Replacing this pump is pretty easy. Disconnect the power and drain hose, and pull your dishwasher out from the counter. Lay it on its side on a towel. There WILL be spillage. Disconnecting the pump is simple. There are a couple hoses, one single wire connection (the thermistor) and one multi-wire plug. The pump is held in place by a

After removing the pump, I disassembled it to find out why these fail so soon. It's a very poor design. I found that the nose of the electric motor, where the bearings are located, sits in a plastic cup formed by the top of the pump body. Any leakage from the pump around the motor shaft will be held in place against the motor bearing. It has no place to go. This causes rusting of the bearing. I expect I'll be replacing this one in a few years. :(
But kudos to PartsSelect for getting the right pump assembly for me, after getting the wrong one from another supplier!

The inside gasket deteriorates over time - However replacement is easy. the main thing you have to remember is after you remove the old gasket, install the new one starting at the middle top of the tub and work your way down both sides. Also, don't push the gasket all the way in...only enough to hold in place. When you close the door the

Ordered the top rack only. had to install all the other parts that were attached to the rack. The adjustment handles were the hardest to install b/c you need to take them apart and they have springs that support the adjustment buttons. It took me about 2 hours to remove and reinstall the handles......they were a pain to work with. I would

I am 77 years old and got it all on but the corners did not want to go in so I had to call my grandson and he got them in. It still leaked on the bottom left side. It is getting old (11 yrs) so I decided to get a new one. It is actually pretty simple to install, but it does take a little strength.

This was my first time repairing a dishwasher. I watched YouTube on how to remove the dishwasher from the cabinet.

The only difficulty I had was getting to the motor which required taking the bottom section off of the dishwash
... Read moreer. I could not get an appliance repair company to work on an LG dishwasher. My only option was to repair the dishwasher or bought a new dishwasher. Therefore, my wife and I decided to , make an attempt to repair this one with a backup plan of buying a new one. Luckily, we were able to fix this one within two hours.
This was a $999 dishwasher. We saved the cost of a new dishwasher by taking the time to fix this one.
The parts are wrong and am trying to return them. There was no return information included with delivery. Calling the Customer Service number for assistance did not work.
I would just like to return these rollers and would like a return address.
