Hi Reggie, sorry I did not catch up on this thread sooner. I have a used pump/motor assembly you may have. It is from an older unit that I was saving as a backup for my own WK. I don't use the WK as a daily driver (as I want to preserve it) so the likelihood of me needing the backup is pretty nil.
The pump/motor is identical to yours except for the heating element (it is from a pre-Steam model, the SS911). You will need to exchange the heating element.
I noticed that you removed the motor from the pump without taking the pump out. If you decide to remove the motor from the pump i have and install on yours you will need to remove the pump from the machine in order to properly install the motor on it. Most likely you will need to shim the wash impeller when reinstalling as there are always minor differences in tolerances when installing a different motor from the one it came off the assembly line with. It would be easier to exchange the heating element.
If you send me your address I'll let you know what packaging/shipping will cost (prob not much since your next door to my state!)
You have a unique dishwasher; these were based on Wasteking's second design of built in dishwashers, dating back to 1965 or so. The only major changes over the years were the addition of stainless steel tubs, a change from aluminum to phenolic (plastic) pumps, and the steam generator. Wasteking was also an early pioneer (in the U.S.) of the delayed start option. I always liked their styling and they cleaned well, but they were not very durable and used quite a bit of water. Pumps, alas, were one of their weakest points. When Bosch took control of the brand, this design was abandoned almost immediately. Oh well! They're still nice to look at & play with!
