasher MDB6100 Trying to remove the Discharge Pump Housing. Took out all the screws and the housing will not lift off. Feels like something is holding it down. What do suggest?
1 Answer Ira, You will want to grab hold of the shaft that is on the discharge housing with pliers or channel locks and pull it off. This may be stuck due to excess detergent build up. Read More...

Bob August 12, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore # 66513839k600 How can I tell when a Ring Bearing on the upper arm is worn as the arm will not turn by water pressure and it appears that water comes from around that bearing area. The bottom arm turns well and a new water pump was installed. Any other reasons why the arm would not turn as far as needed parts. Thank You.
1 Answer Hello Bob. You will just need to look for wear on the bearing. Most of the time this issue is caused by low water pressure or the spray arm is clogged and bad. Also, look for damage to the manifold and make sure none of the rubber stops are missing in it. Read More...
Kathy August 01, 2014 for Model Number DU945PWSS0 My dishes are not being washed well and the utensils on the door as well as the door itself are dirty after the cycle. What could be wrong? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Kathy, You either have a bad pump or a clog in the water circulation system that is preventing the unit from doing a proper wash, (such as a filter). If the unit is not filling with water, you could have a bad water inlet valve or a bad water level switch or something under the water level float, holding it up so the switch is open. Read More...
Rick January 13, 2014 for Model Number W10199645 How can I tell if the ring bearing is bad? It looks just like the new one.
1 Answer Rick, Normally when this ring bearing goes bad the lower spray arm will have trouble turning. It should turn freely and if it is hanging up then the bearing is most likely bad. Read More...

Patty December 01, 2012 for Model Number DU930PWSQ0 When I removed the lower spray arm nut, nyon gasket, and spray arm I discovered a brown rubber ring that was broken and wedged between the plastic bearing ring. There is a groove on the one side of the brown ring and it is approx 3" in diameter. What is it and where does it go?
1 Answer Hello Patty, This unit would not have a brown rubber ring in it. It may be the rubber ring off of a lid from a jar that worked its way through the pump and hung up there due to no where else to go. Read More...
Arthur B November 24, 2012 for Model Number du930pwps2 leaking water under the door like there,s a hole in the inside of door leaks right under door
1 Answer Arthur, The first check needs to be the lower spray arm and bearings WP8268874,WP3376846,WP9742946. It's more likely, that a worn out bearing, or a spray arm with a split seam, or obstruction in the venturi holes, is causing the water to spray against the bottom of the door and leak out .

Robin July 11, 2012 for Model Number 66516529000 Correct way for reattaching lower sprayer arm nozzle cap? If possible could you send me a diagram for attaching the sprayer arm.
1 Answer Hi Robin. The lower spray arm assy. part # WP8268874 is snapped together as a one piece wash arm/top plate assy. Then on top of it is the washer part # 719576 and the cap assy. part # WP3367910 on top of it. It holds the wash arm to the motor shaft. Unfortunately our young archives do not yet have this breakdown. Then the tower screws on top of the cap outer threads to support the middle spray arm. Thank You. Read More...
