Product Description
If your dishwasher is not cleaning your dishes properly, is not draining, or is noisy while operating, there may be an issue with your chopper assembly. The chopper is used to mince up food particles in the dishwasher, which prevents them from clogging up the pump. If you need to replace the chopper, this is a genuine OEM assembly for your dishwasher. Before beginning this repair, be sure to disconnect the power to your dishwasher. You will need to remove both the upper and lower racks from the dishwasher in order to easily access the chopper assembly. You will need a number 15 and number 20 torque screwdriver and a pair of needle nose pliers to complete this repair.

I performed repair exactly as instructed, the hardest and most time consuming part was cleaning all the old food and junk out from under filter, once that was done repair went very easy. Screen on old chopper was completely clogged.

Not cleaning well, especially the upper rack.
Based on troubleshooting guidance from this site, ordered 3 parts: middle and top spray arms, and a chopper. Removed upper rack and flipped it over to get to the middle spray arm. Removed a single screw to remove the spray arm an replace. Noticed a small hole in the manifold that supplies water to the middle spray arm. (Will need replaci ng soon.) That was the easy part. We have very hard municiple water that has left a lot of mineral deposits, even with regular use of cleaning tablets. So, the upper sprayer also needed to be replaced: it was not spinning freely. This required removing the feed tube for the top sprayer enough to pop the sprayer off. (There is a video describing how to do this.) Because the chopper was also being replaced the whole sprayer feed tube needed to be removed. Between the videos and the part diagrams I was able to get down to the chopper protector, but removing the screw did not "free up" the protector. The minerals from the hard water nearly "welded" it in place. Was finally able to carefully pry it up from the screw tab with a paint can opener. The chopper had come apart and the chopper's screen was almost completely clogged with gunk. Replaced the chopper and reassembled. Also, all through the whole repair process I did a lot of scraping and soaking with white vinegar to get a lot of the mineral deposits off areas exposed during the repair, though not neArly all deposit. The site was a great help. Thanks to all who contributed.

Dishwasher would not clean the dishes
I could not repair the dishwasher, I changed the Chopper, the Latch, and another part recommended by the website. I have decided to buy a new washer. If your washer is over 5 years old, it is not worth the time and effort to fix it. By the way, it takes 7 to 10 days for the parts to arrive. It took a month for me to figure out that I could not fix it. Good luck.

The chopper part/gear that engages the motor drive stripped causing a food clog and no water flow resulting in dirty dishes
Remove all racks and the bottome spinning sprayer. The sprayer comes off using pliers on the tab in the middle of the rotating sprayer arms it spins off clockwise I believe And drops out of the bottom of the sprayer assembly remove the plastic top/back/bottom spray assembly by popping it from the rear and top metal clips. Then tilt forwa rds to clear the clips and rotate the entire c shaped spray assembly clockwise approx 45 degrees until it disengages from the bottoms strainer assembly tabs. Next remove four torx/start bits from the strainer and gently pry it upwards while wiggling. The next step can be tricky if funky water is left in the bottom so it is best to try and soak the water up to see the next torx screw on the left of the grinder strainer. This strainer then tilts up from the left towards the right on a hinge like tab. The grinder assembly should then tilt forwards and lift out easily. Be careful to properly seat the new grinder into the groove at the bottom of the grinder Inlet and make sure it is free of debris. Use a needle nose pliers to hold the spring/gear outwards towards the grinder plate in order to em guage the gears easier. Assembly is the reverse of the steps then with care taken not to strip and plastic screw holes.

1.)The rinse cap had fallen and was burned by the heating element. 2.) The chopper assembly was worn and clogged.
The recommendation on the web site suggested the highest probability of not getting the dishes clean properly was the chopper assembly. It is not too difficult to disassemble the components to get to the chopper assembly and clean out all the debris. Took a long nose pliers and a great deal of patience. After dozens of attempts and abou t 40+minutes, it went into the proper grooves and the top went on and was screwed it back together. The machine now works like new. I'll be ordering the door pulley assembly next due to a lot of noise during closing and opening the door.

water pressure was too low
I purchased the pump and motor assembly just to be sure, but only the intake filter was plugged and the chopper blade push nut fell off. So I returned the whole unit $170 and purchased just the chopper assembly $15. The installation was easy, and the videos really helped. The screen was covered in a stringy fat from some meat source. How it got past the holes in the intake cover plate at the bottom of the dishwasher lord only knows. We usually rinse our dishes anyway. It was a great outcome: it was $28 with all, instead of two repairman visits at $300 apiece. Please put the part number in, I'm at work and the order was emailed from home.

not cleaning well
I followed instruction on the video to remove wash arms and lower cover. This hadn't been opened since I bought the machine. The area was completely disgusting and clogged. I'm surprised it worked at all. I removed all junk and cleaned with chlorine and an old tooth brush. The original chopper was loose and not working. The sump che ck valve had broken off and the disc was missing. I looked for but couldn't find the disc. I replaced both parts with new and the machine works as good as new now. I couldn't find any kind of schematic to see the water flow during the various cycles, but it looks like the check stops water from returning to sump during discharge. I was worried the old disc might damage the pump internally, but nothing seems amiss.
