Product review (1 stars): DESIGN FLAW
After only 11 months of using our dishwasher we had to replace the pump due to breakage of the small fanlike part connected to the shaft on the outside of the pump. Now again after only two months of use this same part has failed again.  This appears to be a design flaw since the part does not hold up during normal use.  We always rinse our dishes so the cause should not be because of food debris.  We really hesitate spending the time and money to replace the part again when it has a history of failure.  We have contacted Whirlpool to report this apparent design flaw
