Removing the Wash Motor
1. Remove the bolt securing the wash
motor and drip shield in place on the pump
assembly. (Fig. 3-20)
2. Once the bolt and drip shield are removed,
turn the wash motor counter-clockwise
until it stops (approximately ¼ turn).
3. Pull the motor straight back from the sump
assembly. Some effort may be necessary
to dislodge the motor. The volute will re-
main attached to the motor. (See Figure
3-24, page 22)
NOTE: When reinstalling the wash motor and
volute, do not pinch the volute seal between the
volute and sump. Use a small amount of rinse
aid on the volute seal to help installation. (Fig. 3-
24, page 22)
4. With the wash motor removed, the separation
screen can be removed from the sump base.

5. The thermistor can be removed from the sump
by turning it ¼ turn counterclockwise and
pulling it out. (Fig. 3-22) The thermistor can
be removed without removing the sump
assembly from the tub. NOTE: Make sure
water is completely drained from sump.
Access to the thermistor can be gained by
removing the access and toe panels while
the unit is in its installed position.
