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.

Top arm not spinning leaving dishes dirty
We've had several warranty calls on this machine in the first year ... about 4-5 total. They did several small things before they changed the "motor" 6 months ago. This time the repair was out of warranty. The serviceman said it must be the intake pump motor this time. He said the repair would be over $400. My husband and I decided t hat we would pull the entire motor unit, because neither of us could see how they changed the motor 6 months ago without pulling the machine out from the wall. That is when it hit us that they must've just changed out the intake pump motor and not the motor itself the time before. When my husband handed me the motor to clean, I heard some metal clinking around inside it. I opened it up and found the chopper assembly in pieces. No wonder the top sprayer wasn't spinning and the dishes weren't getting clean. The actual job would've taken about half the time that it did, because the part could've easily been replaced without pulling the unit out. We changed the soil sensor/thermistor assembly just because we figured it couldn't hurt to change it too.

Dishwasher was not cleaning well
It was news to me but a dishwasher needs to be cleaned periodically at least once per year. I watched a You tube video to get the basiscs for this dishwasher. The first step is to remove the upper racks. the two plastic end clips on the sling rails must be removed. 2. Remove the lower rack. 3. The third step is the water spinner. T his is done by holding the retaining nut with a pair of pliers and rotating the water spinner counterclockwise 4. Remove the water distribution system that conveys water to the upper rack by twisting it approx. 30 degrees clcckwise and lifting the bottom hub over the spinner assemby hub. This system is connected to the back and top of the dishwasher with retaing spring clips . 5 Next, remove the filter in the bottom of the dishwasher by using t20 star bit to remove 4 screws. 6. Use a smaller T bit to rove two scews holdin a flat retaining plate and the cover for the chopper assembly. 7. Remove chopper assem. housing by rpivoting housing up to the right . A screwdriver is needed. Clean all parts including dissassembly of the filter, the upper water distribution system etc. If you clean well and put it all back together, your dishwasher will clean again.

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.

Top tray not clean-spotty residue on dishes and glasses
The discharge hose was replaced, the original was loaded with residue but not blocked. Next I checked the possible parts to cause the problem-ordered and replaced. I did use a device, small wooden shim to assist installing the chopper. It was used to depress the spring during the installation.

Big noise when the dishwasher started
First checked the chopper Assembly - looked ok. Put back together. This was not hard to do. Once I made the decision to attempt replacing the pump I was a bit daunted about pulling the dishwasher out but is was very straight forward. Watched lots of youtube videos which were great background.Disconnected the inlet water supply with an adj ustable wrench, the outlet with some pliers to release the tension grip. Unplugged the power and let the lead pull out so I did not have to disconnect the electrics. Next removed the one bolt on the pump and replaced it. It was a bit tricky to wiggle out the old pump. Put back together and it worked.

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.
