Block and remove water hookup and drain hose. Ensure drain port on garbage disposer has a plug in it while drain hose is disconnected to ensure sink water does not find its way inside the cabinet. Place dishwasher with door facing floor. Remove electrical plug and pump retainer. Slide out pump. To replace pump reverse steps.

Upper Spray Arm kept falling off.
The new arm came preassembled. I unscrewed the old arm base with my hand and screwed the new arm in place. The whole process took less than a minute. The new part was not made the same way. It was better than the original. Must have been a problem from the manufacturer. WORKS GREAT!!!
