Free dishwasher, looks exactly like one in link. Needs motor; worked great until motor failed. http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?59256

I should add... I should add that it looks like there was some hard water scale on and inside the motor. There were no visible leaks but I suspect a very minor or imtermittant leak; I'm thinking seals should be replaced, yes? Any thoughts, idea of availability, tips, etc. Thanks again!!!

the saga continues After finding no visible shorts I removed the dishwasher from the counter, disassembled it, and bench-tested the motor. It is indeed the problem. Does this one from Sears (in link below) appear to be the correct replacement? Is there anyone on here that has one that they...

I've since tore into it a bit further... I removed and benched tested the drain valve; it is working well. I sponged the water from the sump and removed the housing to gain access to the impeller. It spins freely with no obstruction. The machine still immediately trips the breaker when...

Hi, While washing a load my KDS16 failed to drain and water overflowed/leaked from around the door. I opened the door, checked inside, closed the door and pressed "cancel/drain." The breaker tripped and, if I reset and try "cancel/drain" or "full cycle" it immediately trips. I checked inside and...
