Product review (5 stars): Just what my dishwasher needed
After living for a few months with my dishwasher making an extremely loud noise after a minute into washing I searched online for causes and decided it was the motor. Amazon had the part I needed at the lowest price. I went ahead and purchased this replacement and it arrived not a moment too soon. In fact the day before it got delivered, my dishwasher decided to stop making the loud noise and died completely.  I replaced the motor assembly in about 40 minutes (had previous experience taking it apart to figure out if it was the motor or something else).

(Note: I thought about only purchasing the stand alone motor itself but decided it would be best to get the entire assembly since the gasket and grinder blade were wearing out on my old one. Still holding on to the old assembly for parts down the road if needed - of course not the motor.)

Doing the trouble shooting myself as well as the install saved me a lot of money. I also thought about replacing the entire dishwasher with a new one (mine is 8 years old) but didn't really want to spend that much money if a simple part could fix it. I decided to purchase this and give it a try. I am glad I did. It sounds like the dishwasher is brand new again. I'm extremely happy with the purchase and I am reminded about it every time I turn it on.
