the water must come out) have nothing lodged there.

Thanks Jeff for the link to the lower priced part - anyway for me to

narrow down if its the cooling blade?

My conclusion on whether to repair is leaning in the opposite
direction.
This is a dishwasher that is nearly 20 years old, and the part
requires a handyman installation (I've yet to find one in
neighborhood).
I'm afraid if I do replace the pump/motor approx. $200-250 and it
breaks again (given its age, a possibility), I would have been better

off buying a new one.

I'm considering
Whirlpool 24-Inch Built-In Dishwasher (Color: White on White)
ENERGY STAR=AE
Item #: 75888
Model: DU1050XTP

Approx with installation cost is $540

Spin the fan blade by hand as sometimes it breaks free from the motor
shaft and can make a terrible/odd noise.

If the blade is ok and nothing jamming up the motor and mpump assembly
from running properly ( see sump inlet behind the lower spray arm
)=2E..if the motor is receving 110-120 volts AC but not running or just
hummmmming =3D new motor and pump assembly time.
