Elizabeth F Norfolk , VA October 25, 2024 Water leaking Replaced sump seal. Water dripping down diverter stem. This seal is part of sump seal. Since you have to remove all parts from seal, replaced all rubber seals that I could. Everything was aged, so why not while your under unit anyway. Replaced diverter motor also since water was dripping onto it. I used o ring grease instead of water, to help installing. WATCH the videos!!! Step by step and very helpful.

Brice W Silver Spring , MD February 19, 2022 Appliance: Model 65513543N412 Kenmore washer leak from hinges The leak was from either side and rythmic in nature. Seemed like the first thing to try was addressing a wave being formed in the tub. Causes for that I found on the Internet were broken or clogged spray arms and faulty connections with lower spray arm. I could not located obvious breakage but the gasket on the sump cover was stretched slightly and the was food particles in the arms I could not get out. I ordered and replaced both spray arms and the cover/mount the lower arm connects to. The replacement cover did not have the white gear in the middle that goes up into the lower spray arm. Does not seem to matter as it still spins. No leaks after 2 cycles. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
Patrick P Melbourne , FL November 25, 2025 Appliance: Whirlpool Undercounter Dishwasher WDT790SLYM1 Water leak under bottom center of unit I used AppliancePartsPros.com website to determine the part that was leaking and ordered the parts. Appliance Parts Pros also had video on how to change the part repair the unit. Made it extremely simple. Simply pull out dishwasher, flip on back, disconnect drain hose, (clean up water) remove and replace Diverter Motor, reassemble and reinstall machine under cabinet. Holiday weekend and I was able to completely repair the machine in less than an hour. Purchased a second related part that had a broken tab, just to make it 100% correct again. Bad news for spouse, no new dishwasher today! Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Adjustable Wrench, Pliers, Screwdrivers
